The new Facebook redesign will take some people by surprise and others will be just plain ticked off – we know that’s true, but just like in times past when FB made changes you will all have to get used to it.
Posterous is a blogging platform with a difference! At it’s simplest it is a blogging platform that allows you to post via email. Yes! that’s right via email. Just create your blog post in your email or in word, add your images and post it directly to Posterous.
This is cool! If you do not believe that social media is changing the way we do business this very cool Social Media Counter will prove it to you. Just watch the numbers roll!!!!!!

The whole theory of being a purple cow is summed up in this phrase, “the act of building things worth noticing right into your product or service. . . . If what you’re offering isn’t remarkable, it’s invisible.”
Your keywords need to be words used in ordinary (not industry) conversation about your niche, words the average person needed your service or product would use. One of the most invaluable tools to use is: ordinary people not associated with your niche, and that is where social media can be one of the most invaluable tools to use.
