Hello everyone, my name is John Wall and this is where I write about Marketing and whatever else I find interesting (your mileage may vary). I also have a weekly podcast called The M Show which is great for your commute to work (or even if you don't commute). You can also listen to Marketing Over Coffee, a podcast I do with Christopher Penn. BTW, I don't look this good, I have a great photographer. I can be reached at: john at themshow dot com

Can you skip the chasm?

So yesterday I was saying that I thought the newest Palm hardware was a waste of time. Over on engadget a lot of people were saying the same type of thing. If you don’t have the backstory - they are selling a mini laptop, it connects to the phone and you get web, email and […]

Virtual Yard Sale

The purchase and sale agreement has been signed so it looks like we are off to a new home! I’ve already begun going through stuff to try and ease the move, and I thought it would be fun to throw my own virtual yard sale. Actually the stuff is on eBay, but I thought it […]

It’s not about the hardware

Palm announced a new device today. I have been a devoted Palm user since my 1000, back in the day when they were called palmPilots and were owned by US Robotics (there’s some geek street cred for you beyatch).
My only thought on this is that it’s not about the hardware. Instant on is pretty cool […]

More Data than Ability

So I’m trying to put together my thoughts about a rampant problem. I keep running into situations where organizations have more data than they can possibly handle, and systems that are built to handle that data, but not the human capital to build and maintain the systems around them.
This started with my Mother’s day rant, […]

Long Weekend and Apple TV

Just relaxing at home for the long weekend and I picked up an Apple TV with some gift cards I had lying around. It’s great just to have access to the iTunes playlists and let it grab photos off of the PC that are normally buried and forgotten. It’s like having a 37in digital picture […]

24 on iTunes Finished, Now Addicted to Heroes

SPOILERS AHEAD!
So I just finished the last episode of 24. I’ve been getting them on iTunes and then setting my iPod on the treadmill rack at the gym to make the time go by faster. It’s been almost perfect, all I need is a bigger screen. I’ve got my fingers crossed that there will be […]

Still off the grid

Home inspection tomorrow so things are still moving. Some quick things you may be interested in:
Google is cracking down on search arbitrage
I was unable to hit the WebInno event yesterday so I’m looking for a good writeup on what I missed.
Some rumors about Google acquiring Salesforce.com but I think those are just rumors.
A new Marketing […]

Off the Grid

I haven’t posted and in a rare occurance The M Show is a day late. All for good reason - we have another offer in on a house (4th time’s a charm?).
I did get to run the camera through its paces at Hermosa Beach:

(I do have a guy picture over there too…)

Advanced Kung-Fu Blog Techniques

Eric Schwartzman, Sam Whitmore and Jason Calacanis
Jason Calacanis delivered a great lunch keynote today. I enjoy the mix of straight talk mixed and the understanding of showmanship. I had a brain buster today when everything snapped into focus - he mentioned that you should keep watching his blog for something big regarding the death of […]

Google to buy Feedburner?

Dan York passed on an interesting rumor.
