Transactional emails and marketing emails are a part of my daily life. I get emails from companies I buy things from. Sometimes they’re simply an acknowledgement of my purchase, but others times they’re also giving me a “heads up” in case my account has been compromised. Apple, for example, does this when you download something […]
Some adverts are simply beautiful. This is one of those adverts, and no, you don’t need to speak Polish to understand it: Enjoy! Related Posts:Embedding Youtube Videos With Captions Turned OnHonest AdvertisingCreme Egg MadnessSalesOnline.ie – Worst HTML Coding Of The WeekEva Green – Midnight Poison
The Irish Defence Forces are currently running a recruitment campaign. What’s different about it is that its focus is on women.

The event, which was sponsored by Domain.com, was part of the #SXSW […]
While I can appreciate that understanding the subtleties of intellectual property law is challenging, getting the basics right isn’t that hard. If I produce “work” it is mine. I hold the copyright to it unless I publish it under some form of license that allows sharing – that could be a CC license or a […]
Spotted earlier today outside the Halfords in Carlow: Dear Halfords, While I’m sure your pricing is competitive, Carlow is a town in Ireland. Ireland is not part of the UK and hasn’t been for quite some time. On a more serious note. If you’re doing business internationally you need to be aware of cultural and […]
Knowing your market, choosing who you should invest your marketing dollars (or Euros) in targetting makes sense. In the case of Radix Registry I have to admit that I am impressed. Last week I was in New Orleans for Parallels Summit, which is all about hosting, hosting automation and related services. (Yeah, it’s kind of […]
