Not just saying they do SEO (and get their clients banned like BMW, JCPENNY and a few others that were handed off from their respective Advertising Agencies) this is perhaps the first time that Advertising Agencies are doing more than just window dressing and seriously taking note at SEO as part of their business model.

Good job McCann, you are finally getting your act together.

Little commented: “The completion of this deal significantly enhances our SEO offering and makes our overall integrated digital offering incredibly strong. We’ve been wanting to grow our SEO offering for some time and we’ve been looking for a potential partner for well over a year. I’m delighted to be able to welcome Neil and the Lakestar team into the McCann group of companies and believe the acquisition represents an incredibly exciting opportunity for our clients.

Gustavo Martinez, president of McCann Worldgroup Europe, concluded: “The successful conclusion of this acquisition further strengthens an already powerful digital offering from McCann in the UK. By acquiring an SEO specialist of this scale and experience it means our UK operations can offer clients operating nationally and internationally a truly integrated digital solution. We believe this acquisition has the potential to drive further digital growth in the UK and potentially beyond.”

From the Drum
Disclaimer : We’ve been approached by a company affiliated with McCann Worldwide within the past year. We didn’t like the offer and deal fell though.

Well now you have a new number you can give him… and with the added rejection of being dumped by Siri… a robot.. not even human.

(561) 247-3411

The Palm Beach phone number is now set to dump anyone that calls it in Siri’s voice… you can text to it as well as it will be met with silence.

That’s the number, have a blast with it :)

Call it if you want to see what happens…. it’s almost funny if you are on the receiving end… but for the person handing it out… it’s awesome…

Evidently, My kickstarter project will fail because my parents immigrated to the USA from Lebanon.

My reply:

Slack, I was born in the United States, I live in the United States, I don’t even speak Arabic… I hope it’s not a factor that my kickstarter project will fail simply because my parents immigrated to the United States from Lebanon in the 1970′s.

If that’s the case, the reason people won’t back my project is judged solely because of my last name… then this country is in far worse shape than I can even imagine. I hope in spite of that reasoning it succeeds.

Please prove these people wrong. to back the project

It’s a simple game, where people bomb their friends using their mobile and their GPS. What I noticed was that the majority of the early backers had an advertising background. It might be because it’s the circle I generally trend in online, but also because advertisers are seeing some serious value with the concept of being able to tell Dunkin Donuts that they have 27 potential customers at this exact moment are within 800 feet of their location at 1st and Main Street.

Advertisers would pay big money for that information, and the company that comes up with this now in a gaming format would be the one that would monetize mobile, without taking one penny from selling an app.

Facebook said they need to focus on mobile. So Mark, you want to help and back the project? We’ll most likely be using Facebook Connect :)

Evidently the coolest video game ever might be created with some KickStarter Backing! The project is viewable here is a GPS powered real time real life video game.

RTRLVG — it’s perhaps the first real time real life video game.

the project is asking for minimal funding (only 5 grand total!) to build the real life real time video game. Already after only a few hours there are several backers.

The mobile GPS enabled video bombing game has a simple but fun gameplay. Most likely it will be the next big thing in Mobile Gaming, and mobile advertising.

I suggest you guys back the project as you will get insight into how the game works prior to the general population.

Enjoy!

This is a sad day for Pottsville PA because that is where I bought my lottery tickets.

A sign hangs on the window saying “closed for the summer” just a few days ago that sign said “closed till May 12th”

We wish Keith all the best because I personally know him and do like the guy. This is not a good day for anyone.

So much for the big 1990′s replay of a new .com era. Facebook’s hyped up IPO skyrocketed 10% then crashed to IPO open level within 45 minutes.

In the 1990′s it was almost expected for shares of a .com or social media company of that era to double, or even triple on IPO day. In this case the IPO opened, shot up 10% then crashed to it’s offering level.

This put many people on guard as it was expected to skyrocket at least longer than 45 minutes.

Enjoy the new reality, launching an IPO, even one as big as Facebook’s during a terrible economy. Perhaps they overpaid for Instagram, maybe they overpaid for a plethoria of startups… but most likely the problem with facebook is that no one on that site clicks on advertising.

In fact the next startup that will most likely go though the roof will be the one that figures out how to advertise properly on the internet or mobile (most likely both with a decent tilt to mobile).

Google got that partially right, and it’s valuation reflects it. Facebook doesn’t get mobile, nor does Microsoft or any of the other players. So there you have it people, the next big thing will be mobile advertising… and figure a way to get people to click and buy from advertisers.

It’s a problem that has been plaguing the internet startup world for 2 decades, and it’s a huge problem that might or might not be solved in short order, the problem is however *most of the online world* is driven by advertising… and if people don’t willfully click in good faith to learn more about a product then even if there are 900 million people online.. you’re still not going to make enough money.

Next Time Mitt Romney when you register your VP’s domain name.. make it private…

We found a tidbit of information regarding a specific domain name that was registered to the Mitt Romney campaign initially as non-private… then they went private a few hours later after they discovered the problem.

We have a screenshot.

So come clean Mitt or we’re posting.

The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and a top FTC staffer traded emails in 2010 about whether Facebook and other tech companies were secretly funding a nonprofit group pushing hard for regulators to investigate Google Inc.

The messages, revealed in internal emails recently obtained by The Washington Times through the Freedom of Information Act, were exchanged as the FTC was being asked by the California-based group Consumer Watchdog to investigate Google’s “Street View” mapping project. The project came under scrutiny after Google said it had mistakenly harvested personal data from homeowners’ unsecured wireless networks..

The FTC correspondence centered on a May 18, 2010, report by the Wall Street Journal, “FTC Likely to Examine Google’s Wireless Gaffe,” which noted how Consumer Watchdog called on the FTC to launch a probe. The article prompted Cecelia Prewett, director of the FTC’s public affairs office, to send an email to colleagues asking, “Who’s feeding him?”

The North Korean rocket failed 81 seconds after launch, roughly the same amount of time it takes the Boeing Missile Defense System to damage an inflight rocket. Boeing published the outcome here. On Feb. 11, 2010, Boeing, industry teammates and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency successfully demonstrated the speed, precision and breakthrough potential of directed-energy weapons when the Airborne Laser Test Bed engaged and destroyed a boosting ballistic missile.

Reports are that it was roughly a minute and a half before the ICBM was destroyed, the North Korean rocket was destroyed in a similar timeframe.

This is unconfirmed, but from what we understand the Laser shoot down was selected because North Korea (or none of the other countries for that matter) were able to detect a laser shot, so the US was able to do this making the North Koreans look at their rocket as a failure. We want to stress that this currently is speculation, but the time-frames do match in terms of time to launch to missile destruction both run at approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes of a sustained laser attack from the Boeing system. This most likely will lead the North Koreans in a long study that will delay their missile program trying to figure out what broke on their rocket, when in fact nothing broke on their side, it was shot down.

Already speculation is that the next attempt will be covered with a mirror like substance to reflect any laser attack.

Story Developing.
