Today

Facebook is holding it’s first ever “fMC” today – that’s Facebook Marketing Conference, and it’s announcing widely expected new ad formats. From the release just sent to me: Today, Facebook announced a new design for Pages, giving brands and businesses more ways to tell their story. The redesigned Pages are more personalized and complementary to the look and feel of individual profiles. Now, when you visit a Page, you can see your friends’ interactions with that Page as

Today I am opening the registrations for the AdSense Profits Course again. The doors will stay open for 4 days only (i.e., until this Friday, midnight GMT), so if you were planning to join make sure to check it out today. When I created the course last year I was not sure if I would re-launch it or not, but the feedback I got was so positive that I decided to run it at least one more time (so yeah there’s a chance I won’t be opening it again). Most people who joined the course saw a significant

Google didn’t have a great earnings call today – the company missed Wall St. estimates and the stock is getting hammered in after hours trading - it’s down 9 percent, which is serious whiplash for a major stock in one day.

If you have been wondering when the latest update to Google’s search offering would be then today is your day. Google’s “Search Plus Your World” (notice the clever use of plus in the title wink, wink, nod, nod) is starting to be rolled out today to English language searchers who are logged into Google.com. As we like to do here at Marketing Pilgrim, we’ll give you the video intro from Google just to whet your appetite regarding this rather significant addition to the Google

Marketing executives and those that they badger for information still today often walk away frustrated from the problem of accurate and actionable measurement of campaigns of all sorts. Marketers used to be able to hide behind vague metrics like eyeballs and overall demographics of whatever medium they were using. The imperfections of the measurements were accepted and everyone just went along their merry way because you have to advertise to do business, right? Then along comes the Internet and promises of

I have already posted about this trend today in the industry’s coverage of a relative non-event even if it actually happens, which is the buying or maybe, kinda, sorta buying of Gowalla by Facebook. So being in the mood I was already in came across this bit of “news” from Business Insider’s founder Henry Blodget and just had to ask what are we doing? Here is a picture of the headline from yesterday and the amount of sharing that occurred around it. (Don’t be scared by the tech

Lots of the news today is focused on the impending IPO for Facebook in the spring. It’s talk that has been flying around for quite some time but this time it looks like it could actually happen. According to the Wall Street Journal

Yay! Today is Thanksgiving! FEED ME TURKEY! Ok so I know what you are thinking, Um Joe, Thanksgiving was two days ago! But, you are wrong, and in this post I am going to prove it to you. Your thanksgiving may have been two days ago, but mine is today. You see, in my family we all have different places to go on Thanksgiving which means that usually we end up celebrating together on the Saturday after.
