Soft Wallet Coupon Technology Better Than Traditional Search

May 4, 2010

As PC's become more telephony-like via applications such as Skype and other unified communication solutions,  it should not go unnoticed that  developers are also pushing phone apps to become more "data centric" search tools.  SoftWallet and other applications  of the same genre may become the strongest player in the growing wave of new localized advertising solutions.

Get More from Google, Bing, NeXplore and Yahoo

April 28, 2010

Analysis of:The Science of Managing Search Ads | www.nytimes.com

While the concept of "keyword searches" are the foundation of the internet, not everyone is prepared to take that simple concept to the full potential.  The rules and practices of getting "best page rank" can be both frustrating and expensive unless you know what you are doing... and sometimes that means paying more up front to get better results from your ad campaign.

Have Web Click Ads Run Their Course?

April 28, 2010

Analysis of:Web Display Ads Attract Fewer Clicks | www.nytimes.com

A recent New York Times article pinpoints research from ComScore that the number of people who actually click on at least one online display ad has fallen sharply to just  16 percent of all online web users... that is a significant fall of almost half the rate from the previous 20 months.  So what is the fate of this internet staple of currency, and the cash cow of the search engine market?

Google Beats the Buggy Whip

March 9, 2010

Analysis of:These Battle Lines Are Drawn in Yellow | www.nytimes.com

Google started as the search engine that became an application developer as they tried to become all things to all people, from mapping in 3D to voice services.  Now they plan to beat the last breath out of the struggling  yellow pages directory suppliers. And Good Riddance!

3D Get's Short Changed by a Billionaire

December 15, 2009

Analysis of:3d Experiment Falls Flat at Cowboys Stadium | profootballtalk.nbcsports.com

With a state-of-the-art stadium, the planet's largest video screen, and a world class sports organization, Jerry Jones found a way to go second rate. Using technology from the 1950's, the "3D Video Experience" during the Cowboys-Chargers game was a fiasco - but didn't have to be.

Yahoo Not a Search Company... And Atlantis is Not a Myth

December 8, 2009

Analysis of:Yahoo Chief: We Have Never Been a Search Company | bits.blogs.nytimes.com

Carol Bartz, CEO of Yahoo states that while Bing and Google are 'search companies', Yahoo is something you do... "I'm on Yahoo, and I'm going to do a search".... So does that make Yahoo seem more comfortable as market share sinks, or is Bartz afraid to face the facts?

The Golden Goose Wants to be Paid

November 25, 2009

Analysis of:News Corp. Weighs an Exclusive Alliance With Bing | www.nytimes.com

OVERVIEW: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Rupert Murdoch's publishing syndicate News Corporation (News Corp). are considering the concept of charging search engine providers to access indexed online content. Microsoft seems willing to pay, and New Corp and the rest of the publishing world are hoping they’ve finally found the "cha-ching" angle in an online world. How does this shift affect the search engine industry, online advertisers, and the average internet user?

The Great Search Engine Shootout

October 20, 2009

Analysis of:Bing, the Imitator, Often Goes Google One Better | www.nytimes.com

Google is the mammoth market leader, the bright light that illuminates the SEO world first and foremost; Bing is the large moth that is fluttering around that light, hoping to block it out with large wings that span the globe - but a small butterfly flying on it's own is the one to watch- the visionary search engine NeXplore.com - ya gotta try it to believe it!

Microsoft and Yahoo: 'Microhoo' vs the DOJ

October 12, 2009

Analysis of:"Start Your Search Engines" | online.wsj.com

I have no idea why Wisconsin Senator Herb Kohl (D) is so riled up about the proposed Microsoft - Yahoo ("MicroHoo") alliance. Antitrust protection is supposed to keep a large market leader - such as Google - from running away with market share and then price gouging customers. But Microhoo wouldn't create that scenario - so what is the real problem? Is the DOJ simply against Microsoft trying to get bigger? Would the DOJ look more favorably at a deal with a smaller company?

IPhone Coma Mode puts Apple in the ICU

September 19, 2009

Analysis of:Apple sends iPhones into 'Coma Mode' | www.theregister.co.uk

For years, Apple has smartly positioned itself as the "smarter and more reliable" platform manufacturer for PC and consumer electronics. We have all come to understand that by giving up certain freedoms and options, dealing with an operating system from Apple meant a more reliable, and more secure endgame. Now with the buggy release of the new 3.1 IPhone upgrade, Apple is showing us it is even less responsive than their competitor when it comes to admitting a mistake and delivering a fix.

3D for the Home Market is Real - and Here Now

August 20, 2009

Analysis of:After Conquering the Movies, 3-D Viewing Makes Its Way Toward Home TVs | online.wsj.com

Over 1.2 million "3D Ready" TV's were sold in the US alone in 2008, coming from Mitsubishi, Samsung, and others according to CEDIA (Consumer Electronics Dealers association)... what we have been waiting for is something that would play the content. I have seen it... it is here... it works well. I want one!

Radio Shack "Has" the Answer... Will They See It?

August 6, 2009

Analysis of:Even CEO Can't Fgure Out How Radio Shack is Still in Business | www.theonion.com

Radio Shack has the vehicle to turn things around... a hidden strength that competitors can't touch. The key to profits isn't always about the most product, foot traffic, or anything other than actual "profit"... and the Shack has an fast profit vehicle if they refocus from major markets where they have neither the image, products, or appeal to compete. Radio Shack can still drive nice results by looking in their own back pocket . They will find a unique footprint where others can't go!

"Real" 3D for Home Video and PC Gaming at a Great Price

July 22, 2009

Analysis of:Glacier Media Systems Launches True 3D for the Home Market this Summer | www.glaciermediasystems.com

I like toys... the more buttons, options, and blinking lights - so much the better as far as I'm concerned. But the most stunning technology I've seen in years is a simple box with very few buttons and lights - just an elegant black front plate that looks like a basic home DVD player with a power button, an insertion tray, and the coolest 3D reality you could ever imagine!

Dell's Delima - Has the World Gone Mad?

July 21, 2009

Analysis of:Dell Rejects Consolidation Strategy Popular With Rivals | bits.blogs.nytimes.com

In my 30 years of technology industry experience in the executive suite, I've never been more shocked to hear that a progressive company would limit the potential for acquisitions "only to smaller companies"... and smaller than what measure? Perhaps the Titanic was only willing to crash into "smaller icebergs"?

Bing vs. Google. vs the Reality of History

July 19, 2009

Analysis of:Bing Delivers Credibility to Microsoft | www.nytimes.com

If recent history in the digital age shows us anything, it's that the stranglehold that Google has on the search engine market is not going to last forever... but will it be Bing that replaces Google? Yahoo...? or some other smaller, more focused company already out there? Who is on the horizon that may challenge, and where will there be intersections and overlap?

Google Voice to Affect Unforseen Aspects of Communications

July 8, 2009

Analysis of:Internet Telephony: Google Voice | www.pcmag.com

Google Voice will provide more flexibility than any other similar service offering in the near future, at a price that no one can beat... "Free".  How this will trickle down through the rest of the communication industry may not be readily plain, but the ramifications are huge.
