Comments Off on My Book Reviews on Amazon FYI: In addition to posting some of my book reviews in this blog (click here for the “Book Reviews” category on MarkWelchBlog.com), I also post more book reviews on Amazon.com (click here for my Amazon review profile).
Comments Off on Likeonomics, by Rohti Bhargava Likeonomics was an engaging and sometimes interesting book, but without any real substance or value.
(Note: Likeonomics is NOT a book about the economics of “Likes” on Facebook. It’s about the importance of “likeability” for business or professional success.)
Comments Off on Update: My View on Non-Disclosure Agreements In 2009, I wrote a blog post explaining “Why I Don’t Sign NDAs,” and reported that in 30 years of work as a reporter, attorney, and internet marketing consultant, I’ve signed exactly two Non-Disclosure Agreements, one of which was part of an employment contract.
Last week, I signed my third NDA.
Comments Off on Usefulness of Product Reviews on Etailer Sites Online product reviews are a critical part of my buying process. But how useful, and how legitimate, are the product reviews we see on merchants’ web sites?
Count me among the Democrats in U.S. Representative Pete Stark’s district who believe he should retire, and that if he doesn’t, we should vote him out of office to avoid further embarrassment. Unfortunately, his current challengers don’t appear very attractive.
The breadth and depth of the advice in Geno Prussakov’s book, Affiliate Program Management: An Hour a Day, is exceptional.
Comments Off on Email Forwarding Address for Mark Welch I just spent a half-hour hour tracking down an old friend whose 2005 email address (@aol.com) no longer works, and I realized that I should create a single “email forwarding” web page that people who are searching for me might find.
Check your credit card statements for any improper charges by Amazon!
I just found a series of unexpected small transactions from Amazon on my credit card.
Once again, my maze of cables has reached “critical mass,” increasing my daily stress. I recently bought several new devices, including an Android tablet, a Bluetooth headset, and a new cell phone. Each has its own charging cable, and all the new cables and most of the old ones are black. And three of the devices use the same tiny USB connector, but I’m not 100% certain that it’s OK to use them interchangably.
So I just spent 20 minutes printing out and affixing 16 tiny labels to 8 cables (one on each end of each cable) to identify which cables go with which devices. (The picture at right is not mine; it’s just an example.)
