“Sometimes these algorithms are laughably off. You’ll read the thing rated positive, and it’s clear to any person that it’s negative.”

“The aspect one cannot argue is nutrition: Incredibly, the McDonald’s product contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonald’s cheeseburger or Egg McMuffin. (Even without the brown sugar it has more calories than a McDonald’s hamburger.)”

“Vodka wants to go clubbing and hook up with Johnny Redbull, that hot guy she met last week (who’s not actually that hot and wears too much cologne). Gin wants to have dinner, a little wine and really talk about stuff, like politics and indie rock.”

“Companies often inflate their brands into elements of storytelling in an effort to engage the consumer in a dialogue about that story, rather than about the content of their product. “The Keebler elves were invented to stop people from thinking about where Keebler cookies were made and how… to protect the consumer from the reality of what it really is,” said Rushkoff.”

“In a letter to the N.C. State Bar’s Ethics Committee, the firm said it wanted to promote its “virtual law office” under Groupon’s terms but wanted to make sure that wouldn’t run afoul of any of the Bar’s ethical rules. It does, according to an Ethics Committee staff opinion. Although lawyers can spend money for advertising, Groupon is different - the company negotiates with each business on a case-by-case basis and its compensation is a percentage of the amount actually paid to the business. That would appear to constitute fee-sharing, the staff opinion says, a violation of Rule 5.4(a), which bars sharing legal fees with a non-lawyer. The N.C. State Bar’s Ethics Committee will consider this and other issues at its quarterly meeting Thursday in Raleigh.”

“Have no important friends and can’t afford to attend a social media conference? Just tweet about things you’ve read that were written by trending quasi-experts. For example: “Reading @nikiblack ’2011 Tech Trends for Lawyers’ http://bit.ly/gvULIh” The “real” social media experts like @chrisheuer, @briansolis and @shelisrael have been doing this crap since 2006, and some of the legal marketing gurus are about to catch on. Most of them are still unemployed and clientless, but online namedroppage will nonetheless constitute a paradigm shift for lawyers who discover the internet in 2011.”

“One distribution channel will most likely outweigh another – that’s fine. What isn’t fine is being able to answer yes to the question of: “If I lost distribution channel x, would my startup fail?””
