Last Updated on August 11, 2017 So Boxing Day isn’t recognized in the United States, although most English speaking countries do observe it (meaning it’s considered a holiday and workers are given the day off). There isn’t one identified origin of Boxing Day but from my research the most commonly written about theories of origin […]
Last Updated on August 3, 2021 News of Instagram changing their terms of service and privacy policy sent users in a complete pandemonium yesterday.

Last Updated on February 23, 2021 The word “boycott” became the embodiment for economic ostracism when an Irish landowner, Charles Boycott, evicted tenants due to non-payment. Because of this action his employees stopped working for him, businesses wouldn’t take his money and even the postman stopped delivering his mail. Today we still use the word […]
Last Updated on August 11, 2017 Last week we talked about the less than amicable relationship between Instagram and Twitter.

Last Updated on August 14, 2017 At one time (not so long ago) Twitter and Instagram were buddies. But as of yesterday, Instagram disabled Twitters ability to correctly display photos. Now, shouldn’t social media outlets be social with one another? Instagram bluntly said it took this action to increase direct traffic from Twitter to their […]
Last Updated on July 13, 2017 A new Website launched in October called Greentoe. It’s pretty simple. You have your eye on some tech or gadgets but you don’t want to pay the price tag listed at the store. Greentoe has thousands of items listed through a network of small to big box stores. You […]
Last Updated on July 13, 2017 The Socially Aware blog (published by Morrison & Foerester, devoted to the law and business of social media) posted an infographic on online behavior of Americans, habits in reference to second-screen, demographic patterns and year over year changes.

Last Updated on August 3, 2017 So my Christmas countdown clock says there are only 26 days (I won’t get into hours and minutes) left until Christmas is finally here. Every year at THAT! Company we have a White Elephant exchange at our Christmas party (Yes, I said Christmas party – it might not be politically correct […]
Last Updated on August 8, 2017 Around Thanksgiving we have a slue of consumer important days; Grey Thursday, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday (can’t believe we haven’t given Sunday a name as well). However did you know there is a “#GivingTuesday?” I have to admit I didn’t know much about it […]
Last Updated on August 10, 2017 Can you believe it has only been seven years since Cyber Monday started? Cyber Monday usually blows away Black Friday in sales (in 2011 Cyber Monday sales tallied $1.25 billion versus $816 million for Black Friday). Brick and mortar stores started “Black Friday” sales as early as Thursday night […]
Last Updated on December 6, 2018 The Obama administration has been highly regarded for their social media engagement. So we don’t find it strange that they took a long standing tradition, pardoning of a turkey for Thanksgiving (John F. Kennedy was the first president to pardon a turkey) and made it a “social” event. The […]
Last Updated on December 6, 2018 A few months back the EdgeRank, Facebooks algorithm which decides what stories appear in your newsfeed, was changed. Yesterday a “full breakdown” was posted on EdgeRank Checker. The information was sourced to come from Will Cathcart, Facebook’s News Feed Product Manager. Four things were addressed: 1. Prior interaction with […]
Last Updated on December 6, 2018 So the supermarkets were absolutely crazy this past weekend. That can only mean one thing – Thanksgiving is upon us.

Last Updated on December 6, 2018 So we have made it through another week. We have helped clients and worked hard. Today we will work some more and then have a little funlater on with a Minute-To-Win-It Tissue pulling competition (don’t worry we’ll refold and reuse the pulled tissues – we don’t like to be wasteful). Did you hear […]
Last Updated on September 14, 2018 Have you been frustrated there isn’t a “share” button on your mobile version of Facebook? The statistics in July showed Facebook with 955M monthly active users and of that 543M were mobile users (a 67% increase when compared to last year). Well you would think that Mobile Facebook would […]

Last Updated on September 14, 2018 This infographic went around the office the other day. It was quite befitting to what we do and as a Google Adwords Certified Partner we found the infographic a great reference (and decent outlook) for the Pay-Per-Click industry. It was also nice to hear the conversations that took place […]
Last Updated on September 14, 2018 Did you know there was a “Friendship Page” on Facebook? Well it’s been there for over 2 years just building, gathering information on you and every “friendship” you have on Facebook.
