I’ve set up a “lens” called “C4ISR Marketing – aka Network Centric Marketing” on Squidoo and am trying to teach myself about whether it provides utility for B2B marketers. My “lens” (this is what you call your site there) is not a high ranking site in the Squidoo world by any means, but I guess it’s better than a lot of others. For now I’ll tinker with it […]
Nowadays with advertising proliferating everywhere, there are ads on checkout line conveyor belts, large ad stickers on flooring, and mini-ads on shopping carts, on gas pumps, to mention a few.

There’s a different and maybe even better way to be a C4ISR Marketer and its origins are in my backyard in the Washington DC area… GeoCommons allows users to “Explore, Create & Share Intelligent Maps and Geographic Data.” […]
Louise Story’s August 6th article in The New York Times, “It’s an Ad, Ad, Ad, Ad World, started my week off with a bang.
