		<description><![CDATA[Being involved in the email marketing space for so long, one of the most confusing and misunderstood aspects of email marketing is inbox delivery. Different ESPs have their own way of explaining inbox delivery. In this post I will attempt to take away the jargon and explain the inbox delivery issue in plain English.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=giceo.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5917407&amp;post=211&amp;subd=giceo&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As of now, there are over 100 social media platforms out there, each with their own bias about originality and flavour. In reality, they differ from each other only in terms of graphics and layout. The underlying concept is pretty much the same across the board. However, there is a preference among users. Some like Facebook, others like Bebo while the other group is more into MySpace. Once you are convinced that your target market is using social media, the next step is to survey them and understand which particular platform they use more frequently. You may find that some people use multiple platforms (I am guilty). <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=giceo.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5917407&amp;post=175&amp;subd=giceo&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
