I know what you’re thinking, “With a title like that, this guy is just trying to earn brownie points with the CEO.” First of all, that’s never a bad idea but, more importantly, it’s a legitimate question that asked myself when Facebook announced that they will be launching promoted posts for users. I’ll fill you in on what my boss suggested later but let’s first answer the question, “What are promoted posts for users?” In order to do so, I’ll explain promoted posts in general. Advertisers, including clients of Wpromote, have been taking advantage of promoted posts in order to get their messages in front of more of their customers.

By promoting a post, advertisers are able to keep … Continue reading

The Best Products of CES 2011
The Consumer Electronic Show (CES) lived up to its hype this year by delivering around 50 tablets and featuring over 100 companies with 3D products. About 140,000 people attended this event to see the most technologically advanced products from 2,700 companies, and without a doubt each guest left with a sense of amazement. There is no way I would be able to cover all the products displayed this year, but I will be discussing the top products from CNet’s Best of CES 2011 Awards, and then revealing the number one product from each category. Let’s start the overview with a rapidly growing industry, Car Tech. The three items that stood out in this category are the Toyota Entune, OnStar for After Market, and Countour Mobile.

Last Minute Holiday Gifts For The Tech & Fashion-Forward
Three days left to shop for Christmas. That’s right: uno, dos, tres. If you’re anything like me, you’re not quite finished.

So what do you do? You turn to your trusty sidekick, the interweb. While browsing, I found some amazingly chic and tech-savvy gifts. I like these items so much so, that once I am finished writing this, I am going to forward the entire list to my family (because they, like me, are not finished with shopping either. Chalking it up to genetics.). If you’re concerned they won’t arrive in time, I have you covered. You can always include a note in the card stating … Continue reading
Sensory Overload: TRON Fashion
The worlds of fashion and technology colliding is becoming increasingly familiar, and this past Thursday at Royal/T in Culver City, it was quite evident. The perfect blend of celebrities, fashion influencers, tech journalists, and geeks alike came out to a private event launching Disney’s TRON: Legacy Pop-Up Shop. In preparation of “TRON: Legacy” (which hits theaters December 17), Disney has created a one-of-a-kind shop at this unique Japanese café and art space. Giving much credit to the creative minds at Larry Abel Designs, walking into Royal/T you felt as though you have left Los Angeles completely, and entered the world of Tron. Never before, however, would one associate the gaming world with Jarome C. Rosseau 4” stilettos, and Hayden-Harnett black leather accessories. According to the release, “Our TRON: Legacy line offers a wide range of items for all —whether you’re a die-hard fan or just an avid fan of design, … Continue reading
