What Are You Thankful For? Rad’ Peep ReTweets
Posted by Marty Weintraub on November 25th 2009 in SEM Poetry Slam | 1 comment
I’ve been watching TweetDeck all morning for the real-time search “thankful.” Feeling extremely grateful, I asked a couple a’ thousand of our closest friends what exactly they were thankful for.

Posted by Marty Weintraub on October 23rd 2009 in SEM Poetry Slam | 3 comments
The wind whistles howling, this blustery Canal Park morning, 7:20 AM. The water churns brown, surface licking little whitecaps, tinted iron ore agitated by waves.

Speaking to a pair of packed sessions at sold-out SMX Advanced in Seattle, I took time to look out into the audience and measure attendees’ eyes.

Happy Thanksgiving morning from snowy Duluth, Minnesota. Greetings to our search marketing friends.
The sun is barely risen, looming golden on the distant Lake Superior horizon. Steam wafts off the harbor, for temperature differential between warm water and frigid air.
