Email Marketing: A pillar in the foundation of social media, a 43-to-1 ROI channel, a conversion heavy interactive medium, and the reason this blog is here.
After watching this video I’m convinced that there’s more people out there that want to mean something to this planet rather than be something. When we return to the dust we’ve come from, what is it we’re going to leave behind? Living a life of solitude and selfishness is far from what we’ve been created for. Religion or not this guys making a difference – globally. Well done, Mr. Harrison.

I love infographics as much as the next geek, but an infographic on Google’s 2011 revenue is a must have. Check out this infographic created via Wordstream at http://www.webanalyticsworld.net/2012/01/how-does-google-make-money-2011-revenue-infographic.html
Umair Haque has just graced me with a relevant post from the Harvard Business Review that struck me on a personal note. My career as well as my time here as a citizen of our wonderful planet has been scrutinized lately. I personally have been challenging myself to question actions, motives, commitment, and direction of what I do in tandem with the perception of success. We’ve been told as Americans that success is amassed through different financial or tangible additions to our lives – when really it’s up to us individually to decide what measures our success. As people we all are equipped with different levels of skills and traits that will never fit into the molds of a societal projection. Without exploration into who and what we are, we’ll always question ourselves.
Here’s a link to one of his latest posts that rang true for me – http://blogs.hbr.org/haque/2011/12/mastering_the_art_of_living_me.html
Explore what makes you think of success outside of what you’re told is successful. If money and fame was not an option – what’s next?
This is a great perspective of SEO, as Google changes their direction with how their algorithms work and are influenced. Well done SEOmoz and Wil Reynolds.

I have two questions for you all:
How do you think this will affect the usage of HTML5 in email marketing for delivering video?
How do you feel about the way Adobe handled all of the comments on the post? (I didn’t see any replies to 100′s of comments and the comments are now shut off)
