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.

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.
