Is architect a verb? (32)
on Seth's Blog (648) permalinkI confess. I like using it that way. I think architecting something is different from designing it. I hope you can forgive me but I think it's a more precise way to express this idea. Design carries a lot of baggage related to aesthetics. We say something is well-designed if it looks good. There are great designs that don't look good, certainly, but it's really easy to get caught up in a bauhaus, white space, ...Shared by Aashay (15) AJ (680) Alex (22) Alex Hardy (10) Andrew Boardman (121) Anne McCrossan (28) B O (16) bfernald (60) danliebke (147) Dr. Ernie (96) Elliott P.

13 Things To Know About The 3rd Straight McCain Attack (31)
on The Full Feed from HuffingtonPost.com (307) permalinkJohn McCain's third straight attack ad. Okay, another day, another John McCain attack ad on Barack Obama. This one came in over the weekend. It's the third straight, as the McCain campaign is increasingly abandoning positive advertising in favor of negative ads on the frontrunner. Though the positive ad I wrote about on July 10th is still in rotation, at least for now. The latest Mac attack ad plays above.

Instead, the wide selection (in every market, not just digital ones) is a collection of smaller long tails, each with its own dip, each with its own winners (and losers). Pick the biggest market you can successfully dominate, the biggest slice where you can get through the Dip and be seen as the best in that world."

Newsweek Poll (1)
on Member Posts (0) permalinkAccording to the latest Newsweek Poll, Obama dropped 12 points from his 15 point lead down to a 3 point lead. In the prior poll, he was winning independents by 12 points... the new poll suggests he is losing independents by 6. I'm not posting this to freak out. I understand that it's a Newsweek poll and thus generally has a high margin of error. I understand that the prior lead was probably a bit ...Shared by B O (16)Contribute comment
