Kentucky Grilled Chicken? »

Kentucky Grilled Chicken? Really?
OK, so you’ve got our attention. Free coupons downloadable on Oprah.com
But long term?
Moving to KFC seemed to work for a while. Made us forget what we were really eating–and then the nostalgia of the bucket kicked in… But it seems to me that if you’re going to go all healthy on us [...]

You know I loved David Meerman Scott’s World Wide Rave, but I never did get around to checking out the whole Matt dancing gum thing he wrote about until one of the winners of the book, Corinne Lor, reminded me to check it out.

Don’t Turn to Page 14! Andy Nulman Gives Readers a Pow! Right Between the Eyes! »

I gotta say, page 14 was my favorite page. OK, 15 wasn’t too shabby either. Just ’cause it was so unexpected. Now I’ve gone and spoiled it, so please, don’t tell Andy, and do act surprised.
Andy knew the bar was high on this book and I gotta say, he, what’s that cliche again?, surpassed [...]

Would You Go on Reality TV? »

Would you go on Reality TV?
I asked this question recently on a social networking site because I was curious about what lengths business people would go to step into the spotlight and promote their businesses. So I asked ‘em. The most common response was a resounding “No!”. Yet one respondent told me she not only [...]
