I couldn't agree more Tyler, which is why I stopped doing video blogs myself!

Re: Corporate Eavesdropping on Twitter…Cool?

Apparently Comcast gets it when it comes to using Twitter to interact with customers. There was an article a couple of weeks ago and it appeared the Comcast rep was monitoring the public timeline.

I'm working with Direct Energy and I'm happy to see someone in Texas @DirectEnergyTX trying to emulate Comcast. Both companies have the same Customer Service reputation (bad).

From a Customer Service standpoint it would make sense to monitor the public timeline as a brand reputation exercise.

Thanks for the tip Hoaward, it couldn't come at a better time for me. I used to practically "live in" my contact manager (GoldMine) at my last job. Now that I am a freelance SEO COnsultant I lie on the web for 95% of my day. I amin the process of merging al of my contact info to one email address and it is the one I have Zentact attached to. Now when I surf the web I will have all of my contact info at my finger tips.

Thanks again Howard!

Re: Hear That Death Rattle? It’s Reality Knocking On The Door

I remember that time. I describe that period as going out west with the boom and coming home with the bust. I was working for UHaul and we couldn't keep up with the outflow of equipment to points east.

Thanks!

Excellent point Shey and I'm actually doing just what you recommend. I heard you comment at WordCamp today. When I came home I searched Twitter for all posts related to #wcto08 and added anyone I didn't already follow. Sorry, make that EVERYONE I didn't already follow. Why? To broaden my horizons beyond the usual suspects and to possibly engage in some new conversations ... like this one!

Great post Louis. I just started blogging regularly again. At best my previous efforts were hit and miss, but now I'm offering Daily SEO Tips so I feel it is important not to miss a day.

I decided to do the Daily SEO Tips to do exactly what you say NOT to do, push myself to pump out content on a regular basis. But I'm going to take your advice and I'll re-brand the tips, "newmediaMike's SEO Tips".

Yeah I've had to pay for air too.

Some oil companies would profit from our filling our tires with air. I was at a station the other day and the pump was $0.50!

newmediamike — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:22:55 -0000

I agree with omarismail, YAHOO still has it's market share. Perhaps what Carl Icahn needs to do is take control and shed some of the bloat that YAHOO has taken on over the years.

On another unrelated note, Matthew, I've tagged you in a meme on my blog.
