POPSInternet, You're Blowing My Mind Is it ok to be obsessed with "listening in" on your customers' conversations?! I spend at least 2 per day checking the web for what my customers are thinking (at the moment).

POPSA Buzz is Worth a Thousand Words I strongly believe in this concept. However, I don't feel permanent will actually be that permanent. Heck, tattoos can be removed now : ) The tech company that comes up with a program or software that will allow us to get OFF the internet grid with a few clicks of a button (AND confirmation, of course) will be RICH someday!

POPSAnd I Never Watch This Show I love that we marketers find "marketing" in unexpected places. Personally, I have a bad habit of ruining reader and viewer pleasure among family and friends with my marketing observations. HOWEVER, this is short, sweet and clever.

POPSGeneration G - Can Business Genuinely Care Though, I'm a marketer, I have little faith that companies can truly 'Change' their ways of thinking. True customer focus is a far off fantasy land that seems to have left with the "barter system". We'll see...

POPSNOW We're Talking Technology 3 Words... I Want Them! Can someone tell me WHY it's taking so long for more companies to create fantabulous (Yes, it's a word!) gadgets such as these. There's plenty of function, plenty of form... now let's get to some FASHION

POPSDid You Remember The Bags? FINALLY, I've got enough canvas totes for any size trip to the grocery store. So, I feel I'm entitled to say BRAVO to Seattle for showing their city a little tough love... and, yet again, setting an example for the rest of the country. Will America EVER get a clue and catch up with the environmental pioneers? Now, if my husband and I could get into the habit of turning off the TV and computer at night... :(

ANYWAY, I clipped this because I loved the judges comment / question... destroying the very evidence that could have helped your case in court (when you were trying to hide your porn)... priceless!

POPSToys for My Last Clip I'm clapping again! Maybe there is hope for the children. If they can't enjoy their toys... they become menaces... in my humble opinion. I've noticed the cartoons are improving too! They're gross... but better than the 90s.

POPSLinkedIn and Trying to Reach 100 GOOD Contacts Slowly but surely, people are finding LinkedIn. However, I'm noticing more people joining, but may not be discriminating when it comes to their links. Hmmm... Are you willing to reach 100 contacts with random connections?
