kate campbell: “i generally believe most of life is living with loss”

words in edgeways with kate campbell Drawing deep from the well of Southern culture and history, Mississippi-raised Kate Campbell’s warm, wry and incisive songs tell vivid stories rooted in the past and present of her native South.

Let Crowdsourcing Do Your Marketing Research And Development

Let Crowdsourcing Do Your Marketing Research And Development November 20, 2008 6:40 AM Posted by Mitch Joel What if you took everything you had and made it publicly available on the Internet?

It sounds a little insane. Welcome to crowdsourcing. "For the last decade or so, companies have been loo

Surreal times?

That was a little out of left-field, eh? Was it a clever PR stunt yesterday by SolarWorld to say that it is planning a bid for Opel's German facilities or is it really serious? Before we all laugh it off as a cheeky stunt, let's just reflect on how desperate for cash certain companies are. GM is to sell a 3% stake in Suzuki to raise a bit over $200m. SolarWorld is talking about a billion euros for four factories, the products produced (royalties and rights would surely be negotiable) and Russle

New Music: Ace Hood- “Call Me” (Feat. Lloyd)

Move over Plies, Ace Hood is here. His debut album, Gutta, hit stores this past Tuesday, and many hip-hop fans are raving. With an average iTunes rating of 4.5 stars, this record is bound to make some big moves over the next few months. I can see why you’d say Ace Hood isn’t a good rapper. After all, he hasn’t developed much of an individualistic personality. He seems to fit the southern rapper mold — sultry R&B hooks, songs ideal for ringtone distribution, and freestyles that are as

Ne-Yo Schenkerian

When I wrote about Ne-Yo’s “Miss Independent” last week, I mostly wanted to talk about timbre — the effervesynths that seem to give it so much of its tingly, zeitgeisty affect. But I did find myself discussing things like form and rhythm and harmony too. Actually, I pretty much passed on any real harmonic analysis, as a quick ear’s glance suggested to me that the surface simplicity of the song (I called it a “two/three-chord” progression) betrayed a much more complicated — and in some ways no

Solarworld plans to bid for Opel

Opel’s plea for financial help took a bizarre turn on Wednesday when Solarworld, the German solar energy company, announced it was prepared to buy the ailing carmakers’ German operations. In a move that was dismissed as unrealistic by analysts, Solarworld said it wanted to bid €1bn for Opel’s four German plants and its R&D centre....

Enterprise 2.0 - A new Age of Aquarius?

It’s two weeks after the event, but here are my slides and notes from my presentation at Edge of the Web. Apologies for the delay. To those for whom some of this looks familiar, it shares an amount of common content with my recent paper at the BTELL EA conference. The audiences were very different, so the common content wasn’t an issue. I actually think this version is a little clearer and more succinct (for a very loose definition of succinct). Enterprise 2.0 - A new Age of Aquarius? View Sli

TechED US and PDC in LA again!

So its already been announced that TechED US will be in LA (where I happen to live :)) in May, and PDC again in November.  Shannon and I couldn't be happier. I did here a lot of complaints though from people who feel like Downtown LA is kind of boring in the evenings.  And well - I can't really argue there,  there isn't that much going on.  Three tips for those of you coming to either event in 2009:   1) Leave Downtown!  I know cabs are expensive - but the Metro line goes to Hollyw
