That really showed them! Boy howdy!
Another reason that Buffy was a...

And I agree—but there is also a brand strategy happening. I don’t know if it will work but it is worth adding to the discussion. First: Early adopters will buy anything once they’ve got the device. (Seriously, there is even a study!) So the early adopters all buy the VF ipad issue app or whatever—even if they don’t buy it again for a while, they...

NEW THING I'M DOING
so i am going to be saying my reviews of artists or crazy songs. This weeks artist is KESHA.

Hundreds followed Koljonen’s example on Twitter under the hashtag#prataomdet (”#talkaboutit”). As a...

As Feminists We Do Not Want to Mess Over People in...
