Re: Twitter Meets Multi-Level Marketing = Tweetglide [Review]

Thanks for the input, Mike. Yeah, I did check that I'm an internet marketer, so perhaps that's why I saw all that.

I look forward to watching changes in the product. I'm really impressed to see you getting into this particular market.

Ironic... a name like "Loveless", yet I'm seeing all kinds of love here. This is awesome. Donation made, and all my best to her and her family.

You're kidding right?

Re: Twitter On Your Business Card – Duh!

drisley — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:44:11 -0000

These days, I really think a smart company would have their employees on Twitter. It would be different than your personal account. At the very least, put the corporate Twitter acct on there. But, look at a company like Zappos and how they use Twitter. It is very smart.

And it isn't arrogant to not remember everybody I met at a conference. I met several HUNDRED people at BlogWorld. Some gave me a card but didn't make a huge impression. What am I going to do, refuse the card? No. I'm going to take it and then look them up online when I get back. That's where Twitter comes in. It allows me to make a connection and build a potential relationship after the conference. If I want to.

In my opinion, entrepreneurs and companies need to look ahead, realize that Twitter is a new paradigm shift, that it is an important component to marketing, and that it is almost as ubiquitous as a cell phone number when you come to a conference like BlogWorld.

Not necessarily. There really isn't any reason you can't launch a membership program right away. They come in different sizes and complexities, and it makes for one hell of a first product.

Thanks for commenting. Yeah, keep doing what you're doing. I don't find it personally offensive at all. It just wasn't what I expected in that particular venue.

Rick,
There wasn't anything about the keynote which was personally offensive, don't get me wrong. I just found it really weird to have something like that at a conference. I was more the venue, not the content. Hope that's clear.

All in all, great job, Rick. I don't know how you manage to organize that event every year.

Nice to see you again, Darren. Next year, we've got to work on Yaro to see if we can get him there. I have yet to meet him in person. :)

I am one of you. :-) I put my pants on one leg at a time.

No, the Blogworld audience is pretty varied. Some advanced people, but a lot of newbies as well. Takes a certain level of dedication to get in a plane and come here, though, so these are good people. :-)

Yeah, Nathan and I exchanged a few text messages here. I'll definitely be meeting up with him. Will pas it on. :)

Yah dude. I'm flying into Vegas on Wednesday. Look forward to seeing you again.

Your daughter is a cutie. :)

How was Gnomedex? I attended the prior two years, but this year decided to skip it. Chris was one speaker I would have liked to see, which made it nice I got to see him in Orlando.

Re: Fighting The Wordpress Dragons

drisley — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 13:57:04 -0000

Yeah. first of all, you can turn that off by putting the following line of code into your wp-config.php file:

define ('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 0);

Secondly, I think the WP-Optimize plug-in has ability to remove all post revisions that already exist.

There is no answer for this. Its just a matter of maintaining Wordpress and optimizing your server. It isn't something you're going to have a really hard time with unless you have a high-traffic blog. And, by that point, chances are you'll know some people in the field who you can turn to. Often, just posting on Twitter for help will get you many volunteers.

I don't think my needs are yet high enough for a CDN, but the thought has crossed my mind.

I'm making a lot of videos these days, but they are all for my coaching students inside the Blog Masters Club. :)

Re: 5 Important Tips For Your Blogger Business Card

drisley — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 07:49:48 -0000

I would think so. The other thing to consider is my point about people remembering who you are after they get home. Speaking for myself, I am horrible with names but I remember faces. Having a picture on the card helps me put two and two together.

But, it is up to you. :) You won't notice a negative effect if you don't have a photo on your card.

I actually agree - we're not our minds. Personally, I believe we are three components. Spirit, mind, body. But, that topic is well outside the scope of this blog. :-)

Re: How This Problogger Is Dealing With Uncertain Economic Times

drisley — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:16:19 -0000

When I say "produce", I'm not referring to personal wealth. I'm referring to producing those products which you SELL to other people. So, what I'm saying is that you have to produce more overall value than you require to live.

Which do you think will be more secure? A person/company which produces in excess and over-delivered to it's customers? Or one focused on only producing what it needs for itself, just barely scraping by?

The house isn't paid for. We have a mortgage on it like most other people.

Re: Beware of Free Speech Infringement [Soapbox Talk]

I think the private sector can certify security professionals FAR better than the government.

And, you are right, this is not just because of Obama. These efforts have been in progress for some time. My fear is that they are simply seeing more light of day now. But, the same arguments and logic were used to ram the Patriot Act through.

Re: Beware of Free Speech Infringement [Soapbox Talk]

drisley — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:06:34 -0000

That's fine. This isn't an attack piece on Obama by any means. However, it is happening in his administration. And a "czar" is appointed by the President. So, at some point, you have to start asking questions, you know?

Re: Top 10 Signs You ARE Worth Following On Twitter

drisley — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:52:22 -0000

Very true, Mike. All these "systems" to get followers are being created and used by flakes who don't understand the true power of Twitter. It is about relationships, and if you think about money, it is relationship marketing. Having a big follower count is completely USELESS if they're not listening to you.
