With the imminent arrival of the Thanksgiving Weekend (it’s Wednesday morning? ever notice how these holiday things are now creeping into the day before as well as the day after??) I’ve got to focus more on the 12 people I’m cooking dinner for tomorrow and less on the business of PR.
A few things are percolating and might come to a boil over the weekend so I’ll be sure to shout it out from the rooftops if they do.
Otherwise, Happy Turkey Day and I’ll see you all on the other side….

“When was the last time you saw a thirty second spot from jetBlue?”
“Um.. this morning.. here.”
They are pretty funny. So even if my favorite airline is succumbing to the lure of traditional marketing, I can forgive them.

I can’t argue with Shel Israel when he say’s the City by the Bay is the Mecca for tech. But I’ll take issue with his argument that for tech, San Francisco is The Only Place To Be(tm).
We may not have the parties and the meet ups, but we have some pretty cool companies, like Indeed and Kayak – both within a half hour drive of where I sit now. PubSub’s down in the Big Apple. Solution Watch keeps tabs on the tech scene from New Fairfield, CT – former home base for BackBeat Media which has since relocated to that hotbed of Web 2.0, Durham, NH.
I could go on, but us East Coast tech geeks are too busy to brag….

I envision a particularly gruesome circle of Hell for the CEOs who’s ‘visionary leadership’ and ‘foresight’ gave them the ability to be in the midst of a trend years before anyone else.
I’m referring of course to the CEOs who, in 1998, made you add in their bios that they were e-commerce visionaries (ugh, that word again, twice in one entry!) five years before the Internet opened up to e-commerce. At one agency I worked at in the mid-1990s, we had a client who was apparently designing interactive CD-ROMs ten years before they were even on the market.
Go figure.
So this morning, O’Reilly Rader’s Marc Hedlund reports the receipt of a PR missive about a CEO who’s been thinking about Web 2.0 for more than ten years.
Wow. So not impressed.
