    Mobile has a consistent hummm

    We have the ability to push the content to the user

    Is an mobile app necessary? We look at what can an app give you that a mobile website cant.

    There are certain things you can do with an app:

    device GPS device camera device acceleramator device calendar

    If the application lends itself to an experience that would require interactivity with any of the above, thenan app makes sense, but...

    If its more of a content play or just getting videos in front of somebody or news articile and doesntrequire all these deep integrations with mobile device parts, then a mobile website is more appropriate

    The biggest challenge is the fact that nobody knows where this is going but you have to participate or youwill be left behind.

    ____________

    The consensus is that the value of future, unknown products is zero. Not only that but the probability thatthere will be any products at all is equally zero.

    ____________

    "If one really needs an explanation for why Apple isn't running like a speedboat in these choppy waters, just remember that regardless of how much money it is making now, the business model of making just afew great products is never going to be seen as being terribly safe, so the more money you make, themore worried some people will be. Apple's product line just isn't diversified enough from the typicalinvestor's perspective. They see RIMM and CROC and other companies that have crashed and burned.To them there's nothing special about AAPL, or if there was, the company lost it this year. That I don'tagree with that assessment really, is irrelevant. Tim Cook knows what he's doing. Mr. Ive does too.Iger's no slouch either. But until a few new rabbits are pulled out of the hat, investors will remain on edge

    Half the money I spend on advertising is waisted. The trouble is, I dont know which half. - John Wannamaker

    ...Today, not much has changed. Research shows that 30% of ad campaigns produce little tonothing...and another 20% see declines in market share. TatiMobile makes every penny of your marketing dollar more productive.

    Brainfluence expla ins how to market directly to your customers brain. Your customers dont process your message the way you think they do. This book (TatiMobile, Brainfluence) shows you how to go beyondthe logical attributes of your product or service and instead appeal direct to your customers emotions andsubconcious. A lot of people think that neuromarketing techniques are for big companies with bigbudgets. In fact, just about techniqe that is in this book (just about every service within TatiSmallBusiness

    Marketing can be used by companies of any size, including startups, local and small businesses), evenstartups and non- profits. Its our natural tendency as marketers to explain what our products do andhow good they are. This logical appeal only reaches 5% of you r customers brain. This book,Brainfluence, will let you reach the other 95% (TatiMobile will let you reach the other 95%).

    I think the most important thing I was able to learn was to get used to the fact that nothing goes asplanned when youre doing a startup company. The lows can get really low sometimes. Developingresilience to work through the lows is key to entrepreneurial success.

    A startup can focus on only one metric. So you have to decide what that is and ignore everything else -Noah Kagan | Appsumo

    whenever an assumption is kicked out from under you, thats when you learn the most

    You are going to make a ton of mistakes, you dont get judged by that. - Zuck

    The biggest risk is not taking any riskIn a world that changing really quickly, t he only strategy that isguaranteed to fail is not taking risks. - Zuck

    Of course I dont look busy...I did it right the first time.

    If you can realize your goal in your lifetime, you're not thinking big enough.

    Be careful what you wish for...you just might get it! (brand play on TatiMobile & MasTraficos encouragingclients how successful they can be)

    The #1 reason people quit is because they look how far they have to go, not how far they have come.

    Bad websites are just posters with navigation that dont blend the art forms but rather dilute and confuseeveryone.

    Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but its all that good stuff in between thatmakes it all /worth it/worth living/lots of fun/the journey worthwile.

    Anything that is of value in life on multiplies when it is given - Deepak Chopra

    A man was givine 3 wishes by a genie....

    .his last wish was to make him desirable and irresistible to all women.

    Today he is a credit card She turned him into a credit card Here he is (pulling out my credit card)

    Giving up is not an option

    A story that reflects their life experience

    A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water.

    You can never make t he same mistake twice because the second time you make it...its not a mistake, itsa choice.

    Getting angry is simply punishing yourself with the mistakes of others.

    Ladies if you place you heart and soul in the hands of God, then he will place it in the hands of a manwho deserves it.

    Quality isnt an act. Its a habit | Aristotle

    Why yesterdays approach wont help DR Businessess in the future

    If youre a brand m arketer looking at this as a creative way of just getting that one-time transaction done,youre not recognizing the power of social media and how consumers are playing in the marketing space.

    Dont fix the marketing first, fix your product. Once youve g ot a good product to talk about, themarketings going to flow from that.

    You as a brand have to be completely confident about your position, because you will get criticism. Youwill have a negative reaction. If you didnt get a negative reaction, that means youre standing neutral andyou have no point of view. Who wants to participate in that?

    I learned from my experience at comScore. I really loved data and what could be done with data. I thinkdata is the raw material of the information age, much like steel and rubber. When the Internet started,everyone viewed it as this separate thing. Then you have the real world where real things happen. Ihad this big hunch that the Internet and the real world were going to influence each ot her in the worldof commerce. Not being involved in it seemed crazy.

    app, has gone viral. We also like the hit we get from eavesdropping. That's what we're really doingwhen we "follow" and "subscribe" to people on Twitter and Facebook. And a little control would be nice,too. IFTTT (If This Then That), the hot new app, does tasks based on triggers that you preset, such as,"If tomorrow's forecast calls for rain, email me." Cowbird takes all these desires and rolls them into something inspired. You choose from a grid of photographs and click one "Ambition," perhaps, of a boy in a too-big helmet, taken July 1 in Athens,Greece. Beneath it is written: "As I saw the passer-by stop and hand the little kid his broken helmetand pat him on the back (I guess he didn't need it anymore), the child saw me approaching, held outhis hand and said, 'Please, miss, now all we need is the scooter to go with it!'"

    We're all battling hyper-connectivity: Companies like Volkswagen have decided not to email employeesafter work hours. We pay for software programs like Freedom to cut us off from the Internet for up toeight hours. Books like "The Information Diet" and "The Digital Diet" warn against clicks, not carbs.

    Cowbird offers another option: technological slow food. "This is not longer, it's longer-lasting," says Mr.Harris, whose great-grandmother founded the brilliantly quirky Shelburne Museum in Vermont. ElectraHavemeyer Webb was meticulous, he says, about collecting, say, every sort of American anvil. "Same

    thing for teacups, hammers, quilts, toy soldiers." She took "a potentially negative" attention to detailand turned it into a positive.

    weve come a long, long way over the last 40 years with the simple aim of making things better. And now our questtakes us into banking. Virgin Money, 40 years of better now in a bank.

    What did you learn at Twitch that you're applying to this startup?

    JK : There's tons and tons of things. The most important things I think differently this time is having avision for what you're trying to build is huge. With Justin.tv, we didn't have much of a vision and we weredoing whatever we thought would be cool at the moment. Then when we discovered Twitch, we were like,it's so obvious. The vision helps us so much. With Exec, we definitely from day one started thinking veryhard about that. The way I think about it, is we're trying to make our customers' lives easier when yououtsource something you don't have to think about it again.

    Another thing is just focus, just worrying about the most important things. A lot of startups worry aboutthings that are non-material in the long run like how much should we pay ourselves in a month or what

    the logo should look like. those things don't matter that much, your business shouldn't succeed or fail onthose conditions. Whether your business will succeed or fail is whether your product works, how it works.

    Any time a decision that comes up that isn't important we just punt it and we go back to focusing on aproduct. I had a lot of trouble with that at Detail and Justin.tv.

    Smart B2B companies have long known that winning big is predicated on redefining the rules of competition to your advantage over incumbent vendors. A more difficult question is whether youwant to own a meme. In other words, do you want to define a new categorical term. Microsoftdid that to great effect when they created the office suite category. More recently,Salesforce.com did something similar, becoming the de facto player one thinks of when theythink of cloud computing in the process. Its a very high -risk, high-return strategy.

    For my money, the best recent example of this approach is HubSpot. HubSpot that has createdand owned the Inbound Marketing meme and category.

    Having recently started discussions with investors, there is a paradox that Ive discovered: On

    the one hand, investors like startups that shoot for big opportunities. On the other hand, they getsweaty palms when you describe how you are going to own a new category. Most of themwould rather have you go after a known category.

    Hubspots Biggest Internal Debate It wasnt clear cut at the beginning, yet Hubspots choice to own a new category now has their competition playing by Hubspots rules. In fact, their competition is essentially funding Hubspotsmarketing many of their competitors define themselves as Inbound Marketing companies.Yet Google Inbound Marketing and you ll see how Hubspot dominates the results.

    In the early days, the choice wasnt obvious for Hubspot. There was known market demand for search terms like Internet marketing optimization, SEO, etc. As Hubspots CEO, Brian Halligan,said we decided if we wanted to own something big, wed need to create our own solar systemrather than live in someone elses. At that point, they spent roughly 60 percent of their timebuilding the concept of Inbound marketing and 40 percent on marketing Hubspot itself. Today,the mix has flipped as their competitors are picking up the tab for category marketing.

    Hubspot Becomes a Content Production Machine Halligan describes Hubspot as virtually a TV production operation given the volume of contentthey produce. The advantage from the outset that Hubspot maintains today is that they aregated more by the width of their brain than the fatness of their wallet. As long as they can

    continue to come up with new insights and ideas on how to be a more effective inboundmarketer, they are able to inexpensively produce content in a model that scales very efficiently.Hubspots array of inbound marketing drives 95 perc ent of their 50,000 monthly leads/inquiries.The following list is the stack rank of the highest ROI inbound marketing tactics they employ(see links below to their most popular webinars, e-books and blog posts):

    What we have today is a set of people whose default proposition is not the hierarchy, but the network. And what is the network?
