Technorati Changing The Way It Does Business

February 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm » Comments (0)

Technorati has been an icon of the blogosphere since Dave Sifry began the company to track blogs and provide bloggers with statistics and search.  It was the first thing people downloaded to their blogs, and the first part of setting up a blog.  They seem to have lost that celebrity status.  There are so […]



Startup Companies Making Money From Free

February 20th, 2008 at 4:22 pm » Comments (1)

I have been thinking about the comment left on my post about Blog Talk Radio and their attempt at monetizing their application.  Then I read today over at HipMojo the article about why companies that are basing themselves on ad revenue will fail.  It helped me formulate my own opinion about how companies in the […]



Social Media Voo Doo You Do

February 18th, 2008 at 8:58 am » Comments (1)

There are many people that believe that social media is some sort of new religion.  In fact, many believe that adopting social media will somehow take them to the promise land, and make them successful beyond their wildest dreams.  This I’m afraid to say is not actually the case.
Joshua Porter has posted entitled “The Problem […]



Blog Talk Radio Learns Monetization and Forces Endorsements

February 15th, 2008 at 4:14 pm » Comments (5)

I am a really big fan of Blog Talk Radio and have met Alan Levy, John Havens, Lisa Padilla, their newest addition, Kris Smith, and have spoken to others in their organization.  They are a bunch of great people.  They have a super application that is easy to use, is free for its users, […]



We Live In A Google World

February 7th, 2008 at 10:28 am » Comments (1)

I have been preaching to people as long as I remember that “We live in a Google World.  I happened upon a post today by Owen Thomas (no I’m not a Valleywag reader, I thank Techmeme) about Google and its global market share.  He refers to a chart done by Efficient Frontier Insights showing the […]



New York Times Must Adapt or Die?

February 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 pm » Comments (0)

As I looked over some of my feeds in my RSS reader today I cam across a piece written by Marc Andreessen about the deathwatch of the New York Times.  His sarcasm in the piece makes it a fun read in spite of the message.  His take as I read it is that unless changes […]



Google: There is no mistaking their brand!

September 27th, 2007 at 10:57 am » Comments (0)

Today I have been reading about the fact that it is Google’s birthday.  Although there seems to be some confusion as to the age of Google and when exactly they consider the day they were actually born, there is no mistaking their brand.  The primary colors you see and the definite logo look no […]



Is Commenting On Blogs Part of Your Marketing Plan? Are Your Doing It Wrong?

September 26th, 2007 at 11:05 am » Comments (9)

Buried under the weight of my inbox and trying to filter the spam from the real stuff I needed to get to today, I ran across a comment on Bloggers For Hire:
I was reading around some of the posts here and I found interesting things that you guys talk about, I just made a blog […]



Searching For A Local Business: Old vs. New

September 10th, 2007 at 12:51 pm » Comments (1)

I can remember the first time I had my name appear in the phone book after I purchased my first home.  Like Steve Martin in the movie “The Jerk”, I danced around and shouted, “I’m somebody now”.  Back then of course, I think computers were something in sci-fi movies, and the Internet had not […]



The New Era of Social Media: The Growth Stage and Education

September 2nd, 2007 at 12:02 pm » Comments (1)

On the same vein as my lost post regarding a blogging hiccup or what I see as a new era of business blogging, we are now at a crossroad of corporate advertising, marketing and PR online.  There are many forward thinking companies that are early adopters, and especially in the technical world where technology is […]
