Roundtrip Revenue:  Probably, Just Do It.

Roundtrip Revenue: Probably, Just Do It.

By Jason M. Lemkin on February 4, 2015

If you’ve been around since the Web 1.0 days, a certain phrase may send shivers up your spine — “Roundtrip Revenue.”  People went to jail at AOL for this, folks, overstating revenue by as much as $1 billion that wasn’t really real.  It was just matched against AOL purchases, making the revenues in essence nonexistent.

The secret to success for Social Media? It's 1.0

The secret to success for Social Media? It’s 1.0

By Martijn Linssen on March 26, 2011

In the Search for Social as I call it, people have been mesmerising, stating and claiming success for the Social Movement in various ways.

Corporate Reputation, Privacy and the CEO of Google

By Dan Morrill on December 11, 2009

You have nothing to hide if you are doing nothing wrong; it is a scary thought because we all have things we don’t want other people to know about. There is a line between public knowledge that we share on Facebook, Likaholix, Posterous, MySpace and the tons of other places where we leave our digital […]

Gmail Migration Tools Attack Inertia

Gmail Migration Tools Attack Inertia
