Internet Marketing 4 Noobs

This is one of the most creative campaigns I’ve seen, especially one coming from Microsoft.

Microsoft!! The same company that came up with that rather lame “The WOW Starts Now!” campaign for their Windows campaign just slightly more than a year ago.

The very first guy, hits out at Apple’s intepretation of PC users. PC, acted by John Hodgman, is interesting and the ads by Apple is certainly interesting.

However, to be frank, I just find Apple’s ads interesting and entertaining, but not reflecting the truth.

Not all PC users look like the one acted by John Hodgman. I wear glasses, but I’m not John Hodgman PC.

Now with Microsoft hitting back with the same creative valor…it will be interesting to see what Apple’s response will be like.

“I’m a PC and I sell fish!”

NICE.

I happened to watch Kung Fu Panda on DVD recently, and there is a line stated by this “elderly” character Master Wu Gui to consult the main character, Po the panda, at the latter’s lowest moments.

Master Wu Gui:

“You are too concerned

with what has happened,

and what is to come.

There is a saying…

Yesterday is history

Tomorrow is mystery

Today is a gift, that’s why they call it Present.”

Nice.

Just found a great article.

This computer science student graduated from his university and from his experience in his job so far, he found that his education is lacking in 3 key areas.

I’m not a computer science student, and so I can’t really relate to the first 2 points he wrote about. But I can certainly feel for the last one.

3. Corporate Politics/Building Relationships

It may not seem so to most people, but I believe that this is by far the most important point where my CS degree let me down. So much emphasis is placed on technical subjects that you never get to find out how life really works in the corporate world. Of course this is the hardest to figure out on your own.

So yeah…just another good reminder why we always have to keep learning. Graduation is just the beginning.

Here’s the original article.
