Great Microsoft Commercial

Yes I’ve been sick. No I haven’t been taking enough time off. Yes I’m getting better. No I haven’t been posting on Ensight enough, okay?! ;-)
Here’s a great Microsoft commercial for LiveMeeting. I don’t often enjoy MS ad campaigns (there was one for Office 2003 I saw while I was in Redmond once that rocked, […]

Empty Inbox!

It’s been far too long since I had an empty inbox. I used to manage to do it weekly. But, since b5media launched, then one new book starting up and another being pitched and another finishing up I’ve got a bit too much on my plate.
If you feel you should have received an email from […]

Best Out-of-Office Replies

Haven’t posted a good humour post in a while. So, here you go!
1. I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Be prepared for my mood.
2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, […]

Blog Marketing Mailing

A reasonably large e-mail send just went out for Blog Marketing, primarily asking folk if they wanted to get review copies or whatnot. While we did prepare a “standard” press release, we also wrote this more “bloggy” one for bloggers.
Let me know what you think. It’s always interesting trying to balance between old PR methodologies […]

Press Release Distribution

My apologies to anyone who received a far-too “press releasy” email from my publisher today. It wasn’t meant to go out so soon, and definitely not the way it did. Sometimes even the most professional PR people with the best intentions slip up, and that’s what happened this time.
Rest assured that in spite of the […]

More Space Launches

It’s official… I’ve been published!
I have to say that driving home from the pick-up place with 20 copies of a book that I contributed to was mind-numbing, made me giddy and had me talking to myself all at the same time. Without a doubt, one of the best experiences of my life.

Chapter 1 of Blog Marketing Online

The near-final copy of Chapter 1 is now online!
I left out some of the stuff at the end (mainly because it’s “history of blogging” stuff, and not incredibly interesting to people who are already blogging). Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting shorter excerpts of the rest of the chapters.
If anyone wants to have […]

Maybe Not Going to BlogOn…

Everything for my trip on Sunday to BlogOn was nearly worked out, until this morning. When I found out airline prices had risen by nearly 1000$ (making my voucher for 800$ in travel useless) and not being able to find any hotels right now for less than 200$/night.
Still hanging on for a miracle, but as […]

Going to BlogOn Next Week

I’m heading to the hugely anticipated BlogOn event next week. It’s put on by Chris Shipley and crew, who also do the industry defining “DEMO” conference every year in Arizona. Chris only does huge conferences, and this one should be no exception.
I was hoping to speak, but timings simply didn’t work out. However I’ll be […]

Hotmail to Get a Revamp

Microsoft Weblog (disclaimer: this is a b5media blog) notes that Hotmail’s new rev, codenamed “Kahuna” is getting closer to being launched (”sometime next year”). It quotes PC World, which says:
The virus, phish detection and spam management tools will be housed in a new ‘InfoBar’, and the Calendar has a more Outlook-like feel. Microsoft has also […]
