As of mid-June Apple will be delivering YouTube content on Apple TV. Back in October I mentioned how happy I would be if Apple was to integrate YouTube into Apple TV, and now it is here.

I’m always on the lookout for new CRM / Contact management tools. My most recent review has been BigContacts. I like the amount of information BigContacts contains however I’m put off by the user interface and organization. Unlike applications like 37Signals HighRise, BigContacts overwhelms the user with too many options.

The contact navigation was to cumbersome and not intuitive; despite the use of AJAX throughout the site. BigContacts would be useful for a collective contacts database where users would be looking up contact information periodically; but this is not useful for the purposes of CRM or sales generation.

I thought with the most recent round of changes that Google Analytics would have better integration with AdWords, but that hasn’t happened. We have one master account to manage all our clients under Google Adwords, likewise we have several accounts in Google Analytics where we track our client’s data, yet Analytics and Adwords aren’t quite integrated enough to communicate which accounts belong to who.

If I am logged into Google Analytics under our master account I can see clients A, B & C. If I go into Google Adwords I can see clients A, B & C, however when I turn on conversion tracking for ROI analysis Google Adwords doesn’t check first with Analytics to see which domains I have under my account. Instead AdWords wants me to create a new Analytics account for the domain.

This should be simple. Couldn’t Google check Analytics and offer me the option of using an existing Analytics domain vs creating a new one?

When my wife and I go food shopping we always bring a list of items but we often forget a pen to check-off what was purchased. Even when we do bring a pen it is a bit awkward to write on a piece of flimsy paper without leaning against a cereal box. As a dirt simple alternative just rip your check-offs into the side of the paper to indicate what you’ve picked up and what still needs to be hunted down.
