In un recente studio online che ha preso come campione 600 uomini e donne adulte, novaQuant ha analizzato le influenze del passaparola riguardo alla presa delle decisioni rispetto ad un gruppo diversificato di prodotti e servizi, che vanno dai computers alle ...

In my "Six Drivers of Brands Credibility" that opens up my book, "listening" and "responsiveness" are cited as among the most important. To help my readers appreciate some of the new techniques and experiments underway by brands seeking to improve the way they listen and respond, I've created a special account on Twitter that is exclusively dedicated to following companies and brands that have Twitter accounts. It's actually pretty cool, and taken together, it almost ...

“Not much time left, really.” My father’s voice on the other end of the line reminds me of my grandfather’s, determined, sure. It’s been nearly ten years since I heard that voice, but here it is again on a Sunday morning, me making beds before church, Dad making his customary Sunday morning call. “At best, maybe fifteen years. I’m on my last chapter.” He pauses and I let the empty space beckon answers. Grandpa died ...

A co-worker was raving the other day because several hours after he wrote a post online about a problem with a Google product, a Google Product Manager sent him an email. Regardless of when and how the problem is fixed, my co-worker was thrilled to know that someone was listening and was now aware of the problem. Initially, this seemed a bit strange to me. He went from being frustrated to thrilled, yet the problem ...

What a GREAT first-time experience combining a webinar with the power of twitter to broaden the conversation. In case you missed it, here’s a summary of what stood out most for me. People are using social networks to find pockets of opportunities. Social networks/social media are changing search engine results, often ...

My best friend O. spent the past couple of days with me. I hadn’t seen her in years, and it was a complete joy to have her all to myself for a few days. The only thing that (I thought) spoiled the perfect joy of these few days is that I caught a cold and had a sore throat. Interesting how, when my throat hurts, I think twice about what I want to say, and ...

It's going to take a few years to unravel, but I suspect today marked a significant change in how I want to think and how I'd prefer to present what I think. A few years ago my friend Dmitri Cavander, a fantastic web designer and painter, got me interested in the work of Edward Tufte. I've rifled through a few of Tufte's books, but never found the opportunity to dig in. Until today.The gal at ...

1893 Columbian Exposition, Chicago, and Vikings — basically a convergence of things I take geeky historical pleasure in. Reproduced from Stanley Applebaum’s The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893, p. 51. Snagged by Karla Kaulfuss, via Flickr. Daedelus remains one of my favorite electronic music personalities. A virtuoso of his hand-built Monome (the early prototype) dressed in Victorian garb, he always manages to exude charisma in his music. And sure enough, as opposed to the usually ...

This was one of my birthday gifts this year: It’s a snow globe with a music box that plays “Angels We Have Heard on High“. The gift giver knew that I was a sucker for snow globes, and he said that I didn’t have to wind it up until Christmas. Joking around, I said “well, either that or I could tape a contact mic to it and run it through a bunch of effects…” So ...

Gas0095, the landmark 90s ambient release, is back in a remastered version. If you know the music, you’re probably already thrilled by the return of this epic sonic world; if not, even non-ambient fans are likely to get a kick out of the spacey, synthy goodness. (Best press quote: “the ideal soundtrack to an IMAX film on the history of space travel.” You had me at IMAX.) Paul from Microscopic writes to tell us they’re ...
