- Godaddy Discount Codes: Never Pay Full Price to Register a Domain

GoDaddy does not seem to have the best reputation. Occasionally, I hear people complain about their service and hosting accounts. Some people refuse to use them. But for low-cost, easy-to-maintain domains, Godaddy is my registrar of choice. I usually register my domains with Godaddy and then host the websites elsewhere.
If you [...]

Blogs, Wikis, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Ning, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr are all examples of social [...]

- Amazon as a Social Networking Website: Authors Take Note
As Amazon.com evolves and begins offering more and more services such as the Kindle, online storage solutions, API’s, “cloud software” and the like, I thought it would be useful to go back and re-examine their “core” business of selling new and used books.
You may already know that for an author who wants to reach [...]

- An Intelligent Online Survey: Creating Actionable Intelligence

I was just on the website of a national publication which asked me to take a survey. I tend to take all online surveys that I come across. I do so for ideas on my own online research efforts and to see which companies “get it right” and ask meaningful, actionable questions. I’m [...]

- Niche Marketing and Podcasts…
Several weeks ago, I finally got around to starting a podcast. I have a website geared toward a community of so-called “alternative health practitioners.” The podcast is aimed towards practitioners, theorists and trainers of this method (called the Feldenkrais Method) and I post mp3 interviews on a blog attached to the website. The calls are [...]

- Steve Jobs, Presenting Apple - Low Tech Style.
So, the CEO of Apple Computer goes to the City Council and makes an effective and engaging presentation without powerpoint slides (or in his case “keynote” the mac alternative), without a laser pointer, without a laptop or projector - and does a great job. Sometimes simple is better. Take a look:

- Marketing Sherpa: Excellent Free Resource
Marketing Sherpa has some excellent content and “how to’s” for marketing on the web. What I particularly like are their case-studies which focus on the implementation of particular marketing and sales ideas. This week, look at how Power Point presentations + Audio can appeal to scientific audiences. This type of presentation can be created with [...]

- Bill O’Hanlon’s “Presenter’s Bootcamp”
Question: How many Bill O’Hanlon workshops does it take for a person to get off their rumpus and find their focus? In my case, the answer is one. Although, I must say that prior to the recently completed Presenters Bootcamp I had downloaded virtually every digital product from Bill’s O’Hanlon’s online store.
Why in the hell [...]

- Project Management
The article below is mainly in regard to project management in relationship to software design. However it makes some good suggestions for project management in general. I got the link from a weekly “Java” (an internet programming language) email from Dr. Dobb.
Quick Kill Project Management - Blogs, Marketing and friends…
In the last 24 hours, I have read, re-read and “discovered” well over 150 websites and feeds about marketing, blogging, sales, and website design. One short paragraph caught my eye:
Today, when you lose a customer, you don’t lose just that customer, you risk losing that customer’s friends. And thanks to the internet and blogs and [...]

- Google and ZDNET…
As I do more and more with google’s adsense program and look for ways to monetize my sites, I find that ZDNET has some excellent information on its blog. Definitely worth reading from time-to-time.

- An Inconvenient Truth and an Awesome Presentation
It took me a while to finally get around to seeing “An Inconvenient Truth” but I finally did. Al Gore does an amazing job with the presentation and the facts of global warming. If you have ever felt overwhelmed at how to present a complex topic to an audience not well-versed in your topic, I [...]

- The Perils of Blogging
I have been more than a “little” concerned by the number of people who have been discriminated against, fired from their jobs, or even murdered after their blogs have been read. Regardless of how tame my own posts have been (due to my own self-censorship), I find myself wanting a completely anonymous blog. There is [...]
