Dive into web 2.0ol
3.October 2008 11:26
This is my first Blog. I’ve logged in the woods and into a computer but never blogged. Does the B in Blog stand for Blah, Blah, Blah , Blah? Like a logging of Blah, blah…? This is a real question. Anyways, my story begins in a small southern town on the wrong side of the tracks… Sorry, wrong story.
Web 2.0, is it grammatically correct to start a sentence with a Link?
Warning: I will not be parenthesizing!
I’ll start from the top, Web 2.0 is overwhelming at first, like dipping your toe in an unheated pool. These are the worries; Where do I start? How much personal information should I really post on the internet? Does my facebookmake me look fat? These are all concerns I share with you, you being the newbies. I had a Myspace back in the good ol’ days but it seemed a little like your own locker in high school.
So why would a self proclaimed 3rd degree master of marketing the american way dive back into this pool party like somebody added massive amounts of cherry Jello sugar powder? and that is the question. Why did Brad Pitt wear a chicken costume and wander the streets of Hollywood? Why do spiders build webs? Why does somebody raise their hand in class? Why did the Seattle Supersonics have to move to (unamed); it still stings a little to say or write. It all has to do with Google, kind of like the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon, or shaking hands with everybody in Dallas (the city). Now if you could do Dallas in one sitting that would be impressive but most people need to set up an old fashion pyramid scheme. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know or more like what you know about who you know or how you know who you know or who of you know what I’m actaully saying right now.
Are people that Tweet called Twitters or Twits? Can 1 person be called a Twitter if the are Tweeting? In all of my perusing for SEM applicable applications, I found using Facebook as a hub gave me the weekest excuse to spend hours posting and updating, and… My face book has almost every over the counter app syndicated to it that Facebook allows. I know there’s a strategic space in my first face book in the last sentence. But I don’t know if that matters. I love Del.icio.us , I wish I had always had that. It keeps track of neat sites and lets me tag them. Last.fm does kind of the same thing but with music and different. Google Reader gathers the best stories from all of the web and organizes them for you, kind of like an online newstand. I’m also using Flickr for storing images I like and then feeding that to my starving hub. I am trying to dig Digg but I was a landscaper for almost 3 years, so it feels like work to me. Moving on, to StumbleUpon I can just keep rhymin on and on. This bloggin makes me feel so insecure, like my thoughts or lack of are exposed to the elements. The disclaimer is, what I am trying to do here is express a real world trip and tumble, digg and stumble first time idiot’s guide to social networking. Honestly, if you are interested in marketing your website on the internet, start getting creative.
This cornucopia of quirky computer show and tell can pay off in duckets!
So the real message of this is, if you are going to link farm, farm organically. tw
