It is almost the weekend, so here’s my final round-up of articles that caught my eye this week.<\/p>\n
Excellent advice from Dave Taylor at intuitive systems<\/a>: Why successful startups never outsource their business plan<\/a><\/p>\n FusionBrand: Branding’s Black Hole<\/a> This is a favorite topic of mind: measuring marketing and sales results. My previous comments here<\/a> and definitely expect more in the coming weeks. The issue of lead tracking and ROI has circled back into my radarscope this week for many reasons. <\/p>\n public(MIND)<\/a> — overall, an interesting blog by Hans Henrik H. Heming with a definite inclination toward issues surrounding creativity (and that’s not really the right word) but just check out his blog for a different perspective. Full disclosure: I’m also partial to Hans because he was one of the first readers to subscribe to my blog on Bloglines. Thanks Hans!!<\/p>\n Great post by Dan Gillmor: Where Newspapers can Start the Conversation<\/a>. Gives specific examples of how newspapers can do what I talk about in my earlier post<\/a> today: reach out and engage with their readers (customers).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is almost the weekend, so here’s my final round-up of articles that caught my eye this week.
