Even the best technology won&#039;t create value if it can&#039;t get to market. 

That simple, straightforward lesson from the last tech bust ought to be guiding the new generation of startups. But as technology companies rush to fill every niche in the marketing industry, the lack of go-to-market savvy is stunning.  In fa]]></description>

It&#039;s the time of  year to look ahead (perhaps with a touch of  trepidation) of  what the next big thing in marketing might be. But 2013 will be less about revolutionary products and technologies and more about the subtle shifts that  have already begun to transform marketing and will become even more important next year. ]]></description>

Too often my meetings with online media network salespeople sound something like this:

The financial world believes that  the social-media bubble has popped. That&#039;s the message of  an article published late last week in Fortune, analyzing the disastrous decline of  the "Valley&#039;s brightest lights" -- Groupon shares down more than 70% from its offering price, Facebook down 43% and Zynga down 69%.

Many wise minds have espoused the merits of   the ad-supported business model, where consumers get free services or content so marketers can "push" ads to them.

The notion of net neutrality evokes a sense of righteous entitlement whenever anyone vaguely threatens this sacred principle. The mere discussion gets a knee jerk "the net should stay neutral" reaction that rivals what the "live free or die" call probably evoked in its day.
