Re: Facebook Wave: Why Facebook Should Clone Google Wave

John Lessnau — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:39:07 -0000

You have it backwards. Wave is a clone of Facebook, just with more features. Facebook thrives on being simple enough so 12 year old school girls (and adults that act like them) can gossip with their friends.

Google wave is just another assault on gathering and controlling as much data as possible. They already know too much about me. Do I want them to know what I am working on in real time also?

Another way to monetize a blog is with LinkXL by selling links in content. A blog or site with lots of great content can do quite well.

Andy, you are in an envious position as far as loyal readers and followers. I am at the opposite end of the spectrum as you. I have the product and services but not the loyal "Social Marketing" followers. Combine both and you have a knockout punch, have one or the other and your ceiling is limited.

For you, now is the time to start leading the horses to water. Watch how Guy Kawasaki is leveraging his followers to promote his websites outside his blog and books.

Re: Why You Should Nofollow Your Blog Comments?

John Lessnau — Thu, 22 May 2008 16:01:04 -0000

I think it is rude and selfish to nofollow all blog comments. If people are kind enough to give you free content and participate in your discussions it is only proper to pay them back with a real link.

Re: Why You Should Avoid the Google Slap

If your a brand new site sometimes the only way to be found is to start out with paid links. To be safe, make sure you are buying links in content.

As your site becomes more established you can move away from paid links because you will start getting some natural links.

If you are buying links make sure to get links in content or contextual links. At www.LinkXL.com we are seeing more and more link buyers moving away from side bar and footer links to real links in content. Finally SEOs are catching on…

Re: Twitter Continues to Fail Developers, Why They Will Still Succeed

John Lessnau — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:16:47 -0000

It is unbelievable that someone with a bit of cash and some smarts does not developer a Twitter killer and put it out of its misery. It's not like they are serving Youtube sized files, they are serving simple text messages. The problem is they built the service on an unstable foundation and continue to patch holes and plug leaks while the foundation continues to crumble. The time is so right for someone with a few hundred thousand dollars to build a Twitter knock off that actually works.

Sounds like we were sitting right next to you but I paid much more a ticket off of Craigslist :-(

Kevin Willis and Steve Smith were one row down to our right. I did not see Spike Lee.

Would love to see the pictures.

I can't believe you forgot to mention installing Twitterdoodle: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitterdoodle/

It brings in relevant twitter content to your blog via mashup posts.

Re: Facebook Can’t Stomach Beer Pong

John Lessnau — Thu, 15 May 2008 19:00:06 -0000

This story disgusts me. Beer pong is way to easy and for sissies.

It takes nowhere near the athletic skill as a good game quarter bounce. I am surprised the CollegeHumor staff would play a drinking game involving so little skill. They are much better than that.

Google will be just fine for years to come. They certainly will not fall under their own weight.

Sure they will slow down in the years to come, but only because when they control most of the web and it's data their mission will be accomplished.

Us in the search industry have realized that Google moved to the dark side when they became profit obsessed. Their everyday user base is finally catching on.

Also, the economy has caused many advertising cut backs.
