PostHeaderIcon SXSW 2010 Austin Texas Travel Guide

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Austin is a place unlike anywhere else. It’s a place where the motto ‘Keep Austin Weird’ is a way of life, even for the most straight-laced citizens. It’s a place where you can’t help but relax a little, even if the madness of SXSW is going on all around you.
In anticipation of the WhoLinksToMe.com Pro [...]

PostHeaderIcon Walmart vs. Amazon: Holiday Showdown

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Two days after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday witnessed huge spikes in sales at retail and online stores. Now, if I were to ask you to name a representative of each — a popular retail store and a popular online store — the majority of you would likely list Walmart as your retail representative [...]

PostHeaderIcon Happy Holidays from Citi Financial!

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Americans clear across the country are under a significant amount of financial stress this holiday season, but that doesn’t mean one of the nation’s primary lenders has to abide by any particular code of ethics. With the Credit CARD Act set to go into place three months from now, it’s amazing the kind of predatory practices these banks will still employ.

PostHeaderIcon Bing Goes the Internet?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

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.
We caught a glimpse of a new Bing commercial over at the Tribble Agency Blog by way of JWT.  We’re still trying to figure out how this makes people know anything [...]

PostHeaderIcon Who Says Newer Is Better?

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

There are plenty of reasons why…print obviously has a very high fixed cost, just in terms of newsprint, presses, layout, labor, shipping and everything else you can think of. And when you read a newspaper, you’re obviously reading about something that happened 12 to 24 hours ago. Cable news? How 1980s of you. “Citizen journalists” have the edge on that. And lots of cable-TV viewers are rethinking their cable subscriptions (or even owning a TV), when all that content is available on Hulu.

PostHeaderIcon Masters of Their Domain, Part 2: Lebron James

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

We here at WhoLinksToMe.com are especially glad that LBJ was chosen as the league’s MVP this year, as he’s a cookie cutter example of what we’re looking for when it comes to assessing those who are Masters of Their Domain. Like Alton Brown, Lebron doesn’t have any weaknesses to his game. Where most superstars get talked about as having 4 or 5 tools to their game, Lebron has 9.

PostHeaderIcon Masters of Their Domain: A Series on Folks who Run the Show

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

The inaugural installment of the “Masters of Their Domain” series could not have arrived at a better time, been contrived for a better reason or commissioned for a better price. The heart and soul of this project is an exercise in human social interaction. The goal of it is to test the distributive property of Personal Sweetness. Because we all know: when you’re lying in the trenches taking grenades, you can always steal positive inspiration from the Kingdom of the Unquestionably Awesome.

PostHeaderIcon Yo Ho, Yo Ho, It’s a Pirate’s Life for Me

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Already we know a few things about Wali-i-Musi: cool last name, oldest of 12 kids, used to frequent Bollywood movies as a child, pretty nasty wound on his hand. Is that enough to thrust Wali-i-Musi into the realm of Most Revered and Fabled Pirates of All Time? Debatable, but let’s check out the competition:

PostHeaderIcon Does Your City Represent? 7 Bands and the Cities that Made Them

Monday, April 20th, 2009

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.”
