I don't know that this is marketing discussion necessarily, but I don't care. This is about informing those that come to this blog.

This should be helpful. Do you have a website or blog that you'd like to track better? Check out Google's Webmaster Tools. They are free and easy to use, but if you don't know they are there, then they aren't much help.
A message that has been circulating on Facebook lately could just be some marketing hijinx by the company. The message says:
This is a great site if you are either looking to sell your blog/website or looking to buy one. Maybe you want to start a blog but would rather not start from scratch. Maybe you want to make money online but don't know where to start.
We like Facebook, we really do. It's fun, you can stay in contact with people that you want to stay in contact with without having to sit on the phone with them for hours at a time to find out what's going on in their life. You could be using that time to play Call of Duty online for god's sake.
Facebook is adopting more and more Twitter-style functions every day. Now, Facebook's version of the "re-tweet" is here. It's called the "via" function and you can now take someone else's status or comments and "re-tweet" them Facebook style via the via thing.
This is hilarious. It looks like you will be able to re-tweet stuff in your new Ford as they are adding Twitter to their new Sync system. Ok, actually you can't. But you will be able to hear tweets read to you aloud in upcoming Fords, Mercuries and Lincolns.
Facebook is making changes yet again. Faced with heavy criticism from privacy groups, Facebook will allow users to adjust their settings to that not everyone can view their list of friends.
The Onion is phenomenal. Their video section is an absolute must-see. Here is a great one on how parents of college-aged kids can effectively use Facebook and Twitter. See? We've been telling you for a while that you need to sign up!
Ever used LinkedIn.com to network for business? I highly recommend it. But it's important to do it right, and I have a tip that is a great way to meet people in a casual way: Join LinkedIn groups that have nothing to do with business.
It can be difficult to use the internet. Everyone talks about this internet thing, but what it is it? How do you get on it? Well, Gabe and Max are here to help:
Five great bullet points from DuctTapeMarketing.com on why you should use Twitter Lists.
1) Monitor without following - one of the things I like is that you can monitor a group of individuals in a list without having to follow any of the folks on the list on twitter. You may actually want to follow people you find on a list, but you may also want to monitor industry niche lists for a week or two while you’re pitching a new client in that industry. You can delete a list very easily, deleting hundreds of followers is harder.
2) One button list follow - the fact that you can find a list and follow the entire collection with one button makes it very easy to manage. I think this may become the chosen way to find people to follow. If someone you trust tells you about a list of people you should be following and all you have to do is hit one button to do so, you’re probably going to do it. I predict this feature is going to dramtically impact how people follow.
3) Promote your lists – this is such a great way for a group of people to promote each other on Twitter. You can promote your clients, your suppliers, your referral lunch group, you name it. Think about how great it would be to promote an event where you could follow all the speakers prior to the event, or what about all the attendees. You could create a list from sign-up details. In fact, what a great way to create collections of twitter folks that your employees should follow or even employee lists. The fact that it is so easy for people to follow a list by going to a URL – and that list can be edited by the owner at will, means a lot.
4) Filtered by an expert – Every business should consider creating a handful of Top 10 “fill in your narrow niche” to follow on twitter. By being the one that filters and creates easily sharable industry specific lists, you can add to your own credibility in the industry. (Did I mention you can add yourself to a list you create?)
5) Build a bigger following – Many of the ideas I mentioned above will naturally help you grow your own following. Creating a handful of useful list and promoting those lists in public places and to the members on the list will raise your exposure and lead to more follower.
Could this be the end of Follow Friday? Twitter now lets you group people you follow together, so people can go on your page and follow all of them with a single click.
Tom Rutledge, COO of Cablevision, said recently that his company is seeing a bounce back in ad revenue.
Here is an interesting article about how you can increase your online visibility with companies like TweetROI.
Yahoo's recent results have shown that their online ad revenue has stabilized. They won't go so far as to say that there has been a full recovery, but still, this is encouraging news.
Not surprisingly, in a recent study by ad network Chitika, Facebook proved to spawn the most loyal users to sites found on Facebook.
It's nice to see Bank of America doing well. Apparently, they received enough bailout money to launch a sufficient advertising/marketing campaign for their relatively newly acquired Merrill Lynch brand.
