This Focused Performance Weblog started life as a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective, but is in the process of evolving towards primary content on interactive and mobile marketing. Think of it as about Focusing marketing messages for enhanced Performance. If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here.

Feel free to replace the first couple lines with almost any story that gets 20 hours of coverage per day on cable news. (From Britt, who I once met at a blogger's dinner at Katz' deli in NYC. We oughta do that again. Any readers in the NY/NJ/PA area interested in a meetup?)
