Facebook Fan Join Button Is Now a Like Button or Do You Not Follow?
Apr 27th
Are you a person who has a hard time with change. Maybe you didn’t vote for “Change” in the last big election season or, maybe as you get older you are just getting to the place where you would just like things to stay the same for a week or two, maybe a month or so.
If you are going to be running a business online using the tools of Social Media for marketing you need to get used to things changing fast… even if you don’t like that. I share that with you because I need to remember that for myself, case in point….
I was busy last week getting ready to fly out to Chicago to run a video crew to record a four day event and so I missed this “little” change that Facebook pulled off on April 19th. Over the weekend when I logged into my Facebook account to checkup on a couple friends (yes real friends that posted something I needed to read) I saw this message…
I had time today to do a little research and now I see that the Facebook programmers have been at it again… messing with what I had finally managed to learn. Here is the explanation that Facebook gives for the change.
Why did “Become a Fan” change to “Like”?
To improve your experience and promote consistency across the site, we…
To improve your experience and promote consistency across the site, we’ve changed the language for Pages from “Fan” to “Like.” We believe this change offers you a more light-weight and standard way to connect with people, things and topics in which you are interested.
So do you understand now? Maybe they should have called this a “Follow” button rather than Like as you might want to click on a person, business, political party, music group or any number of other Facebook Pages that you want to look at or follow along to see what they are posting but, you may not truly LIKE them.
So maybe folks didn’t want to JOIN something but perhaps they don’t want to LIKE it either. If you were the Facebook god/goddess (programmers) what do you think this should be called?

Biz Stone founder of Twitter.com to Share Business Plan This Week
Apr 12th
For the past several months Tweets and other discussions have floated around the Internet regarding Twitter.com founder Biz Stone and co-founder Evan Williams revealing their plans for monetization of Twitter. Last month at the Las Vegas Wireless show CNBC interviewed Biz Stone about their plans.
Today on CNBC the Harvard Business School students talked about what their ideas would be for a good business plan for Twitter.com. One concern the Harvard Business School students, as well as other uses of Twitter have is, how might advertising effect or possibly disrupt Twitter uses online and mobile experience.
Twitter along with other Social Media tools like Facebook.com have become a new way for businesses to get their message out to the public, connect with current customers, and to protect their brand by monitoring the talk about their businesses online.
If you are not using Social Media tools like Twitter.com, Facebook.com, LinkedIn.com and others in your business… you are getting left behind. Want to learn how to use these tools for your business? Contact me to arrange a free consultation.
What’s the Buzz about Google Buzz? Privacy Nightmare!
Feb 10th
I opened my Gmail account this afternoon which I mostly use a place to access the links to Google Calendar and Google Docs and I noticed a new button below my Inbox button on my Gmail page. Then I remembered seeing some Google Ad page that filled my screen earlier in the day which, while on a phone call and checking email in Outlook (multitasking as usual) I just clicked some button to say like “No Thanks” and got to my Gmail page.
I almost forgot about that dumb ad page until I noticed a Trending item on my Twitter page tonight… Google Buzz
Wow, is that a Hot Item and lots of people are upset with Google about this new “feature” that the Google boys (and girls) think is soooo coollll. Most folks thinks it stinks!
Checkout these blogs and postings to see what the Internet-universe thinks of Google today.
Molly Wood says, “I know some of the technorati are losing their minds over the awesomeness that is Google Buzz, but I think that Google’s making a lot of Facebook’s privacy and opt-in mistakes right out of the gate, and it’s going to bite it big-time, if it doesn’t fix it pronto.” READ MORE HERE
At the Official Google Blog, “”Today, we’re launching Google Buzz, a new way to start conversations about the things you find interesting and share updates, photos, videos and more. Buzz is built right into Gmail, so there’s nothing to set up — you’re automatically following the people you email and chat with the most.” READ MORE HERE
Business Insider says, “There is a huge privacy flaw in Google’s new Twitter/Facebook competitor, Google Buzz. When you first go into Google Buzz, it automatically sets you up with followers and people to follow.” READ MORE HERE
And over at Computer World, what’s that about a Naked Man?? “The second thing I saw was a list of public “buzzes” from people in my immediate area (including somebody who obligingly mentioned that he wasn’t wearing any clothes). Under each buzz was the person’s location — not the general location, but the full address. Street number, street name, city, state.” READ MORE HERE
Ok, so I think you get the idea, Google Buzz in the current form that has been pushed out on the world in the past 24-48 hours is a stinker.
If you want to turn it off, as I did, there is a button at the bottom or your Gmail page.

FREE Video Reveals #1 Secret to Online Success
Oct 16th
My good friend and business associate Jeff Mills has just updated his content and is giving away a FREE CD to teach you about Outsourcing your online business and working with Virtual Assistants.
From writing articles, doing Pay Per Click marketing, doing videos, setting up a WordPress blog, or forum marketing, we believe we have to know it all and do it all. According to Jeff, most marketers fail because their organizational chart is filled with nothing but ‘YOU’. While it’s possible for us to know everything, it’s also not very realistic if we want a life. Working from home or running an internet business was about creating more time freedom for ourselves, not less.
The solution that Jeff has for all this? Easy. Outsource your work to the skills, talents and special abilities others. Most are not even aware that there are websites that are devoted to people offering their services for hire at decent rates. Everything that you could possibly want done in your business, you can pay someone to do it for you at a price much lower than you think.
For the past couple years I have been learning these principles from Jeff and have found them to work well for my own online business. I have my own full-time WordPress and website techie doing my client work… enjoying what he does and the money I pay him… and I don’t have to do it all myself.
You need to get a copy of Jeff’s FREE CD and learn how to do this yourself.

Discover How to Make Money with PLR eBooks
Jun 9th
I have been watching the pre-release videos for this for a couple weeks now and finally the day has come when we all get to see this exciting new system from Socrates.
I believe that today will be remembered as the day that Internet Marketing Changed forever and gave a new level of freedom to those who are serious about wanting to start their own simple home based business!
Never before in history were you able to just “THINK” of a product and have it delivered to you in LESS than *one* minute.
Breakthroughs that make a REAL difference in peoples’ businesses rarely happen, and this is clearly one of them.
If you were given the power to click a button today and almost instantly find a product in *ANY* niche that you can sell as your own, that would obviously be HUGE right?
That is precisely what this new tool does for you.
It’s actually the largest, SEARCHABLE database of resell rights & private label rights products on the planet!
It is called Resell Rights Fortune and it just opened its doors for a limited number of people TODAY. You need to look at this now and discover for yourself how easy this can be.
Here is a small sample of the things Resell Rights Fortune will give you immediately:
- Get your own product in seconds
- Never pay for another product, ever
(All the new products are bought for you)
- Make more profits faster
- Build a huge targeted list easily
Obviously this resource is going to give you a significant edge over the competition. It is like having access to all Resell Rights Products ever created or that will be created in the future.
I know you probably read a lot of websites and get emails hyping up the next “big thing”. If you dismiss this thinking it’s just another ho-hum offer, you’ll be making an enormous mistake.
It took Socrates and his team14 months and over $54,300 to build this system and hunt down all the products.
Give it a try for yourself today. You have nothing to loose and financial freedom to be gained.
