So you see, Twitter is really more than what you think it is. Maybe you have heard about Twitter but then you are never conscious of the fact that it can also be used in businesses.

One of the reasons web logs are popular for marketing is they allow users to provide content that is updated frequently. You can post daily, weekly or monthly.

As I argue in my essay Individual Branding the web presents important and amazing new possibilities for individuals to earn money and much of that potential will flow from one’s online reputation.

Personal knowledge management (PKM) is something that we all do all the time, but often take for granted. I suppose, in that respect, it’s not unlike the other 2 KMs, Big KM and Little KM . There is always (has always been) some kind of KM going around, but until it was brought into the foreground as a distinct topic we did not approach it intentionally.

Turns out Twitter’s worth a billion dollars , although it hasn’t made even one cent in profit. This valuation is based on investor funding. So . . . we’ve been in a recession, where people have lost jobs, businesses are failing, automakers are slashing prices to the bone to move their cars off the lot and various industries are seeking congressional bailouts. But Twitter is getting tons of money from someone and is worth a billion dollars. Conclusion: economics and finance are bullsh*t.

First an update on my last one : Service – External Links Article Marketer – 10 Article Marketing Automation – 12 Unique Article Wizard – 34 ISnare – 40 AMA + IS + UAW (Combo) – 57 Test #3 With article marketing test #3, I’m going to be promoting in a different niche and I’m curious to see how the results compare to the results from my first two tests.

October 5, 2009 From Melayu (Malay) to Sawojaya by Azly Rahman “History is bunk”: Henry Ford, American inventor Leader of Bangsa Sawojaya What if the Malays undergo a conscious and mandated name-change – from Melayu or Malay to Sawojaya?

A few weeks ago we had a visitor at the Googleplex: Rob Hof , the Silicon Valley bureau chief at BusinessWeek . Rob talked to a bunch of Googlers and sat in on one of our weekly quality-leads meetings. The resulting story is out now . The first part of the story covers some of the challenges facing Google, but the second part gets into more detail than we normally get into. What’s even more interesting is that BusinessWeek put up transcripts of some of the interviews.

I’m in Minneapolis to speak and attend the MIMA Summit 09 and here’s what I’ll see and what I think, beforehand (I’ll let you know if anything new and unexpected comes up) afterwards.  It’ll be interesting if I can cover the what I expect to hear, and see how much of it is different. In the morning Jackie Huba will be speaking about user generated content which is ranking higher in search engines than corporate content for a brand (no surprise here, corporate content is often pretty poor for SEO).  Just met Jackie briefly tonight at the pre-reception party – didn’t ask what she’s actually going to speak to – we’ll find out in the morning.

The revelation was somewhat unintentional: video podcasters Arnt Eriksen and Thomas Moen were interviewing Rose during the FOWA conference in London and spotted him playing with the new app.
