Column 2 Now on PressHarbor
I’ve been seeing some performance problems with this blog, and have moved it over to PressHarbor on the advice of my friend Joey, who uses it for his very popular blog that sees a lot more traffic that I do. I’ve also changed the theme to a cleaner look that supports a few additional features [...]
Augmented Reality. Will it ever become a part of the marketing technology mix?
