Bing Goes the Internet?
Bing goes the Internet. Perhaps only slightly more awkward than Uncle Morty at a cocktail party, Bing’s tagline weirdness is only matched by its commercials.

Who Says Newer Is Better?

Does Your City Represent? 7 Bands and the Cities that Made Them
Austin fell under the spell of New Jersey last Sunday when Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band parked their traveling party inside the Frank Erwin Center for a 3-hour fest of old fashioned rock and roll that had seven-year olds pumping their fists and mothers remembering the “Glory Days.”

This link could be anything from a detrimental or poorly trained employee to an outdated business plan or poorly designed website.
