Where am I?

November 19, 2008

I feel the need to write this post for you guys.
I am still alive and kicking (my friends on twitter, facebook or even flickr will tell you that :-) ).
Here is what I have been doing behind the scene:

1. Putting together a new server hosting this blog and others along with the support of 2 geek technicians after I found out how slow this blog’s load time. Also included is work on a new theme with less JavaScript and any other complications.

2. Working on changing the design for  he online school that I intended to start back in November 1st but had to delay launch date thanks to one of my platinum sponsors that did not agree on the color scheme and had to add this point in my contract with them. (That’s big corporate work for ya!).

3. Working even harder on the rest of the content for the online school. Now I am 90% done :-)
 
4. Been partying hard too (well not really partying) going to concerts, meeting celebrities back stage, had a TV interview on Fuse channel ( video available on their site soon), and some videos are on my YouTube Channel as well ;-)

5. Been tweeting and plurking like crazy :-)

6. And last but never least, I have been writing some great posts to be published as soon as the new Guru Of Sales is done.

Coming soon to YouTube channel some videos from ad:tech NY and a contest ala John Chow style :-)

This is where I have been. Where have you been? comment below if you have been working hard like me, and I will “personally” choose one commenter to do a free review of their blog, service or even twitter page. ;-)

Why do I LOVE Twitter?

October 26, 2008

twitter

3 Days ago I asked this question on Twitter: Name 1 reason you love Twitter and 1 tool that you use to “Tweet” the most.
Here is my answer:

Here are the first 50 answers (Replies or Direct Messages) from my friends on Twitter:


What is Twitter? Find out here!

Follow me on Twitter here!

Twitter is a personal friendly tool used to network socialize and most importantly staying up to date on what’s going on in the world.

Best answer that made me laugh was @netik answer, we all know that you work there John, so thanks for participating :-)

All the other answers are great, I received almost 100 replies with only one of them asking if they can say why they hated twitter. Well, as any person would, I was a bit skeptical too when I first started using Twitter. But that’s another story in the making and will be shared with you all soon.

Don’t forget to comment on this post of what you think of the answers and of Twitter in general.

Thank you to everyone that replied or DM’ed me back and if you are looking to learn more about Twitter and beyond, I have just finished a 5 hours session to be included in the free online school starting November 1st, so keep updated and sign up when the doors opens soon :-)

The reason that there is 53 links is that some bloggers left the specific link to their posts about the issue and I included it under each one of them.

I hope that I delivered the message clearly! From this point on, I hope that everyone else will do something to help :-)

Note: All income and money raised from this blog from October 15th until the 19th, will go into 2 of the organizations mentioned at the blog action day home page as donations. Thanks to all that helped. :-)
