The Global Paradox And Main Street Marketing Machines

Wednesday, April 20 Paul Colligan

One of the most important books for my business and professional career was/is The Global Paradox. Although written when the Internet was becoming a reality, very very little of it had to do with that specific tech. The book was all about the logical implications of where things are going. And, it was as obvious…Read More »

Dead In 2010

Monday, October 25 Paul Colligan

I tweeted last week that “Acer Chairman says iPad impact not serious … then offers Easter Bunny job as Chief Strategy Director.” Apologies to the Easter Bunny in suggesting he’d take such a demotion but, … let’s face it, with the iPad, the Netbook is dead in 2010. Today I sit in front of my…Read More »

Xbox 360 With Zune HD Integration (Fall Update Preview) – Fascinating Implications – Is This The Box I’m Looking For?

Wednesday, September 29 Paul Colligan

The TV on the Internet world has had a bunch of interesting announcements this week. We now know Apple TV is running IOS on the inside (TV Apps anyone?) and Hulu+ is coming to the Roku box. When will we get that ultimate box? Does Microsoft have a chance with all in this? Let’s cover…Read More »

The 21st Century In 20th Century Terms

Monday, November 16 Paul Colligan

I’ve recently been a bit obsessed by the book Socialnomics (affiliate link). Lynn Terry introduced it to me last time we recorded Internet Marketing This Week and, wow, very very cool stuff. I can’t recommend it enough. I’m changing some things around here based on the simple truths contained within – and I’ll be you…Read More »

Zune HD

Thursday, September 17 Paul Colligan

So, the Zune HD has been out for a few days now. I’ve had mine for a bit longer, but wasn’t able to activate it for use until Tuesday morning like everyone else. So, what do I think? The Good Form factor and feel are awesome. This device feels much “bigger” than it really is….Read More »

Impressed With Windows 7

Monday, September 7 Paul Colligan

I grabbed a $300 netbook from Costco the other day and put Windows 7 “Starter Edition” on it.  For those of you not familiar with it – it’s a stripped down version of Windows that they’ll start selling with Netbooks very soon – something to counterbalance all those Netbooks sold with Linux installed. This thing…Read More »

New iPods Coming?

Wednesday, August 26 Paul Colligan

AppleInsider tells us that a new iPod lineup is coming very soon – 9/9/9 to be exact. Rumors they’re also “confirming” include some “social networking” features being built inside of iTunes 9. Weren’t we “laughing” at Microsoft’s attempt to make the Zune social a few years back? It all makes sense though – the camera…Read More »

WWDC 2009 Comments – Paul’s New Media Spin

Monday, June 8 Paul Colligan

As always, I geeked out and monitored the livebloggers during the WWDC event. Here are my comments accordingly (for the record, I monitored Geekbrief’s live stream, Engadget, TUAW, and Gizmodo): Zune HD Jokes – haven’t heard yet, but you know they’re coming … New Macbooks and pricing – all nice – but nothing revolutionary. Snow…Read More »

Does Microsoft’s (And Everyone Else’s) Future Media Integration Plans Kill The Indie Producer? Is Felicia Day A Star Or What?

Monday, June 1 Paul Colligan

Today as I sat through an amazing presentation by Microsoft that included Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Steven Spielberg and Felicia Day (you can read the details of the Xbox/Zune E3 announcements here), I had to ask myself a single question: Where is the indie producer in this? As I look at Hulu’s attempt to kill…Read More »

Zune HD – Details Emerge From Microsoft – And They Might Have Got It Right In Version 3

Tuesday, May 26 Paul Colligan

ZuneHD.com has official details from Microsoft about their Zune HD product. We’re guessing Microsoft got tired of all the rumors. Looks very cool – and looks like a key player – or at least potentially so. I’m heading out to S3 next week and will be at the Xbox Press Event where they will demonstrate…Read More »
