Microsoft IE9 Ads Ruined by Post-Production Issues
Microsoft’s latest Internet Explorer 9 ad is actually pretty good. Unfortunately, whoever did the post-production in it for airing on TV, screwed it up completely. I’m referring to this ad, which you can watch on YouTube. Looks great, right? Now, watch it on TV. The television release of the same exact ad, which has been [...]
Eating Dogfood is Good Customer Service
One of the reasons PhoneNews.com has managed to roll with the punches all these years, and stay so relevant in the mobile sphere, is actually pretty simple. We eat the same dog food that the average consumer puts up with. I’ll let you in on a little secret… most of the mobile media doesn’t have [...]
Why WordPress Multisite is Critical for Surviving a Social Search Era
If you’re an online publisher, and you use WordPress, the time to get used to WordPress Multisite is now. Right now. As you may have noticed, Google is now employing social search. It’s what you might say a “hot button issue” in the online community. Why? Too many reasons to list here. Essentially, those that [...]
Happy Oppose SOPA & PIPA Day!
Okay, maybe that was a bit too tongue-in-cheek for a title related to something so serious. So, perhaps the next sentence of this article should start with the word seriously. Seriously, go oppose SOPA & PIPA. As you may know, I typically don’t echo what was just written on PhoneNews.com over here. But today’s an [...]
On The Loss of KGO Radio
At the end of last week, KGO Radio announced they were terminating most of their on-air personalities. A few great voices like Dr. Bill Wattenburg are now off the air. Dr. Bill alone has been on KGO for four decades. That makes my career seem minute in comparison. The nice thing about KGO was that [...]
New Feed URL
I’ve moved away from Google FeedBurner. So, it’s time to update your feed URL. If your feed URL is http://www.christopherprice.net/feed/ then you’re all set. If not, you need to update to that URL. I’ll keep the old FeedBurner setup working, but you may be delayed by as much as several hours to get news. Yeah, [...]
On CBS, Debates, and Transparency
Oh no, a blog post from Christopher about politics? Relax, this is about the media… I’m just going to use the most recent GOP Presidential Debate as a case-in-point. CBS News made a big blunder by hiding a key rule of the debate; people who were tanking in the polls, were going to be given [...]
On Trashing Old Content
For a long time, I’ve been a strong advocate in keeping old content alive. Over on PhoneNews.com, you can see some really old articles. They may not be the best journalism out there, and they certainly would bring a grimace to anyone writing a proper grammatical guide. There are even posts out on the web [...]
Google Shuffles Have Consequences
I’ve been going to CTIA Wireless Expo for many years now. This will be the first year since I started attending that PhoneNews.com does will have any presence at the show. And, as you may have noted, PhoneNews.com will be suspending the display of advertisements from Google AdSense. We took a careful look at CTIA [...]
Moving Away from Twitter Blogging
As you may have noticed, I’ve been doing most of my blogging on Twitter these days. Like many, I like how Twitter allows for acceptably-compressed postings. Posting 140 characters as a blog post is too small for most people to find adequate. This is largely because of how long it takes to pull up a [...]
