For me, the meaning of life is to leave the world a better place than you found it. Many of us will come and go, leaving ripples that fade over time into the noise of history. A select few, though, will play the role of chaos theory’s butterfly. Through actions that perhaps even appear insignificant, […]

Jim captures the essence of why I stopped following local news: it favors the trivial. During college I ended up relying on NPR to keep abreast of things.

Metric-driven processes oriented marketing
Left unanswered, though, is how affordable and accurate engagement metrics might be collected. His call for an industry […]
