Herding Cats: February 2008
http://mattmclean.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Musings and rhetoric of a dot com survivor. Sunday, February 24, 2008. Great book, a must read. I stumbled upon a book last week called “Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets” by Sudhir Venkatesh. I can't recommend this book enough. I enjoyed the book so much I reached out to Sudhir to let him know how much I liked the book. Sudhir was nice enough to respond to my email. In addition he had a documentary, Dislocation.

Herding Cats: June 2008

Musings and rhetoric of a dot com survivor. Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures. Writes a great blog called "A VC". Today Fred posted a piece called "Managing 'Unproductive' Meetings" that breaks out 6 tips for meeting management. #3 seems so obvious but most meetings lack an agenda and can be a big waste of time.

Herding Cats: January 2009

Musings and rhetoric of a dot com survivor. Wednesday, January 7, 2009. Your Culture Is Your Brand. An interesting post from Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh claiming culture is your brand. I agree with how you get to "the brand" but I believe more emphasis needs to be placed on the culture. Question: Can company culture be defined by an executive team, a mandate of sorts? So what's a company to do if you can't just buy your way into building the brand you want? In a word: culture. Links to this post. Citizen Soldi...

Herding Cats: November 2007
http://mattmclean.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Musings and rhetoric of a dot com survivor. Friday, November 9, 2007. Aaaa little bit of help here. I am so disgusted with our current state of democracy. We hire politicians to make decisions to help us and mankind (at least it used to work that way). Since late 2001 the political system has been broken (some would question if it had ever worked). We have two parties that will not speak to one another, unless you count the screaming done on the various *news* channels. Now go vote for Obama. Why? At thi...

Herding Cats: 8 myths that haunt online marketers
http://mattmclean.blogspot.com/2008/11/8-myths-that-haunt-online-marketers.html
Musings and rhetoric of a dot com survivor. Friday, November 21, 2008. 8 myths that haunt online marketers. Sure, you've heard it all before - but is everything we hear right? We asked digital media experts to go against the grain and debunk some commonly held wisdom about the business. Some of these truisms used to be true but are no longer; others are legacies of the traditional advertising world. And one of them might depend on whether you're on the client or agency side of the table.
