Holiday Carol: Good King Zuckerberg

Holiday Carol: Good King Zuckerberg

Sung to the tune of “Good King Wenceslas“   Good King Zuckerberg looked out On his Facebook empire, Winklevoss he just did rout, Proving he’s no liar, Lawsuits flanked his left and right Threatening the young turk, But his foes he did all smite, Though he showed us he’s a jerk! From the halls of Harvard he Dropped out without fanfare, Off to Silicon Valley, […]

Holiday Carol: We Housewives of Pinterest Are

Holiday Carol: We Housewives of Pinterest Are

 Sung to the tune of “We Three Kings of Orient Are“ We housewives of Pinterest are Posting pics like we’re some Renoir, Craft and hobby, meek and snobby, Some of it so bizarre.

Mommyblogging is such a pain, Twitter’s limit drives us insane, Pinning’s easy, ‘tho it’s […]

It’s October and Everything is Exact-ly Orange

It’s October and Everything is Exact-ly Orange

  We make no bones about being Orioles fans here at Allinio headquarters in Charm City (that’s Baltimore for those of you who have never had the pleasure of visiting here). So as the Os fight their way in the post season (tonight’s last ALDS game against the New York Yankees will make or break them), it has been a delirious joy for most Baltimore […]

Eating Our Words About Hubspot

Eating Our Words About Hubspot

Earlier this month, we made a a brief comment regarding Hubspot‘s standing in the world of Marketing Automation.  Undoubtedly they are the thought leader in “Inbound Marketing,” but we said that they were not playing at the same level as some of the leading Marketing Automation platforms such as Pardot or Marketo.   Well, the fantastic listeners at Hubspot caught wind of our blog, and none other than the effervescent Laura Fitton (@pistachio) […]

Marketing Automation – Not as Simple as It Looks

Marketing Automation – Not as Simple as It Looks

Salesforce put a video on Marketing Automation on YouTube last week and it’s become a little hit in the circles we run in.

Raab Repeats Right-On Reporting

Raab Repeats Right-On Reporting

Last week there was an interesting observation made about Marketing Automation platform providers. In his well-reknowned blog, David Raab (@draab) commented that after all these years, the consolidation of Marketing Automation providers suprisingly hasn’t slowed the growth of the second tier of players in the space and there is more fragmentation. David’s first line in the blog is “I’ve gotten used to thinking of the B2B marketing automation […]

“Will Big IT Swallow Up Marketing Automation?”

“Will Big IT Swallow Up Marketing Automation?”

That’s the title of Johnny Mone‘s (@johnnymone) brief but thoughtful article in Business 2 Community late last week.  He brings up some valid observations given the major shifts in the IT world, including leadership moves by Oracle, IBM, Salesforce, Intuit, Dell (which we covered in our last blog) regarding Marketing Automation.While we said that Dell’s venture with Pardot was a pivotal event, Johnny counters that overall the jury may still be out because the target audience of SMBs […]
