- Forbes Insights: The Rise of the Digital C-Suite - Adam Kmiec of www.thekmiecs.com brought this report to my attention via Twitter. Here’s what he has to say: “Forbes and Google got together to conduct a study of C-Level executives. The study was called The Rise of the Digital C-Suite: How Executives Locate and Filter Business Information. It focused on how executives are interactive, engaging, and getting their information. Sure, everyone is different and everyone business situation is unique. However, the report surfaces up an interesting data point – there’s a massive difference in the use of interactive tools and platforms like twitter between those executives over the age of 40 and those under the age of 40. The report dubs this audience, Generation Netscape.”

- Lessons of Internet Marketing From FreshDirect - WSJ.com - "I believe real Internet marketing is still in its infancy. Too much attention has been given to digital advertising, and not enough to the creation of loyal customer relationships, which are especially valuable in the "one-click" purchasing environment. The focus on digital advertising has led to a proliferation of clicks and visitors (and declining conversion rates to boot), but has failed to capture the transformative power of the Internet. The true power of Internet marketing is the ability to interact to develop superior customer knowledge and real-time rhythm to significantly build one's business."

Today’s Power Mom does it all—the house, the kids, the job, the bills, the shopping—and the Internet has become a tremendous enabler, bringing new meaning to multi-tasking. While the ability to connect with moms is easier than ever before with the advent of social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and a growing number of “mom blogs”, are marketers really listening to her value systems? It’s time to move beyond “messaging” to “listening”."
