Blackberry Storm gets an upgrade…

Taylor Marek

When the Blackberry Storm was first announced, I wanted to get one. But of course I have to wait 1.5 years to get a new phone as I already have a contract with Verizon. So I went about my days and kept up to date on news of its release and review. Then I started hearing the complaints come in and thought, “Good thing I didn’t buy one, might have a lemon on my hands.” I was suprised when I heard of an update to their software.

Social Media Budget Ratio

Buzz Marketing for Technology

After my last post on the Media Budget Ratio I got a question out on the Marketing 2.0 community by Scott Zosel about how much should you allocate for Social Media in your budget? Great question Scott and you inspired me to write this post. So here it goes. The cost of the technology used for social media is rather low. Take for example - a blog - costs next to nothing, a podcast can cost btw $0 and $2000 on the high end, a video can cost btw $0 and $10,000 - $15,000, a wiki can cost about $6500

Who is doing Major Corporate Events?

Buzz Marketing for Technology

I had dinner the other night with a buddy of mine who runs a company that produces major corporate events. You know the kind with a stage, lighting, stadium seating and a day or two of PowerPoint presentations designed to pump up the troops. Interestingly enough he reported their business was off dramatically in that area. Why? Three letters - AIG … No corporate events person in their right mind would want to do a major event right now in the wake of the AIG scandal.
