Hello World!

Hi everyone! After a 3-year break to blogging, I’m back :)

When I was authoring my old blog – neomarketing, I was initially a masters student at the Northwestern Univeristy, and  usually talked about the new marketing concepts and trends…

With the web2.0 boom (2006) and the rise of the new-generation start-ups, I enthusiastically started auditioning myself to the Bay-area start-ups. So I also started writing about the events I participated, start-ups that I like, their business models, and so on…

Later on, I found myself starting a startup with a bunch of CS grads, and, oh well — no more time for blogging, so I killed my neomarketing blog. I’ll admit that I didn’t much enjoy the way that the word “marketing” frames and limits my blogging practice, so who knows, maybe this was something good.

Years passed, much changed in my life (i.e. now I’m living in Istanbul), and finally I have some spare time to start a new blog. This one, I promise, will be more colorful, and will have a more “personal flavor” :) Here, I’m planning to share my random musings, and various thoughts on new-media, user experience, entrepreneurship, and yea, marketing, too. Eventually, I will also add my Professional Portfolio, a section on music and DJ’ing (yes, I love to play with my turntables) and some other personal stuff.

I encourage you to keep up with the updates: please check the widget on top-right and subscribe via RSS, emails, or Twitter. If you have any feedback about this site, I’d love to hear your comments. Finally, feel free to take a look at the About Section to learn more about me and what I stand for…

Cheers,

-Onur
