Posted by Paddy_MooganContent marketing is hard. The problem is that the process looks easy. You brainstorm some ideas, choose one that you like, design and build it, do some outreach and you get traffic, links and social shares. Job done. It's a bit like link building, where someone may say, "Just build great content and the links will come." Unfortunately, it's very rarely that straightforward. Yes, sometimes you can get lucky and something will fly with little effort. But anyone that says that content ma... →

Enormous tech M&A deals have been announced recently: EMC/Dell, WDC/SanDisk, Lam-Research/KLC-Tencor. These follow a very busy year of large tech M&A, with Avago/Broadcom, Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent and Intel/Altera. This year is shaping up to be a record one for M&A activity across all industries. However, with the large number of multi-billion dollar mergers, there is a nagging… Read More... →

With the Samsung Gear VR hitting shelves and faces all over the place last week, the company ran a new commercial to promote it this weekend. I saw it during the 49ers vs. Seahawks game. It’s. Surprisingly. Good. After speaking with some folks in the virtual reality community after Gear VR’s launch, it seems like Samsung has positioned its phone accessory nicely. The commercial is… Read More... →

GUEST: Working with interns and recent graduates over the years, I’ve noticed that while traditional computer science programs produce students who understand algorithms and data structures, they are less successful at generating graduates who are ready to develop production code.

I’m not much of a designer. In fact, I’m awful at it. I am, however, interested in how it’s done. I read and write plenty about customer success; along the way, (somehow) I found Samuel Hulick’s site UserOnboard. His detailed descriptions of the user onboarding process in popular apps give designers an idea about how some of the most successful apps in the world keep… Read More... →

GUEST: One of my frustrations in working with marketing professionals is how often they say “tactical” like it’s a dirty word. I understand where it’s coming from. It’s not easy to make your way to the C-suite much less keep yourself there. It’s a complicated job even before you consider pressure from shareholders, colleagues and the […]... →

GUEST: Talk about new technology making a splash. This eye-opening idea – replacing live SeaWorld shows with virtual ones – was one of hundreds offered via a crowd-sourced brainstorm session my company recently commissioned. We were tapping into the collective imagination for what virtual reality (VR) might have in store. How far away is this sort […]... →

GUEST: We’ve heard a lot of talk recently about the dangers of artificial intelligence. From Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates, to Elon Musk, and Steve Wozniak, luminaries around the globe have been sounding the alarm, warning that we could lose control over this powerful technology —  after all, AI is about creating systems that have minds […]... →

GUEST: In five years, we will no longer talk about crowdfunding versus traditional funding — it will all just be “funding.” Crowdfunding will be treated as a regular part of the private capital markets because it will co-exist with angel, VC, and private equity funding; it will also incorporate some of their their technologies and best […]... →

Over the past several months, a handful of on-demand startups reclassified their independent contractors as employees. Others have publicly acknowledged they’re considering the same move, and have been hailed as the “next generation” of the sharing economy: one that takes care of its workers. Meanwhile, established companies like Uber, Upwork (Elance-Odesk), LiveOps and even… Read More... →
