  1. Watching @orientaltrading's CEO on Undercover Boss. Ahh, the less glamorous side of #eCommerce!
  2. Oh, hello Orlando. Here for IRWD 2012 this week lockerz.com/s/183416362
  3. Sign of the times: A friend asked how much I use my condo's gym. My response: "Well, I'm the 4sq mayor, sooo..." She didn't get it.
  4. @danauns27 Nice point. I wondered the same thing shortly after that tweet.
  5. Interesting that some retailers in the Internet Retailer Hot 100 consider Magento an "in-house" solution and others consider it outsourced.
  6. @andrewsoobrian Actually, it probably means you are a procrastinator.
  7. Fantastic interview with @tanbir_grover on the Canadian #eCommerce marketplace and HBC's online growth: bit.ly/tj92hA
  8. @Jim_Cain In fairness to FB, u r complicated. Who else jams to Iron Maiden while enjoying rare dark roast coffee+reading Web Analytics 2.0?
  9. Quite possibly the most scathing Groupon analysis yet. "Groupon is a disaster" - Forrester's Sucharita Mulpuru (ouch!) bit.ly/pR6vSa
  10. I love that Canadian Club's Facebook page "likes" @HBO's Boardwalk Empire. That's great.
  11. @bkwalker Great @endeca acquisition write up, as always. Spot on.
  12. Can't help but feel like the world won't be able to fully appreciate Jobs' impact for decades to come. #RIPSteveJobs
  13. @BestFriend_Jon Permission granted. Will even allow you to transfer another slap to @CharlyOp, if you want. @KenLancastle
  14. Finally ppl outside the ecommerce space are realizing what many inside it have long been saying: Daily Deals don't work nyti.ms/nh9nsS
  15. It's amazing: Barely anyone cared about tablets three years ago. Fast forward to today and it's all the rage. Amazing how things change.
  16. #FF @SHOPdotCA (Soon to be) Canada's largest eCommerce store. Sign up to earn points & win #prizes ow.ly/6Ay8J (c'mon, click it!)
  17. Facebook to launch Read, Listened, Watched, and Want buttons soon. Clearly what's lacking most in their platform. Nice guys.
  18. All caught up on the TechCrunch happenings. It's fitting that all the drama started up as All my Children was put to an end. Congrats, all.
  19. Had a great time at @ShopOrg this week in Boston. Lots of great content, packed with good meetings with customers, prospects and partners.
