Latest column, and a history

My latest column was published last night: Five Steps to Start Your M-commerce Strategy on Multichannel Merchant.

Anna points out that there's no one place on my site that logs all my published moments. So I made one. The list is both nice and long, and way too short. Always keep writing!

I'll have to find a home for this information, but for now, a quick rundown of my solicited external work, in reverse chronological order:

COLUMNS AND FEATURES

Billboard, 1996-1999
I published a series of year-end Top 10 lists that appeared on both billboard.com and in Billboard magazine. Sadly, the online ones are gone and the print ones are behind a pay wall (if they're there at all). For some reason my byline is on this article about Sugar Ray, which I may have written, although I don't remember talking to Mark McGrath, but we'll run with it.

BOOKS

I co-authored Usability: the Site Speaks for Itself and was a technical editor of Practical Web Traffic Analysis.

BLOGS

I write regularly here and on aiaio, the Ai blog.

I penned Timely Demise semi-professionally for 15 months until, well, yesterday.
