			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone! After a 3-year break to blogging, I&#8217;m back <img src='http://thebluebear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>When I was authoring my old blog &#8211; neomarketing, I was initially a masters student at the Northwestern Univeristy, and  usually talked about the new marketing concepts and trends&#8230;</p>
<p>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&#8230;</p>
<p>Later on, I found myself starting a startup with a bunch of CS grads, and, oh well &#8212; no more time for blogging, so I killed my neomarketing blog. I&#8217;ll admit that I didn&#8217;t much enjoy the way that the word &#8220;marketing&#8221; frames and limits my blogging practice, so who knows, maybe this was something good.</p>
<p>Years passed, much changed in my life (i.e. now I&#8217;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 &#8220;personal flavor&#8221; <img src='http://thebluebear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Here, I&#8217;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&#8217;ing (yes, I love to play with my turntables) and some other personal stuff.</p>
<p>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&#8217;d love to hear your comments. Finally, feel free to take a look at the <a href="http://thebluebear.com/about/">About Section</a> to learn more about me and what I stand for&#8230;</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>-Onur</p>
