DISQUS

A stark contrast to busy days at the parks at closing time when they cram as many people as possible onto those things. I have almost fallen asleep laying on the pavement before waiting for the 5th bus to come back at midnight during extra magic hours.

How can you call this a Kukral puppet with no guy lights ?

Looks awesome. I am pretty stoked as well for Summit in Boston. I'm glad that it worked out that there was a game in town at least one of the nights.

The location is also perfect because the boat for the soon to be announced "CAMA Cruise" is docked right outside the hotel.

Nice pick :)

wow Shawn... if you post Davey and Goliath videos on your blog... you might be a Lutheran ;)

I have to agree - banners have been dead for a long time and it's time to get interactive if you really want to make money doing this.

Video lets you really connect with your audience and lets them experience so much more of the product or service you are promoting than even a written review .

On the mobile marketing side, as long as you get permission and are not abusive, go for it. If your product or service appeals to a mobile/text friendly audience, you'd be crazy not to.

I just posted an interview from Summit with Joel Comm on www.textcastlive.com that is essentially like aWeber for mobile marketers.

I'm testing it this week on some of my own.

Great info Shawn... thanks for posting.

I don't want to dive too deep into this thing, but a couple of facts jump out.

PJN is a direct (new, but direct) competitor to CJ

PJN's feature set is a reaction to CJ short comings.

PJ is/or was a preferred provider with CJ

PJN is now competing with CJ as a network platform.

I'm not saying the way CJ handled it (cold calls to PJ's clients with threats) is the way that I'd like to see business done, but is it really a surprise that this became an issue?

Back in about 2002 when I was with Team Affiliate at Kowabunga, we had Linkshare and CJ merchants asking us to run their programs for them in their existing networks. CJ and Linkshare came down on that idea with their clients right away... a division of another software provider or network having access to their affiliates and their tools... no thanks.

Seems similar to me.

I can see a bit of both sides of this, but I can't see where PJ should be completely surprised by the action.

In terms of it's threat to the livelihood of the large aff manager team at PJ, I can feel for Kris - that is a big weight to have on your shoulders.

Nicely done... nice to see Sam sharing his passion for the brew with us.

I look forward to exploring the beers in Vegas with Sam at Summit.

Man.. I just had a flashback to a Blackadder episode where his puritan aunt and uncle were visiting to talk in heritance at the same time Blackadder was having a party where everyone was wearing a set of "large comedy breasts"

I'll never be able to look at you the same man.

Congrats on your "retirement"

Great find Shawn and grat original post Jason.

Info like this is what needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

Thanks for writing it up :)

Nice hire Anik - Rach is top notch and will do a great job with your organization.

Go Rach :)
