Sexy wear - did you just repeat your post every where here? :-(

DIGG is infamous for doing this - t-shirts that promote their site and the staff wears them during interviews, etc. So I wonder have you taken a similar approach and what were your results?

I never really heard of "Buzz" until today when I am logging into my Gmail account and I was welcome to a Buzz login. I like the little colorful logo and it seems it integrates tweet feeds and other "friends" on your gmail account address book. But what do you …

Google has made it really hard to have any sense of privacy.

Canada Fred - I love it!! You are satirizing the popular threads here. Genius!!!

Overall, the integration of these social media updates to SERP will definitely revolutionize the search experience. I do wonder how this will affect websites SEO?

Long time ago, I created a similar project and I used meetup.com to launch the program and this way I centered events around the fitness program. At first, I had people and then it died off. You need to always keep building and sustaining those relationships.

The other day, I was exploring other Google tools for my blackberry. I noticed "Latitude" - it seems great but I dont want to release exact GPS location of me every moment of the day. Am I the only person concerned about this?

If someone thinks they have any sense of privacy today, they are just fooling themselves. There is absolutely no sense of privacy. Most importantly, nowadays, people are very willing to give up their privacy by tweeting, updating FB, etc.

Yes it does. Google PageRank take this into consideration. You have to be careful where you post.

Well they must be behind the times because most people in the United States use Iphone or Blackberry.

Could this finally mean the demise of Google?

What you are saying sounds very much like a business plan. A business plan is required by banks and venture capitalists to determine the viability of the business and to fund it.

I read this very interesting blog about how Social Media Comprises 20% of All US Display Ad Impressions as per Comscore data. [url]http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/090901-125314[/url] So I predict this will increase in due time.

I recommmend that if you are doing offline promotion - tie it with a holiday - like giving away little usable cups for people to celebrate Oscars with your company's logo and info, etc.

Like everything in life, there are good points and bad points. Like water, it can save people's lives but it can also kill them. Well maybe not with Twitter, but it shows the point that one tweet can be dangerous enough to cause major havok. If today is Twitter, what …

Would you write on your ex's facebook wall to wish them happy valentines day? What do you think about communicating via social media to an ex and leaving all the hurt and past behind?

Hi. I know Im not the only person who has a plethora of logins. If so, how do you manage not to get all your cyber identities all confused?

As Im looking for mobile apps on Google, I found Latitude. The premise is that you can easily find where your friends are - like a GPS for friends. My only concern is that my contacts may actually be undercover stalkers or I just dont want them to know my …

The majority of the superbowl ads are supposed to drive viewers to either buy the product or visit their site for additional information. So from this past Super Bowl, were there any ads that triggered you to visit their website?

I like all of your steps except #4. You just have to becareful of which sites you trade your links. These sites must have related contents and have good PageRank.

Thanks for sharing the link. For us internet marketers, these steps may seem commonsensical but they are necessary to assure community engagement.

Spammers had to think of innovative ways to spam people since the Nigerian plea email, AOL, and Paypal phishing is old news.

It seems that the premise of Google Buzz is for members to share their comments. My thing is "Do people really care?" I wish they do but what do you think?

As a business owner, one has to be very concerned with the bottom line. Though I have seen many advertising tactics that were more qualitative, especially in social media. Thus, one may add a web analytics javascript on the website and get the metrics from an online advertising campaign, but …

There are so many recommendations on SEO but my question is: How do you measure it? How do you know that your SEO tactics/optimization actually worked? I think one way is to track the amount of organic visitors before and after the refresh. What else do you measure or track?

Be careful where you park!!!

I was totally surprised about this Buzz. I do believe that Google should have sent a mass email announcement about this Buzz. The only think I like is the little colorful logo.

oh i like that. Can you provide testimonials?

I have attended a few social media conferences where the following terms were also used to descrie social media: influence, engagement, advocacy, sentiment, ROI, transparency, authentic and trust. So what other words do you use to describe social media?

I never heard of it. The site looks nice and its mobile but to be honest, I will still with Linkedin.

Thanks for bringing this issue to light. I have also heard other types of complaints about the cruise industry before.

With my adword campaigns, I am very careful of the Quality Score associated with each keyword because this scoe influences the amount of impressions served and affects the CTR as well.

I have heard of some sites using Yahoo IM with camera to enable cams. But I dont know the success or how easy it was to implement it.

I agree. It also requires to be able to recognize potential problems early on.

Also, I recommend you to Google "twitter backgrounds" and search for a few Twitter background tools that dont require photoshop. Remember with twitter - you need to build a following as well - by outreach and following other Twitter users.

There are tools like TweetFollower and other twitter add-ons to help increase followers. Twitter also have a good guide for small businesses to use Twitter. [url]http://business.twitter.com/twitter101/best_practices[/url]

I have heard recommendations of resubmitting them every week or month - as long as you have updated the content and keep it fresh.

Its no surprise. This is an example of how the merger of social life and academics become one. Look, now it is acceptable form of behavior to not only have a Facebook page, that schools have their online presence as well.

$1k? I do see twitter account have a value, but the value flunctuates and may not really provie much values overall - especially, if all the person does is post self promoting links

Banner ads. EHarmony sell banner space and its a paid site - a very expensive one to say the least. So banner ads and perhaps sponsored emails from your advertisers is an option.

Oh that is entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

You cant escape a digital marketing site or meeting without hearing the term social media. Thus, I wonder if there is a social media ettiquette guidelines to go about it. I saw this site by popular blogger Tamar W - [url]http://www.techipedia.com/2008/social-media-etiquette-handbook/[/url] I do agree with some of the points. Are …

IPad is now the next rage. So will you get an IPad just to be more connected online?

I also recommend you to use Twitter to bring traffic to your site - [url]http://business.twitter.com/twitter101[/url] Also remember when you bring traffic to your site, to enhance the site to increase the stickiness factor

Very good question. I recommend you to find a site that has Yahoo Stores and then ask the site's owner for his/her opinion. Also, try to find one naturally online

Maybe Im too tired of hearing about social media, but do you think its a hype?

We all know everyone have a different policy on accepting or sending out friends' requests. We also know that people on Facebook love to play those addictive games, like Zombies, Mafia Wars, and Farmville. Thus, what would you do when you get a friend request from a long time ago …

Adding images to boost your SERP is a good way to bring traffic to the site - as long as the images are tagged with the proper keywords.

Unfortunately, modern day communication platform allows for another layer/dimension of social behavior - both good and bad.... Thus, that being said, the interpretation of cheating is now more obscure with additional social media - like - sending text message with smut is not considered cheating or that cheating via FB …
