• More Than Just Teen Spirit: The Moment Nirvana Changed My Life by Cory Treffiletti (Media Insider on 03/01/2023)
  

  I remember the first time i saw a Guns N Roses patch on the back of a jean jacket.  It was on a guy in my school and he was a hard-edged guy.  That being said he was a musical trail blazer too.

• Do We Really Need Twitter? by Cory Treffiletti (Media Insider on 12/21/2022)
  

  You are pretty upset about my column, Dan.  I am sorry to hear that.  If it makes you feel any better, I do not coordinate my column with the rest of the editorial staff at Mediapost.  What i write is my personal opinion, which works well in a column such as this one.  I have been writing in that fashion for 23 years.Everyone is entitled to their personal opinion, and I am happy that you are able to voice yours in the comments as well.  Have a good holiday!And to be clear, I am a supporter of anyone being able to voice their opinion.  I just think Twitter has run its course and some other platform could step in at some point.  Just ask MySpace.

• Are All Video Views Created Equal? by Cory Treffiletti (Media Insider on 09/15/2020)
  

  Hey Ed.  As always, i value your opinion.  I do have to disagree on the video views.  Online is still a lean forward medium whereas broadcast is still a lean back.  I think the lean forward mechanism and the skippable formats make for a clearer understanding of engagement.  In broadcast, I can pick up my phone and stop paying attention at any minute.  Online, I can just wait the 5 seconds to skip unless the ad is interesting to me.

  Paula Lynn.   I don't know what to say.  This is the first time in many, many years that you didn't bash me on here and refer to my article in a way that made me sound dumb.  Thanks!  :-)
