Facebook (Stupidly) Takes the Heat from Moveon, while Yahoo and Ebay laugh to the bank!

So we all know about the Facebook Debacle with Beacon - and the horrible mistakes stupid 24 year olds make (We really do love you Mark Zuckerburg) it’s just that young kids shouldn’t be running $15 billion dollar businesses.

Moveon.org and the EFF have been decrying the privacy issues. As I’ve stated in a previous post, I think that behavioral targeting is inevitable and coming soon. In fact, I wasn’t happy that Mike Morgan from Tacoda was being apologetic about it.

Beware!!! Biased Companies “Research” Supports Product…Part 2 - Pay-Per-Call?? The Click Fraud Solution???

I was going to do a post on Yahoo’ s smartads press releases, as well as the Atlas’s Research that conveniently came up right beforehand. Hmm… both services not in as much in the SEM field as much as in the…. you got it - banner and rich media advertising… Hmmm correlation?

(Unfortunately, that idea seems to have fallen flat. The sad part is, that although the concept was a good one - someone in PR at Yahoo just doesn’t know how to promote it. It will remain a little gold mine for the marketer that cares.)

How to Leave your Job Amicably… and get Great References!

So I’d been quietly looking for a new job. I’ve been unhappy with the business vision of my Companies management for a while… and was looking around for a new position. So I finally found a phenomenal opportunity for myself.

    My dream has been to quit the company, and leave them hanging in the dust for someone to fulfill my responsibilities. They do this to employees they don’t like, they take advantage of the California “at-will” employee contract – pretty meanly. A couple of my colleagues that ran on the bad side of management got the “bye bye don’t come back tomorrow message”. To me, that is very disrespectful, and I’d been dreaming of doing the same thing back to them.
