DISQUS

Tim, that was a very informative post and reminds me of haggling in Cairo. I got a great deal because I didn't want what the vendor was selling (really did, but anyway). Using these techniques and going in with a plan will save you lots of money on any item with a soft price. Don't forget that you can even get good price cuts at stores like Wal-Mart and Best Buy.

Looks great Tim. I personal like the Warren Buffett post, well, because I followed your advice and got a postcard from him (linked to in your post). I can't wait for a new release of the 4HWW having taken so much of the first one to heart. I have made huge life changes and have succeeded 10 fold since then, in part to the info you offered along with others. Keep up the great work.

I have two identical Mirra chairs one for the office (came with the position :) and one for the home office. I wouldn't trade them for the world. You'd have to pry them out of my hands before I would give them up. I have noticed a huge burst of productivity not bogged down by lower back pain or discomfort. Nice post.

i will take one of those with or without the coating, would prefer the coating tho

Happy Birthday Laura, thanks for sharing Justin with us.

Good luck Tim. I did a post and got it on all of my social media channels. Shall I write the heads of History Channel for you..? Looks like an awesome show I know I will be watching.

That is so true and when the big break down happens you will gladly take it to that shop. Plus, look at the word of mouth that you give to that business. I am sure you have referred others like yourself in that area to that same mechanic.

@Eric, RSS can be used for a lot more than just blogs too. I setup Ping.fm to auto update all of my social networking sites. Since I don't have to log in to update those sites I subscribe to the site's feed through RSS like Facebook. That way if someone replies to my status change I can immediately respond to that person. In essence automating updating and repling as much as possible. Tapping into little things like that let people manage a much bigger footprint on the net in social media terms.

Thank you for writing this blog. Gary is a hoot to listen to and you really found some timeless information. Thanks for sharing.

I love the video it is so true that most are that clueless when it comes to interaction and communication between businesses and clients (and employees).

I think I just might buy on of those instead, you know it is the whole time vs money thing. Bikes are just annoying to have because they are so awkward to store.

Can I just send my laptop to you and have all of these installed on it. Ha. I want a hack to have internet on my laptop anywhere in the US any suggestions?

I really do wonder how much money was spent on the battle between blue-ray and highdef whatever that lost the battle. I am surprised microsoft didnt win with their vast sums of money.

I think you need to write these into an ebook and sell them, normal ppl dont think to hack wordpress to increase their adsence ctr.

I think it is officially over for them now that they are bankrupt. I haven't been in one of those store since I was about 7 yrs old.

FF is awesome and I don't doubt one bit that they have gained huge market share, no only if chrome allowed extensions and plugins it might be the next to compete. Somehow I think Chrome is being setup to cram lots of google ads into their own browser down the road.

max that is awesome I love the new look of everything and how well it functions

@Tiffany,

I agree that nothing replaces the full interaction. I approach this more from the angle of the little things like updating my status to: "josh: really doesn't like moving." I do it once with Ping.fm and all my sites are updated, if someone replies I can continue that conversation on Facebook or whatever.

As for the ASP (autosocialposter) that is purely for backlinks to my post. I wrote about Seth Godin Tribes right when it came out and because of that Plugin I ranked higher than his blog and Amazon.com because I had those instant backlinks. This isnt the case anymore but it did provide a flood of traffic.

You nailed it, what a great comparison to dancing on the ballroom floor. That is great way to explain web content to people who are on the bubble of what they should really be doing.

All I can say is that Gary is such a pimp. He really knows how to lay it out in a way that makes since, no bs and is spot on. A lot to learn from that guy. I just got into Seesmic because of him and not offer video commenting on my blog, who knows whats in story.

I am so glad I never had to get any payday loans, I met a guy who ran one and was completely repulsed. I think it is a form or usury to the highest level. Cool Video.

I think you nailed it right on the head here. So much of "for your protection" is a nothing more than a scare tactic. Credits cards have proven to spend between 12-14% more than cash or check. I am sure the CC companies have a vested interest in seeing people use them.

Nice and informative post about Twitter, I have only recently gotten into Twitter and now see the huge potential in it.

Welcome back, funny I just saw hubspot site a little earlier today, must be a sign. ;)

I would in addition to having an RSS subscription have some type of newsletter subscription. I know it is rare but I have heard of people loosing their whole RSS list because it is out of their control. A newsletter in addition is a good touch. I think you did a great job laying out what a RSS is an the best way to visualize it.
