    No such thing. Online marketing is anything but subtle.

    If you've had a look at the backend, you'd know that what is seen by "prospects" is only the tip of the iceberg.

    Also, proper online marketing picks specific targets and strikes them when they least expect it with the best possible technique and weapon.

    In other words, online marketing done right means operating like a motherfucking ninja.

    Sloppy online marketing that uses the shotgun/blanket approach means operating like the American military, amiright?

    No. That's spam you're thinking of. Good online marketing is the stuff you sign up for.

    Haha! You're talking about marketing like it isn't evil.

    I'm liking this new side of you, Baraka.

    It's so Sellout.

    It's evil, but you invite it "into your house"...you know, like a vampire.

    I want to be able to buy my SO a new car someday. I'm learning a thing or two from my role models.

    But first they've lead you to a place on the Internet where you actually ask them to send you things.

  16. I work for a College of Pharmacy and am going to get my MBA with a marketing focus. I have been asked if I am going to market drugs. I don't think I can. It's so shady and I still have a soul...for now.

    I just interviewed a faculty member who just did a study on pharmaceutical marketing. I will be writing an article for some e-marketing. Actually, I like to think of what I do as E-Public Relations.
     
  17. What's that? I'm dismissed from work 2 hours early on this beautiful 85-degree summer day?

    Say again? You want me to go home, eat a huge lunch, and then go and play with puppies and kitties for a few hours?

    I think I can handle this. :)

    Went to the market and bought a half-flat of assorted berries. Got them home and washed, then sorted them for firmness; soft, bruised ones got rescued into sugar. They'll macerate and then I'll decide what to do with them--might be jam, might be parfaits, might be served over pound cake, might make pavlova.

    The lesson I've learned from making strawberry freezer jam for the last several years: don't wait to wash your berries. Wash them in a solution of water and vinegar to kill mold spores. Sort them immediately; one bad strawberry ruins the whole bunch. Softer fruit should be sliced and put into sugar--not much, just a touch. Let the firmer fruit dry completely before storing.
