The Reverse Tipping Point: Say goodbye, IE6

I really identify with Gladwell’s ‘The Tipping Point’. With web tools like Twitter available to all, positive momentum can grow within hours, not days or weeks, potentially creating a success overnight.

My Word of Mouth Marketing Manifesto

I’ve just returned from the WOMMA summit in Washington D.C, and let’s just say it inspired me. A lot. So much so that whilst sitting in Reagan airport waiting for my flight back to Montreal, I couldn’t help but start to type like a maniac about what everything I took in.
