marketing: An Excellent Blog Everyone Should Visit - 10/05/07 05:28 PM
Every once in a while I stumble across a really terrific and interesting website.
Strange Business is one of those sites.
It talks all about the fresh and interesting ways people are finding ways to start businesses.
That being said, all the business ideas are maybe not so fantastic.  Iggys House is one example, imho... What do you think??  Me?  In a nutshell: It's all fun and games until somebody loses and eye.

marketing: Widgets & Blidgets & Blogs - oh my! - 09/28/07 08:32 AM

If you would like a Blidget of your very own, go here to Widgetbox.
Isn't technology grand?

It's fast and easy to use, and the result is a nice, good-looking ad.  Unlike craigslist, the ads stays up for 60 days.  I imagine that will change as the site grows.
I haven't tried using postlets with it yet, but I bet it would work...

marketing: Nerd Alert: Easy - Add to your personal brand for free w/Favicons! - 12/17/06 03:12 AM
What is a Favicon, you ask?  Pronounced "fave-I-con" (like, you're favorite icon), it's that little picture that shows up instead of the blue "e" in Internet Explorer when you look up a webpage. All the newest, hippest website have them! ;)

There are a lot of marketing references in the world, for sure!
The 'new', hot method of growing business is permission-based marketing, also known as referrals.
For those interested, go look up a fellow called Seth Godin.  Below is a link to a video of a speech he gave to Google ... he says some interesting stuff.
Enjoy!
