Three Tools Every Web Person Needs

After yesterdays post on some simple SEO (search engine optimization) tools, I thought why not post about a few tools that every web person needs. FireFox OK, so you probably already have this one, and it’s not really tool, but for the web developer tool bar, you’ll need FireFox to run it. Besides, 3.5 just came out [...]

Yesterday (July 2, 2009) I saw Chris Kenworthy give a presentation on SEO (search engine optimization) at Webuquerque. It was a great presentation and Chris really knows what hes talking about, but it prompted me to share a few tools that anyone can use to take care of the low hanging fruit of on-site SEO [...]

Customer Service is becoming more about the customer. (cluetrainplus10)

My post for cluetrainplus10 - 85. When we have questions we turn to each other for answers. If you didn't have such a tight rein on "your people" maybe they'd be among the people we'd turn to.

Is Social Media the New Branding?

There is quite a conversation going on right now in the marketing departments across America. There seems to be a new (well … sort of new) bright shiny object that seems to be causing some trouble. It’s called social media. With Comcast and Zappos on Twitter and Nike on Facebook, social media is the place to [...]

Why the best thing to happen to the Blogosphere is Twitter

Twitter is a very powerful, and as of late, popular tool for the online crowd. Twitter is really nothing more that a one-to-many message service that restricts posts to 140 characters, and has been called everything from the new billboard to micro-blogging.  Twitter is used a little differently by everyone; some use it as it [...]

Once again, I have to disagree. I'm having a hard time seeing how Facebook is not a business medium. According to Dr. Peter Drucker a business has only two functions, marketing and innovation. Marketing is the unique function of a business and inc...

Twitter, like most social media as a business communication channel is most related to direct marketing than interruption advertising. Twitter is pull medium, not a push medium. The chances of growing a business online ONLY from twitter is not lik...

In its simplest terms, yes I think twitter is a great business tool for 2 primary reasons: 1. great source of data (real time search that gives insights into trends and timing, AND 2. customer service The more channels you have for you customers...

Sure. Do you know when you'll be making your choice? It's easier to rally the troops if they've got a deadline

Reid,

I appreciate the input. Hadn't seen the book, so I'm glad you brought it to my attention.

Thanks,
Bill

Reid,

I met you last night at the Web Geeks' gathering. You mentioned a book that you thought was helpful which detailed how to sell your services on the internet if you're a developer/webmaster. I think you said the book was titled " All the Web", but I'm not sure. You mentioned that you used some ideas in this book to assist you with the set-up of your company.


Could you give me the title?

Thanks,
Bill

If adding my feed to friend feed is something that I do, then no, I haven't. :) I'll look into it.

Thanks for coming :)
