White Paper 2014
Not long ago, one of my buddies “published” a white paper on social media. I grabbed the report, no opt-in required, and I scanned the pages. Ran ten, maybe a dozen pages with less than a paragraph on each page, certainly less than a thousand words, in total.
Nothing new in the information, although, it was dedicated to a segmented market, a vertical niche, and as such, it was the same material with generic phrases replaced by niche-specific buzz words.
Social media, new media, more modern marketing techniques, nothing new or earth-shaking, but the package was interesting in itself. Nice layout if somewhat generic. Color and patterns made no sense to me, but then, I’m not a highly sought after marketing consultant — I’m an astrologer. What was curious, the package showed up online in various locations, mostly “social media,” at least three or four times for several days.
I grabbed the first exposure, old buddy, respect some of his work. To see it launched time and again, not unlike what I do on FaceBook or Twitter, and served to validate my choices in those arenas. Then, too, it gave me an idea:

Unbiased Reviews?
Never claimed to be unbiased. That’s part of what my career and main canon of work revolves around, my lack of bias.
What I tend to do is not bother to review material I don’t like; therefore, not many negative reviews around here.
Tridents
Tridents found in the UK, but matching other finds.
Agricultural? Defensive? Not mentioned?
Ceremonial. Bet that’s it.
