  • The Internet as a Teaching Tool…Why I use Mashable.com

    This week, I assigned my Promotional Communications students about 25 URLs to read or watch.

  • Best Positioning – “Old School” meets Web 2.0 or just Web 1.0?

    1960 meets 2010:  An old-school bar that worships JKF and all things Irish has a web page:  The Dubliner I’d gone to the web to verify if the Eddies, a local a cappella group, were truly going to play the Dubliner–a bar I’d always thought of as the local Irish dive that I’d driven by a thousand…
