Classic New Media Business Model

Classic new media business model: offering every service we don't have a name for, so you can't judge the quality of my work.

The Client Didn’t Specify

"The client didn't specify" = "Finally we can do crap and it's the client's fault"

Slow (Terrible) Nexus One Sales

With an estimated number of 20 000 units sold in its first week, the Nexus One sales are a bit disappointing

It Was A Pretty Good Idea

The creativity process can't go through bureaucracy: great ideas get stuck in the never-ending bureaucracy vortex

Pissing People Off

Changing things and/or trying to make a difference means pissing at least someone off. It's not a bad thing.

Mobile Is Going To Be Huge (We Get It)

About "Mobile is going to be huge": please stop, we get it. Every single year represent big step forward for the mobile industry.

What People Care About

People care about what cares about them and yes, that includes businesses and products.

Don’t Work Hard, Work Smart

I seriously hate that quote: don't work hard, work smart. Nobody considered doing both?

Welcome To The Web

Welcome to the Web: we're sorry, we don't read here. We scan. That's the hard truth about the Web.

Very often (social media being a good example), a lot of effort is put into mastering the tools rather than timeless principles.

Principles can be applied to any tool.

Tools change and can be replaced easily.
