personal branding: Sneak Peek: new Rain wallpaper, REsources, In The News... - 04/28/09 07:35 PM

 Hi guys, while I'm busy working in the background putting a whole bunch of new stuff together, I wanted to give you a sneak peek at a new Rain wallpaper that will be available soon.

 Think about it... now we can easily get our message across to clients & potential clients and totally bypass traditional media.
 Powerful marketing has gone from ultra expensive … (38 comments)

Seth Godin's BIG Mistake 

 
 Imagine waking up tomorrow and someone starts a conversation with you about your Twitter account but... you don't have a Twitter account! Believe it or not, this is what happened to marketing guru Seth Godin.
 In a post on February 2, 2008 Darren Rowse of Problogger mentioned his recent conversation with Seth Godin about his Twitter account and the 1400+ people following Seth on Twitter except Seth doesn't have a twitter account!
 Fortunately it just seems to be a fan or admirer who has set up the account and is simply "twittering" content from Seth's … (98 comments)

 Hi everyone... I hope you all had a safe, fun, amazing holiday season and that 2008 has been a good one so far. To start off the new year, I'd like to share a couple of things that caught my eye in the past few days.
 Probably the thing I like most about the internet, is the ease and ability it gives us to discover such a diversity of interesting info. The first "goodie" I'd like to share has nothing to do with marketing but since there are so many sharp cookies here on AR, I … (46 comments)
