"What I gleaned from viewing “The Social Network” was bigger and more important than whether the scenes and details included in the script were accurate. After all, the movie was clearly intended to be entertainment and not a fact-based documentary. What struck me most was not what happened – and what did not – and who said what to whom and why. The true takeaway for me was that entrepreneurship and creativity, however complicated, difficult or tortured to execute, are perhaps the most important drivers of business today and the growth of our economy." Eduardo Saverin.

Not-for-profit and not-knowing-what-to-do-to-get-with-the-times?
May 24, 2011 Written by Mellissah Smith
In the last month, I noticed another not-for-profit that I have been very familiar with over the years finally get online and join the ranks of facebook and twitter.
Not-for-profits in 95 percent of cases are for very good causes and definately whether they make a profit or not, have their hearts in the right place.

Planking is the action of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body, in unusual public spaces and photographing it.
Marketing Eye CEO, Julie Schoneveld joined the craze today, together with Pip (the Director's dog). Planking is viral marketing at its best. There is not a day that goes by that there is not a report about planking.

Never thought that having an odd sign on a door would make a destination so memorable. Everyone in the ladies restroom at Adelaide Airport when I was there were in fits of laughter about a sign that may imply that visitors drink toilet water. Now, really... has anyone ever had a glass of toilet water in lieu of clean water out of a tap?

You can come up with a reason for doing almost everything... including murder, so coming up with reasons to not succeed is a piece of cake.
Everyday, I talk to small businesses who say they want to grow, but always have a reason why they haven't. "Useless salesman, economy is bad, product is going through changes, website isn't generating leads, too busy running the business"... and the list goes on.

Having travelled many times to the United States over the years for both business and pleasure, I have to say, that I have fallen in love with it all over again.
My recent travels were meant to be educational, and they were, but they also ensured that I revisited my old stomping grounds, reunited with friends that I hadn't seen in years and had new and exciting experiences that I will never forget.
It does help that the first time I went to the United States the dollar was 57c to every AU$1 dollar. Not ideal. Today, it sits nicely at $1.08 which pleases me no end and has definately aided in bringing back the passion I have for travelling to their great country.

Who has had a bad coffee? I am sure that 100% of people have had an experience of a bad coffee and no doubt will continue to as our favourite brands are not always available, where we want them to be. The coffee industry is a burgeoning industry, and locally in Australia, companies like Vittoria Coffee has pioneered the coffee industry and taken a significant dominance in the buying decisions of not only coffee shops but also to consumers who pick coffee off the shelf at the local Coles or Woolworths stores.

My marketing and creative teams are sitting around this afternoon having a chat about what comes up on google and what does not. I of course, with my extensive experience with marketing websites to ensure that they are number one on google or at the very least on page one, have skited that I can make any term a winner.

Like many of my friends, clients and colleagues, I have a facebook page. I use it to keep in contact with friends and of course for marketing. Before I had an iphone, I hardly ever checked my facebook page and would often give my password to friends who liked to know who was up to what, but didn’t want to succumb to the social media revolution.
