On AdWeek reading the article titled, “New Social Gurus” made me laugh out loud. One quote in particular by a self important trumpet blower:

For some odd reason as i run around attending to this and that – the song by Haddaway, “What is Love” pops into my head. Although i have transitioned from “Designer” to “Director” since 3 years ago, it never ceases to amaze me just how abstract and subjective the term “productive” is – not to [...]
As the WWDC conference announced a slew of new things, most notably the iPhone 3GS, coming for Apple fans worldwide, the Apple Korea web site was conspiciously empty save the announcement of the new line of Macbook Pros. The good news for Apple Korea is that with the release of the 13 inch Macbook Pro, [...]
