There seems to be a lot of media around why Facebook is so popular. After all, its entire design concept is similar (in some ways) to that of MySpace. I asked some co-workers why they enjoyed Facebook. If they where able to produce an answer at all it was along the lines of social networking [...]

Interactive Marketing: Toshiba Site Review
In my attempt to stay on-top of all that is technology, I came across a site created by computer manufacturer Toshiba. It is definitely not what I expected from site marketing computer products to customers. It is the definition of interactive marketing and integrating the customer’s demographics into its advertising attempts. It is a great [...]
Broad Utopia Development
I was doing some research on marketing design and website portals and I came across a site titled “Broad Utopia Development”. It is a company who specializes in brand development and marketing.

The “Zero Movement”
I can’t help but noticing the Coca-Cola Zero advertisements posted absolutely everywhere. Everywhere I turn there is a Coke Zero advertisement, from posters & magazine ads to TV commercials and T-shirts. In typical Coke manner an $18 million year-long marketing campaign has been launched to support the product. Coke has a long history of launching [...]
Sarah Silverman….
Boundaries, ethics & morals, personal space, and taboos. These are all concepts that seem lost to Sarah Silverman, and for good measure. Put aside for a second that she is absolutely gorgeous, the comedian/actress has developed some of the freshest and most innovative material that the comedy world has seen for some time. Her comments [...]
Quite the Perspective…
For a unique view on contemporary society, one should look no further then the Max Mitchell Perspective.
