Acclaim Shows Just How Well Marketing
Gimmicks Work By Going Out Of Business 09/01/2004 03:14 PM
Video game maker Acclaim's most recent claims to fame have been much more about ridiculous promotions, rather than games that people actually want to buy. They wanted to adverti se on tombstones (some game involving death), pay your speeding tickets (some game involving car racing) and to get people to name their first baby Turok (some game involving characters with weird names). However, like IUMA, the company that asked parents to name their kids IUMA and quickly went out of business, it appears that the baby naming promotion curse has struck again. Acclaim has apparently laid everyone off, shut down their offices, and is declaring Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Hopefully, little baby Turoks and Iumas can now hang out and talk about their parents' bizarre behaviors in naming them after a company that couldn't last until they were at least out of diapers. If you absolutely must name you kid after a brand, you should at least pick one that can last.

How the internet is failing research, or

How the internet is failing research, or
is it the other way around 03/14/2005 06:11 PM
Last night I listened to a lecture from the dean of the College of Education at University of Central Florida. Her lecture was about the grants the college has been winning, how they're being used, the restrictions grants have on them, and how important research is.

She started talking about how research benefits K-12 education, as you might expect from a College of Education dean, but all I heard was the breakdown between grant research and information dissemination on the Internet. The Internet has certainly not failed in performing secondary information research for K-12 schools. It hasn't failed as a commerce medium or distance education tool.
