Untitled : The Retail DNA Test

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 00:20:04 +0000

Soon we will ask each othere whether you have analyzed your DNA. It would be a part of our nature. Learning DNA is about learning yourself. Everyone wants to build a healthy life and DNA analysis is the first big step

Qusai's Blog : Network effects in action ...

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 00:16:27 +0000

I do not think i-Phone users have limited access to chats. There are many applications available to download for free. You can chat in facebook, fring and etc.

Ruminations : Another bubble waiting to burst ?

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 00:10:06 +0000

It is good that such companies like Google were able to show how you can monetise social platforms. At least everyone understood that increasing traffic will be somehow converted into cash. Twitter is another example. I am sure they will come with something to justify all these investmentss.

Internet stories from Korea : New industry, old strategy

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 00:01:20 +0000

The nature of Korean economy dominated by conglomerates may limit the development of internet space. The infrastructure is there, but somehow you are right it limits entrepreneurial spirit.

Internet MKG 2009 : The future of our blogs

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 23:56:05 +0000

interesting comment. It was one of the reasons why I created the Emerging Markets blog hoping to keep bloging beyond our course. BTW, check my blog: http://kahramon.tumblr.com/

Internet Marketing : iPhone’s sales in Japan

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 23:52:31 +0000

I recall some of your depictions of girls using their phones as I paid attention to their behaviour. It would be very hard for Apple to convince that i-Phone will satisfy their basic needs. The users there are relatively more advanced and would not possibly tolerate i-Phone's bad battery and limited picture texting capabilities...

Michal Bohanes' blog : If I knew that, I wouldn't be here

Interesting post, Michal. I guess someone needs to provide an excuse for not being on top of his/her profession.

There will be always imperfections in the algorithms :), but someone needs to work on it.

Untitled : iPhone Rumours - iPhone 3.0 to Get MMS, Tethering, and Finally... Copy and Paste?

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 23:37:39 +0000

Interesting post. By being an i-Phone user I would be interested to learn about those features. It seems to me that there are not many features in i-Phone 3.0. Tethering is definitely necessary feature.

onehitamonth : The Subservient Chicken

Sun, 8 Mar 2009 23:45:58 +0000

Interesting post. Ad agencies need to catch the attention so they turn into chickens, gorillas...It is always a part of the game-being different. Sometimes it's hard to get some of ads. They are just nonsense, but this in fact captures your attention!

Untitled : New Search Ads from Yahoo

Sun, 8 Mar 2009 23:39:04 +0000

I agree with the previous post. Yahoo will move towards content and eventualy will link content with a related ad. It would be still hard to enrich content all the time. Goodle is about search effectiveness, it is another layer on top of content which we all find more useful as we live in the information age. Our intention is more about looking for info when we need.

Untitled : Android discussion continued

Sun, 8 Mar 2009 23:32:33 +0000

I believe that Apple still does a good job in ensuring min quality standards. Free apps on Android wihout any quality ensurance is a very weak point. The natural control mentinoned above is working well also, but the first test and review is important to increase/decrease the chances of success.

Untitled : Online Confessionals

Sun, 8 Mar 2009 23:26:26 +0000

Interesting to note how the net is becoming a powerful tool/platform for confessions. Monologue with secret content turns at least into dialog by putting things on the net.

Untitled : Time Machine - Google vs. Yahoo!

Sun, 8 Mar 2009 23:23:06 +0000

I agree with Chen. Yahoo provides a very good senopsis of news, markets and other stuff. Overtime the content changes to reflect the changing needs of people while Google is constantly working on search productivity. However, I was shocked about YouTube being a dating site :)

adnonsense : Putting things into perspective

Interesting post, Dan. We have been through worst days in our lives. Some of your past experiences reflect my history too. So heads up!

Polina's notes on Internet Marketing class : 4 Golden Rules of Blogging in IM Class

Sun, 8 Mar 2009 23:13:38 +0000

Interesting post. These notes are more related to our class though...I am trying to create more attention from outside. I have not managed so far, but I am working on it. Any other hints how to capture the attention of other people outside our class?

Untitled : Will Central and Eastern Europe survive the crisis?

Sun, 8 Mar 2009 22:16:54 +0000

I agree with you and that's why G20 meeting is coming up in April. The only scepticism regarding the meeting-to what extent it will be practical and effective rather than political.

Untitled : "Recession this year, stagnation next year...and slow recovery in 2011"

Sun, 1 Mar 2009 23:50:22 +0000

Good point, Brett. The definitions vary, but in most instances Morgan Stanley's definition is used in business practice.

Untitled : Viral marketing- Shorter Product life cycles to prevent price erosion

Sun, 1 Mar 2009 23:43:00 +0000

Interesting post...One element I would like to add to your list. The campaign needs to be drastically different or unique to capture the attention of audience.

In-For-Marketing : How to advertise LBS as No.1 B-School on the net

Sun, 1 Mar 2009 23:37:42 +0000

I partly agree with Hakeem in terms of the final product-alums. They need to do a good job in reaching excellent positions so businesses start talking about LBS as standard of quality and aspiration. It will take time, but LBS is in the right direction. It focuses on quality of students and faculty. It ultimately produces business leaders about whom the business community should be talking about.
