Twitter. What do Microsoft and Facebook have in common? When I think about these two companies I have a hard time figuring out what that one thing is that they do better than anyone else. Microsoft got to where it is today largely from its efforts with leading the Windows OS revolution. This spilled over [...]
Apple is the most innovative company in the world. They have successfully launched product after product, moved into a number of different markets, and have done so with a passion that is simply unparalleled. They are a company you can learn so much from especially when it comes to marketing. As Guy Kawasaki so eloquently [...]
There is a ton of chatter out there about Apple’s new iTunes Logo and not all of it is good. It seems that there are a lot of iTunes fans that feel like the new logo either sucks or is “irrelevant.” What do you think? Has Steve and Apple’s designer made another major misstep? Why [...]
