in Twitter Better: 20 Ways to Filter Your Tweets on Mashable - The Social Media Guide
You can assume the identity of any other twitter follower and see what links they see as well?

Don't know if that's un-nerving or 'way cool....

Josh Catone Well, you can't actually do anything as them, just see which links the people they are following are tweeting about. All that info is public, it would just be hard (very hard) to aggregate it all by hand. So MicroPlaza automates the process.

My vote goes to "way cool" :D

in How @loumongello turned vacation at Disney World into riches on Scobleizer
Tying in one's brand so toes are not stomped upon is a superb win-win as well - the company gets the passion of the individual entrepreneur who sings their praises, while th entrepreneur gets tons of targeted publicity as well. Nicely done.

in Google Getting Twitterpated? on Marketing Pilgrim
Of course Google will - it only makes sense. Twitter is beyond popular and Google is smart - it sees what people like and builds it itself. 'course, sometimes they don't catch on (ie, Orkut for the masses) but who knows....

in Twitter Plans to Squash Google’s Spider? on Marketing Pilgrim
Definitely a smart move on Twitter's part. The trending tool is somethng that can help people predict what will be popular (monetarily wise as well) in the near future - that's something quite valuable indeed.

in Hidden Answers To Make a 6 Figure Income Online Revealed on Asher Awesome Blog | Make Money Online | Work From Home |
I like this post, especially: Most likely you won’t have an answer. However, if you took out a piece of paper and worked on it, eventually, you will have an answer. Likewise, have you worked out what your final goal will be on a piece of paper and stuck to the formula of achieving it?

Very telling point, that is. Barbara

While I can see the benefits of this, it does kinda sorta creep some customers out that supposedly anonymous searches are, well, not anonymous at all. :-/

Very useful post. I remember discussions like this long long ago during the reign of Usenet and Netnews...and it's sad when the honest fact-finding gets hit by lawyers who demand the removal of your experiences.

Wow, I know of some marketers who will be most unhappy with that. I've long since moved away from Adsense myself in favor of eBay/Amazon...should be interesting to see how things develop.

in What An Executive Blog Editor Needs to Know on Chris Brogan
My favorite part of your post:

"Create exceptional pieces that drive the business forward, or don’t bother."

Driving business (or even goals) forward - it all comes down to that.

In a word, wow. Logically, it certainly makes sense but when one thinks of Google employment, one usually thinks "perks" not, "job go byebye."

It's going to get a LOT worse before it gets better, alas. That's why every online user should know the basics of spyware discovery/removal at the very least. It's just good business sense.

in Different Way to Make Money Online Out Of Your Personal Problems on Marketing Business Review
The challenge with autoblogging sites is often Google will shut them down. I've had that happen to me on several occasions.

You can also use eBay as a great affiliate program - they have lots of useful widgets you can incorporate seamlessly into your site.

in Why Facebook has never listened and why it definitely won’t start now on Scobleizer
Totally, completely agree. It always amuses me when FB users whine about new changes - FB is in it to make money long term. So they do what will bring them towards that goal. Good job I say!

in Say What You Want on Chris Brogan
Ever since I worked as a hostess at McD when I was 16 (my first job!), I've been fascinated by how the whole franchise is run. Ray Kroc (person who bought out the McDonalds brothers in the 1950s and turned McD into what it is today) wrote a book entitled 'Grinding It Out' - lots of great business ideas are hidden within it.

in Growth Is Not an Issue for Twitter on Marketing Pilgrim
I'd be willing to bet my next batch of moose fur (Moose Major is currently shedding all over the place) that Twitter will hold out until a few bazillion people use it...and then sell. It makes great business sense.

Facebook sees the competition has a good thing going, and decides to try and "level" the playing field. It could be good business sense on their part.
