An amazing tour de force of a web site.

Driving so much traffic for editorial sites. Think what you will of the politics here. I admire the efficacy of the home page. Clean. Crisp. No video. Just link love.

It works. It is a king maker. Amazing – since 1996.

Relevance in Death

Sad that when a celebrity passes on the career arc is accelerated.

All over the web – be it web searches on Yahoo, Bing and Google; audio streams on Pandora and Spinner; video streams via YouTube or movie widgets via SnagFilms; Amy Winehouse was all the rage again on the web this week.

Our film in the library “The Girl Done Good” on SnagFilms is getting lots of traffic, widget snagging and embedding is growing all over the web.

Whoever would have thought that passing on would be a good career move. Sad as that sounds.

Here is the film again; click and watch should you have a moment.

Thanks for the positive vibes and the “tweaks”

I very much appreciate the nice emails of support I have been receiving about the Washington Mystics. And the notes of critiques. It shows you care.

This season has not gone as planned. No doubt about it. We thought we would have a good mix of vets and youth and we have truly missed two of our bedrock players who have missed the entire season to date with injuries.

These two players ate a lot of minutes and would have helped to settle us down as games were close and we needed vet leadership. It was not to be. See this article within.

Be that as it may – we are playing hard. We are letting young players mature and get their time and we are positioning ourselves well for our future.

We have committed much more resources to make the Mystics a success. We have made great progress on the business model front. Our attendance is strong; our marque partnership with Inova Health Systems has been a blessing. Now we just need to return to our winning ways on the court. Thank you.
