“Karen” wants her privacy. Come to think of it, so does “Ken.” I like this commercial because it is awkward. For me, peak awkward happens when the coworkers speak in emoji. “Read heart emoji. Blue heart emoji. Puke emoji!” The spot offers the technorati a funny takedown of the quantified life and a well-earned poke […]

I asked Darby to turn off her Slack notifications earlier this summer. The constant pinging from her office was driving me slightly mad. As with any new tech, it’s how you choose to use it. Thankfully, Slack has many customization settings and a bevy of How-To videos to dive into for new users. Slack also […]

Make the technology easy to use, or lose people, lose elections, lose money, and lose your shit. E-TRADE understands. This is the kind of customer-focused copy I can get behind: You should be mad that they gave this guy a promotion. You should be made at forced camaraderie. You should be mad at tech that […]
Are today’s technology titans the new monopolies? Do the filthy rich executives say one thing and do another? Or are Silicon Valley and its satellite cities (like Austin) geek utopias where abundance is the rule? When evaluating the titan’s there are many angles to take from the customer’s perspective, privacy invasion being foremost among them. […]

When you’re in the middle of a job search, people can be so helpful. A friend or family member might innocently and genuinely offer, “Hey, have you tried Indeed?” For the job seeker, it’s the kind of question that can make one want to sink deep into a tub. “Yes, thanks friend. My resume is […]

I first made my way to South By Southwest in March of 2003. The conference, the city of Austin, and the creative industries have all changed considerably since then. It was just 16.5 years ago, but in our accelerated, digitally-disrupted world things happen fast. To make my point even clearer, when I first attended South […]

Are you on Slack? Over 10 million people log on to the messaging App every day. People in all sorts of industries are deciding if it’s a helpful tool or a nagging reminder (that there are unread messages waiting for you to act on). The answers to these questions will vary depending on how your […]

Agree or disagree? Communications technology, like all new technology, is neither good nor evil. I believe what we choose to do with technology is what matters.

Sean Parker, Facebook’s first President, gave an interesting talk recently, where he reveals the thinking behind the machine.

A decade ago many “digital agencies” were primarily production shops sub-contracting out to the big agencies in big cities. It was a profitable business for several years, but many clients were not fully satisfied. Something was missing.
