Budgets are shrinking. Resources are tight or shrinking. In a recent post, I discussed how ideas that I had been a proponent of for 2-3 years suddenly became extremely valuable to companies during the downturn of 2001-2003.
This downturn is a different beast. This means that you will need more than basic technical smarts to get [...]

BuzzLogic releases their conversational ad service.
The Inquisitr moves from AdSense to Technorati Media, indicating a potential shift at b5 Media.

Lately, there have been outages for two large sites: Amazon and Facebook. Working for a company that monitors such things made me able to confirm the nature of the outages.  But how I became aware of them has had me thinking in new ways for the last few weeks.
