Yes its true… if you don’t Twit you’ll die! Well in the same way that you’ll eventually die anyways… So bad news is… we’re all going to die (someday) but you can Twit and enjoy yourself along the way right? Now I know that I’ve talked about Twitter at least a handful of times on this site and several times on SEO 101. So why the special post? I was just really enjoying the fact that a big part of my job is social media and talking to AWESOME tweeple on a daily basis. So I thought I’d just share a few of the Gems that came across my desk today!
A new Gphone? like the iPhone only all Googley? Schweeeeeeet!
Yes the rumors are true… I’m going in-house SEO after several years of consulting and working on web-dev teams to help clients achieve their goals. While this is an informal blog post covering / wrapping up most of what’s going down… I will come back and show ya the new office and my Team of Kick ASS Tweeple (they’re all on twitter now)
For the time being; I really hate doing it this way… but I’m really trying to conserve time & energy whilst wrapping up all of my loose ends so… here goes. If you are on my list of people that need my attention for a project that we are currently working on or one that has been in the bidding process… DO NOT pass go… do not collect $200… pick up that phone and call / email me today. I will no longer be bidding on or taking on any new clients. Those of you that are under contract are still fine.
What does this mean? We will still have valuable SEO information and goodies on here - probably more! Cshel / Robert / Rob / & Brian will still be around - Speaking of Brian he was in a Tennis tourney this weekend you can check out here -
Rob Crazy Prediction #543336643307a - Internet users are getting more web and computer comfortable everyday; we are also getting more adapted to ignoring advertisements. Like billboards along the interstate, frequent travelers on the information superhighway - created by my friend Al Gore - are rarely attracted to or distracted by the banners passing by them on their journey. The BLUF (bottom line up front) being that with the buzz of social networks and media, there has been a boom in online advertising, but the inflation of expectations will likely soon lead to implosion of monies spent. Huh?
There are some wonderful success stories for companies with good websites and great search engine marketing. Those SEO savvy company and website owners are like those unique individual results that the 3 a.m. infomercials make you believe anyone can lose 65 pounds in six weeks - uh, no! You need to diet and exercise to achieve your goals, and you need to have solid SEO and link bait to successfully be an advertisement publisher. When is the last time you were on MySpace or FaceBook and clicked an ad?
The point being, the billions that are being spent online is an inflated market, currently in favor advertising publishers; but, the market is overly saturated and inflated, and with ether travelers becoming more innocuous to banners and billboards. Social networking and social media websites will prove this point faster than other niches, in my opinion, crashing their worth faster than Yahoo! stock.
Okay, so many of my closest friends, colleagues et al, reading only that headline would deny it came from me. I can hear David now, ” … there’s no way that Demo-lib-tree-hugging-pacifist Rob Mineo would say ‘Yes’ to a National ID Card!” However, if Hurricane Katrine forever blemished my view of the current presidential administration, it forever swayed my view for the need of a National ID Card.
As I joined hundreds of millions of world-wide citizens looking on in horror at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, feeling hopeless to do anything except give what we could to the Red Cross, I became convinced that a National ID Card would have greatly aided the thousands of families left wondering about their loved ones. As people entered into the stadium, other shelters, or even other cities, FEMA representatives or local officials could have easily tracked our fellow citizens’ well-being and whereabouts as necessary under the circumstances. Imagine walking into an American Red Cross shelter, swiping your ID card, no different than you swipe a card at the airport to prove identity, and immediately being put into a database showing your location (New Orleans, Houston, etc.). That same information also acts, unfortunately, as a list of who may yet not be accounted for or found as of yet.
cute name too btw!
