“I think Batman has been out now four times, but I think they’ve lost sight of the fact that the first movie came up over ten years ago,” says McFarlane. “And the one thing that they’ve lost sight of is that we are all ten years older. So the audience that brought you in $300 million in that first movie, even if we were 12, we’re now 22. We’re now out of high school, we now have jobs, we now go to college, we’ve now been through three different relationships, we pay taxes, we know what the words ‘cancer’ and ‘death’ mean, so the world is a different place.”

The Music Store Is Dead - Long Live The Music Store!
It’s all we hear about now: the Internet is radio for ideas. An idea that hits the right group of connected individuals online and it can spread in minutes. Leaders and marketers of all kinds can align like-minded people, engage them in a new idea and change the culture - usually quickly, almost always for free.

The Power Of Free Sample Marketing For A Digital World
Digital media is something that has really changed the way that the world works. It has created a large shift in the way that information is passed along and in the way that entertainment is found and purchased. Computers allow music to be shared in mere moments. They allow whole books to be transferred from a seller to a buyer without any physical transaction taking place; these books can then be read on the screen. There is this whole culture of instantaneous transfer of goods. It has progressed to the point where people do not even like to wait for any amount of time. They do not want to make a purchase in a store because that would mean leaving the house, driving to the store, and waiting in the check-out line. You can make use of this culture with your free sample marketing.

What's REALLY Holding You Back?
If you’re spinning your wheels to get your business going and if everything you do feels like a struggle, it may be time to dig deeper for the source of your troubles. The causes may be hiding in the shadows and with just a little bit of attention, will be brought into the light.

Well if you're a "social media expert" probably a lot. If you're just a guy/gal? Maybe a like you back. If you're a company, product, service? Just don't unlike us cause we can't stand rejection. The big winner is Zuck because he's just added another page to the stuff he keeps on you to sell to "interested" parties...life is grand!!!!

The Buzz About Being
What are you so busy doing that you are forgetting who you are being? Do you like who you are becoming?
Ever Dance the Google Dance?
For those who know Google well like us, the Google Dance is not a dance at all. It's when Google changes their ranking algorithm significantly to try to get better search results on a Google search. Google calls it 'improving the users experience'. Companies that depend on natural search listings on Google probably see it as the 'dodge the bullet' dance. They hope they don't get impacted much by the algorithm update. This comes along only 1-3 times a year and is referred to as the Google Dance and is NOT advertised in advance.
Getting to Know Yourself
Most people think they know themselves pretty well, but how well do you really know yourself? Do you know exactly how you feel about certain things and why, or do you tend to judge how you feel by how you think you should feel? Are you comfortable with your feelings and the "inner you," or is that uncomfortable?
