(once I got ipod classic instead).
looks like this

WOMMA – wrong

by Laurel Papworth on October 11, 2008 · 0 comments

I’m not very cross with WOMMA but I do think it’s important to remind them occasionally – not enough to harass, just occasionally – that they are wrong in disallowing anyone who is not an agency to join:

There are tons of ways [...]

Perhaps someone could have figured this out a year ago, Social networks like MySpace, owned by News Corp (NWS) and Facebook are poor targets for marketers.

by Laurel Papworth on November 17, 2007 · 2 comments
