Influence Marketing? Vertical Networks’ Opportunity, Recession Marketing Jitters
Holidays – albeit short ones – are good times to catch up on your reading – and if you did not, well, I did it for you and found a couple good reads you might enjoy. 1. A really good string of discussions (studies, articles & commentaries) on the myths and realities of viral marketing […]
News Bytes: Online Magazine Brands, How Men Shop
Where the Boys Are in the Mall? (no, this is not geo-location for teenage girls) the answer… not where you might assume, according to a recent Harris Interactive study commissioned by Men’s Health magazine.

Don’t hate me because I have a closet full of swag – I worked really hard to get all this free stuff.
A lot of people are ticked off about the recent New York Times article about beauty Bloggers getting gratis beauty products. Jezebel and Gawker, self-proclaimed media experts, said:“disgraceful and foul that so many women would be so gaily complicit in the efforts of the large cosmetics companies to ever-fatten the profit margins gleaned by milking […]
