Good stuff. At first glance, it certainly seems to match up with the fairly standard post-convention bump -- usually about 4%. For a really impressive data dig, check out this rece…

Not to be confused with SmartWater: http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com/dynamic/press_center/site... I know, I'm trolling. Sorry. But it's too similar. They should tweak it. Moving …

That was our initial justification/rationalization too... They were public facts. It'd be like repurposing the current temperature. But apparently that's not the case here. They ac…

Charging for your application is a big step -- you are making a statement that what you are offering is of value. I think that if you can offer some premium lever of your software …
