http://www.minonline.com MinOnline en-us 2012 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:58:55 EST It’s paradoxical that just as our personal and professional lives race toward the end of the year at speeds unknown before October, we will stop and reflect on our past 12 months' accomplishments. This year, the pace is no different from previous years, with perhaps the exception that it’s the... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/16073.html Tue, 14 Dec 2010 6:18:41 EST I stepped into an alternate marketing reality on a recent Monday night. I was surrounded by fantasy and magic in a fourth-floor loft on the West Side of Manhattan. The bigger surprise, beyond the environment I was agape at, was that it was a Microsoft event—an open house to share their newest and... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/15515.html Tue, 19 Oct 2010 20:18:12 EDT I guess Apple didn’t need the spectacle of long store lines to feed the frenzy of iPad sales. It was announced that the iPad eclipsed 3 million units sold—a faster rate than the iPhone took to reach similar milestones. With the PR around these record sales approaching a steady roar, it’s... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/14705.html Thu, 8 Jul 2010 7:11:03 EDT When I see long lines of people waiting outside Apple stores to purchase the iPad, then I will be convinced that it is going to save the publishing industry. Don’t get me wrong—as an agency that creates experiences that in turn builds businesses, at Razorfish we are looking forward to rolling up... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/13822.html Thu, 25 Mar 2010 6:53:36 EDT "It’s a good problem to have" – this is the reassuring statement we tell ourselves when faced with a deluge of opportunities we can’t possibly handle and are forced to prioritize. It’s a phrase I have heard many times over the last few months from almost everyone in the... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/13565.html Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:14:31 EST I recently saw this video on YouTube, and for a full five minutes I was rolling on the floor laughing. It’s a montage of daily humdrum activities—paying a restaurant bill, getting a haircut and renting a movie—that’s ridiculously funny. In the vignettes the consumer assumes the... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/12999.html Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:04:27 EST I was hoping by now we would see ad technologies consolidated into a manageable few. Instead there’s been an exponential growth in technologies—ad exchanges, ad optimizers, data exchanges and the old faithful behavioral targeting network—promising publishers a better way to manage their... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/12466.html Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:19:31 EDT Razorfish is very interested in the semantic Web and the opportunities it provides to our publishing clients. The term semantic technology can be confusing as it includes a growing range of developments that attempt to use structure and context to discern meaning from content in an effort to have computers... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/11640.html Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:12:53 EDT If Oprah were to endorse a content management system, which one would it be? There are so many options, flavors and variations in the market it isn’t easy to make a decision. Do you need an enterprise level CMS or a Web CMS? Will either of those handle mobile content publishing, or is there a separate... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/11427.html Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:04:01 EDT It wasn’t long ago that publishers generated advertising and subscription revenue by aggregating viewers to monetize content. Viewer attention was abundant when the number of magazines and content was limited. Today, content is abundant and user attention scarce. Publishers struggling to work out how... http://www.minonline.com/minsiders/Domenic-Venuto/11158.html Mon, 1 Jun 2009 11:54:26 EDT
