DISQUS

Since I started using TweetDeck, Twitter has become such a great tool on many levels. I use it for a lot more than just sharing my current activity.

Great post Chris.

How fast and how far the technology goes remains to be seen. It's still incredible what has already been achieved.

Seesmic reply from Thom Allen

@Jarom

Sorry about that, I just happen to be reading and posting when you commented :)

I did listen to your latest video, and it gave me some additional ideas. I will definitely be asking what the audience wants to discuss.

I think this should be a fun discussion.

Hey Jarom,

I look forward to meeting you at WABCON. Thanks for the offer. I'd love to hear what you would share? Web2.0 is a broad topic. Obviously I can't cover everything. What I will cover is the importance of interacting with customers via your web and social networks. The first half will be the important things a web site needs, and the second half will be about engaging your customers where their eyes are.

What are your thoughts? Things I should share? It would be great to have someone in the audience that can help spur some discussion, because I really want to interact with everyone there. Thanks for your help.

By the way, I tried sending you an email but it bounced.

@Sheri, hmm, that's a great question. Not really sure about specific focus, although I'm sure that is the case for some search engines. But I don't think Google works that way.

MSN and Yahoo for me were about the same. When people think of search, the think of Google, and I can say that just by looking at how people are getting to my site. Personally, I never use Yahoo or MSN. I think people who so use it because its part of their browser and not because they choose Yahoo over Google.

For me, I would really like to build some type of strategy around those numbers. Even if its not for monetary reasons, but how can I change the dynamics of my content, or can I attract a different set of visitors solely based on my content offerings.

I should do another Build A Better Blog In 31 Days series again. I've had a large amount of traffic from several posts in that series, specifically Create Catchy Blog Titles That Beg To Be Read.

@nolageek I can see that now. I'm having the same problem. Not sure why, I'll look at it and post a fix. Thanks for the heads up.

Great video Gary.

Honestly I think getting "everyone" into Social Networking with services like Tiwtter or Facebook is essential for making our business grow even more. Until "everyone" gets on board with these services, we need to work hard to make sure our online connections will recommend us their off-line friends.

@Laura, I hear you. I see many people struggling to keep their house, and it isn't all because they bought more house than they could afford.

The ironic part is what ever help the media has reporting as being available for those in trouble doesn't really exist. Mortgage companies just aren't lending.

I'm glad my 401(k) has been in a market account and not in stocks. I might have really lost everything. Maybe not, but I know it wouldn't be pretty.

I'm not a financial advisor or economic expert, I just know, from what I am feeling, at the pump, grocery store, and every day items, things cost more and my money isn't going as far as it used too.

People really are hunkering down. A lot of people are pulling back from spending their discretionary money and putting it away.

Hey Tawny, great response. I never thought about it that way, but then when I wrote this series I wasn't all that much into social networking, at least through blogs and social networks like Twitter or Facebook.

For me its the time factor. At first it was like a badge of honor. But then, I had to maintain the list, and honestly I wanted to display something other than more links to other sites.

Thanks Jesse. I've been trying to do this blog each day for a month, but as I concluded last night, some times I just don't really have any thing to say. So I agree, maybe less is more for me.

Oh, my bad, that was Facebook. Sorry.

Any change we can get a FriendFeed entry?

I noticed in lifestream you have an entry for friendfeed, however I don't see that as an option in the WordPress admin screen? Am I missing something? Thanks.

Mike, I couldn't agree more. It was a great place to take the Family, away from the casino. Very few of those places left.

And I am pretty sure the space will be taken over by the trendy shops, restaurants and clubs. Huge loss for Hilton.

Thom Allens last blog post..Nerdtacular 2008 Was A Blast

Joseph, I stand corrected, and have adjusted my post. I didn't really think through what I was trying to say, so I'll let the WordPress Blog say what I couldn't.

@Laura, yeah, it really blows. I wonder why CBS/Paramount can't keep this franchise from failing.

And yes, there would really be no other reason to visit Vegas anymore, except maybe Coke World :)

Ironic you just moved from Utah, I'm in Salt Lake, we didn't get to meet, and your road trip doesn't come here. too bad for both of us I guess.

Adam,

Yeah, never really got into the brass or wood instruments. I loved strings, there was a connection with the sound. I don't know, something. I do enjoy listening to a good Sax player though.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mike,

Embiggen, sorry man, I actually had to look that up. But glad I could help.

@JesseStay thanks for the comment

@Allan yeah, most of the time she's much tougher than I am. Thanks for the comment.

Agreed. After I watched it a few times I did notice he was limping a little, but man, if that's it, good for him.

He did race on Sunday and didn't appear to have any real problems.

I'm really excited too. I hope we get a lot of involvement from the WordPress Community.

Glad you like it/them... I'm behind on a lot of writing at the moment.

I would be glad to meet up at WHC. I'll look for you.

Ask away about the Marine, glad to do what I can.

Laura,

You are so right, I complete blew that. I am adding text to the original post explaining Mountain-Con.

@Bryce, right, those are the type of questions I thought about too. So I'll make a small list and see what I can do. Thanks.
