I’m not a guy who’s big on predictions for the new year (and my sports prognostications are only mediocre), but I do enjoy reminiscing. So allow me, if you will, to wax poetic (sort of) on the year that has been and that wraps up in just a couple of hours.
As far as years […]

Some language prescriptivists (I’m usually not one of them) lament that we English speakers — particularly those of us in North America — thinking nothing of turning nouns into verbs, or “verbyifying.”

A little more than three days remain until we hold the inaugural CaseCamp Second Life in the Crayonville Amphitheatre.

I was one of 27 business communicators who took part in the monthly “Second Thurdsday in Second Life” meeting yesterday afternoon. We gathered at the Hipcast Expo Center, which is owned by Eric Rice, for a wide-ranging discussion.
Topics included Second Life media coverage — both inside Second Life and out — the recent rush of […]

At yesterday’s launch of crayon inside Second Life, president and founder Joseph Jaffe said his company wants to “use new marketing to prove new marketing.”
