I'm writing you from Ad-Tech in New York, the big buzz digital marketing conference that could practically fool you into thinking the dot com boom is back. Over 7,000 registered attendees this year, up 40% from last year's event.
Well, the boom isn't back.**
I'm sure of that. But elbowing my way through the packed exhibit hall is a trip down memory lane. I'm here to schmooze and pick up a few tips for you. You'll find them all in my blog. Just follow the links below...
20% of U.S. Internet users have visited a top-ranked blog

** Subscriber Andreas Ramos responds with this observation: "No, (the dot com boom is) not back like it was. It's back like three times bigger than it was. Ecommerce is three times larger now than it was at the top of the boom. The only difference is the marketing and media; the VCs aren't shelling out hundreds of millions to marketing droids, who aren't handing out hundreds of millions in bribes, er, paid placement to the newspapers and magazines. Thus the media won't write about ecommerce anymore. Proof? See this article." |
