DISQUS

I don't think you mentioned OutTwit by @TechHit. http://www.techhit.com/OutTwit/

Let's you incorporate twitter into an application you already know how to use - Outlook (2003 or 2007). Sort by name, date, flag, category and so forth, as well as save RTs and DTs with other sent messages; copy tweets into calendars, journals and tasks. Easy to install and use, IMO.

Windows Users Tip: Before installing any program be sure to create a System Restore point. Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. If you happen to install a corrupt file (or the installation otherwise messes up your registry) restore back to this System Restore point and get back your working PC.

I thought I was alone!

I have often come across the same as you - transcripts of someone's first teleclass being sold as a stand alone product.

In fact, there are many out there who have built up their own practice by touting this exact process as the way to make money "on line".

Unfortunately, what the eager beavers miss is exactly what you state - rather than earn income from the class, build their credibility with those who pay for their products and thereby increase their recurring sales and presence - they leave their customers feeling more like "I paid how much for this?!"

Also, the same people who provide their unedited transcripts as books also have a tendancy to offer up their unedited teleclasses as a "podcast".

Just like a transcript is not a book or guide, recording a teleclass and posting it on line does not make it a "podcast". A podcast is professionally produced with music, an appropriate intro, all the filler words (ums, ahs, etc.) edited out, etc.

I hope your readers realize that with the investment of a few dollars on editing - informational products can be wonderful practice building tools for service professionals.

Cheers!
