Yup. I consider Ryanair to be the most innovative airline in the world, and they have been for several years. Most other carriers are content with copying the business models that have succeeded earlier or elsewhere. Ryanair gets up every d

The US strikes me as having less aversion to financial risk than any other nation. It's how they get into trouble (economic downturn) but it's also how they pump out true innovation. The US also has an overall aversion towards the distribut

Uh, Bob, what happened? Executives at Google and Microsoft are delivering solutions to "remind" each other that they exist? I'm going to go back to some of your older blog posts to remind myself that you can add something to the conversatio

Just saw the Nike Chalkbot on the Versus coverage of the 2nd stage. Quite entirely on topic :) There are sections of the road made solid yellow with Livestrong logos and supporter messages. France and Lance may not love each other, but they

I have a buddy who lived in NYC for a decade. I was there for a visit a few years ago and asked him if he ever had any trouble, getting mugged or hassled, because he walked everywhere at every time of day. He replied with, "Meh. Criminals a

Couldn't agree more. The author appears unfamiliar with how Twitter actually works pragmatically. Anyone following more than 100-200 folks on Twitter is likely in the category of "Filthy Marketer." Anyone routinely posting more than 3-4 tim

I don't see how they could have done otherwise. They are delivering very little in the way of innovation and have no real focus as a business. From my angle their products are less impressive than their peers in each market segment, with th

Microsoft notified our company last Friday afternoon, and put a lot of hands on deck to address the issue with a couple big oil companies in downtown Calgary. Our shop is officially Internet Explorer on the desktop, but this event has resul
