No, Email Isn’t Dead… Yet

Not yet anyway. This video talks about why people like Jason Calacanis and Shoemoney are now all of a sudden trying to build emails lists. Is it because they didn’t before, or because they’re just trying to be different? I don’t know. It all just seems a little silly to me. Again, I’m not saying [...]

The Secrets Of Facebook Marketing

Yep, you can do marketing in Facebook, according to Shama Hyder from Afterthelaunch.com. I always thought that marketing in Facebook was simply buying some Facebook flyers (like Google Adsense), but Shama told me that that was a very small part of it. We talked about how businesses should and could be marketing inside Facebook and [...]

Good News: Mark Cuban Doesn’t Want To Socialize With Me On Facebook

It seems Mark Cuban and I have something else in common. Neither of us want to use Facebook to “socialize”. I met Mark Cuban when I introduced him at the Blog World Expo in the fall of 2007. Video below. Am I his Facebook friend? I think so. I remember adding him after that because [...]

A Conversation With My Niece About Facebook

A few days ago I sorta quit Twittering, reading or writing. I’m still off the Twitter crack, for now, but now that I’m feeling refreshed like a summer’s breeze again, I am wondering if it’s time to just dump Facebook too. I’m like the Heat-Mizer of social tools! I swear this isn’t linkbait (Sam). You’ve [...]

FaceBook Flyers Are Like Google Adwords

I always wondered why Facebook was being valued so high. Then I read Shawn’s post about Facebook Flyers – The Next Google Adwords? Wow. Think about it. You can put pay-per-click ads into Facebook, and you can geo-target them by city, sex, political beliefs, etc… I’m going to test out a few Cleveland, Ohio based [...]

Affiliate Widgets In Facebook

Just got a notification that Chitika now has a Facebook application, and… they’re promoting it using an affiliate program. Pretty neat way of getting attention. It pays $1.00 per application added into Facebook. Here’s my code, if you wish to give me a dollar that is.

Facebook’s Secret Rate Card Exposed!

Valleywag has the story. Here’s the part I was interested in. The main question, though, is how much its sponsorship business can grow without offending users. Only one sponsored story can show up at a time on a user’s homepage, which limits inventory. And with Facebook apps now vying for users’ attention, will sponsored groups [...]

I Still Don’t “Get” Facebook, Do You?

I swear I’m trying. I log in every day and go to “home”, and I see stuff happening. But, honestly, I don’t know “what I’m supposed to do?” Am I supposed to just add new friends and send stupid gifts and leave messages? What exactly am I supposed to do? Is it supposed to replace [...]
