Oreo’s gimmick Facebook marketing, wait I’m not hating on it?


Written by : Richard

So my buddy Karl (his blog) tagged me on a Facebook comment talking about some ‘Oreo to Attempt Guinness World Records Mark for Most “Likes”‘ gimmick marketing stunt. He assumed that I would rip this apart which was a pretty safe assumption as I’m a giant hater of gimmick marketing. Weird thing though is that [...]

Written by : Richard

I was just recently watching this video put together by the Valpo Life guys and just had a couple things to chime in on to hopefully help them. I know they are just starting up with this format so probably still working on this but wanted to give a couple quick pointers that I hope [...]

Cybersquatted in a restaurant or how I wish they had SSL for conversations


Written by : Richard

Usually when you are worried about cybersquatters they are nameless people from cyberspace who are just doing it randomly, based off a misspelling, or who waited for you to accidentally forget to renew your domain. This is not one of those stories. This is the story of some local IT people who have pulled an [...]

Domain Theft – Hard Data


Written by : Richard

Instead of putting all this information into the main blog post I figured it would be nicer to just post all of the raw information here. The only modification done to this information was changing the domain to squatteddomain.com to protect the unfortunate restaurant that had this happen to them. Everything else is unchanged and [...]

When you reply via RT a kitten somewhere dies


Written by : Richard

I went through the history and basics of what a Retweet is last post which you can find here. That post was pretty vanilla and boring with all that information and no belittling of stupid people so lets correct that with this one. The first misuse I want to discuss is using the RT button [...]

Why the Synergizer?


Written by : Richard

It hit me that some people might not get why my name is the Synergizer here on Innovative Visionary. When the idea for this site popped up while talking with a couple locals I decided it would be cool to pick a buzzword that you absolutely hate and use that as your Superhero name. For [...]

The Agenda


Written by : The Incentivizer

In his many attempts to educate us all The Synegizer has been seen in all of his asshat glory.  He may be brash sometimes but his message is truth.  It may be the blunt,  but it’s the truth none the less.  New to the scene of the Social Media Experts that surround the web I [...]

One of these Tweeters is not like the other


Written by : Richard

To kind of run with this “praise over haze” theme I started with the last post, I decided to give a little of both with this post. While trying to follow a conversation on twitter (because some morons don’t get what a reply is and what a RT is) I happened to have 2 twitter [...]

The Innovative Visionary Revolution will not be televised


Written by : Richard

Hello all, and welcome to the site.  If you haven’t read the about yet please do so you can figure out what we are about. Okay back, cool.  Basically this is that first stupid intro post [...]
