			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I feel the need to write this post for you guys.<br />I am still alive and kicking (my friends on <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales">twitter</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=540610872">facebook</a> or even flickr will tell you that <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> ).<br />Here is what I have been doing behind the scene:</p>
<p>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&#8217;s load time. Also included is work on a new theme with less JavaScript and any other complications.</p>
<p>2. Working on changing the design for&nbsp; 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&#8217;s big corporate work for ya!).</p>
<p>3. Working even harder on the rest of the content for the online school. Now I am 90% done <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />&nbsp; <br />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 <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/guruofsales">YouTube Channel</a> as well <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>5. Been <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales">tweeting</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.plurk.com/guruofsales">plurking</a> like crazy <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Coming soon to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/guruofsales">YouTube channel</a> some videos from ad:tech NY and a contest ala John Chow style <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This is where I have been. Where have you been? comment below if you have been working hard like me, and I will &#8220;personally&#8221; choose one commenter to do a free review of their blog, service or even twitter page. <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Twitter is a personal friendly tool used to network socialize and most importantly staying up to date on what&#8217;s going on in the world.</p>
<p>Best answer that made me laugh was <a href="http://twitter.com/netik" target="_blank">@netik</a> answer, we all know that you work there John, so thanks for participating <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>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&#8217;s another story in the making and will be shared with you all soon.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to comment on this post of what you think of the answers and of Twitter in general.</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone that replied or DM&#8217;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 <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/launch-notes/397/first-official-guru-of-sales-online-school-announcement" target="_blank">the free online school</a> starting November 1st, so <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/guruofsales" target="_blank">keep updated</a> and sign up when the doors opens soon <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </div>

<p>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.</p>
<p>I hope that I delivered the message clearly! From this point on, I hope that everyone else will do something to help <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>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.

<div>As I continue my effort towards this critical issue (Poverty) and as I mentioned in <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/427/fight-poverty-its-blog-action-day-today" target="_blank">this post</a> that this effort should be ongoing and not just for one day, also as I would like to bring up the point of blogging and how powerful it is bringing people together world wide.</p>
<p>I started something wild, and it took me about 14 hours of reading to finish it (almost).</p>
<p>I personally went to every blog that was picked up on the blog action day home page and read every single post by all the bloggers from around the world, aside from the amount of info that I learned within the 14 hours of reading (Thanks to all), it came to my mind that blogging is not just about writing (Although it is the biggest part of it), but also it&#8217;s about connecting people, I have seen personal blogs, business blogs, romance blogs, religion blogs, health blogs (And the list goes on&#8230;), all sharing the same call against poverty which was the topic of the 2008 blog action day. Some bloggers actually did the same thing I did, which is connecting, how? By commenting on other blogs.</p>
<p>Whether you are a reader, blogger or just a surfer, you can raise your voice and be heard simply by commenting on other blogs. And that&#8217;s what I did!</p>
<p>I commented on over 150 blog posts that I read throughout the last 48 hours commending everyone on their posts (I specially liked the ones with photos &#8220;Photo blogging&#8221;) and asked them all to come and read <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/427/fight-poverty-its-blog-action-day-today" target="_blank">the article that I wrote</a> and let me know what they thought about my contribution to solve the issue.</p>
<p>I also promised them that I will encourage my readers to visit their blogs and read their opinions as well. I would call this &#8220;Social Blogging&#8221; which is simply getting every one involved in action.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll go through commenting and blogging as a social networking, opinion sharing tool more in <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/index.php?s=online+school&amp;x=0&amp;y=0" target="_blank">my upcoming online training school</a> that I&#8217;ve announced earlier this month.</p>
<p>The point of this post is that every time I have received a comment back from another blogger, I knew they cared about the issue, that does not mean that everyone else didn&#8217;t care, I understand that sometime people get sidetracked by life, but the people who commented on the article (44 comments up to this point) did a lot to share to solve the problem, even if they didn&#8217;t know it, they did put the effort of just sharing to raise the issue higher into the open field of blogging.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s another way of solving any problem, we see it every day, whether on a newspaper site, on a political forum, or on any blog of any kind. And I will do my part and share the love with you from everyone that commented on this article and a link to their blogs in the second part of this article and I really hope that you will take a minute for each blog to read their opinion. And don&#8217;t forget to comment <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I will go back to my normal blogging, but in my life, this issue along with a lot more issues (Like my involvement with <a href="http://www.one.org" target="_blank">ONE.org</a>) which was the main reason for me to start blogging, will continue on a daily basis. And I will also share my knowledge with everyone on <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/launch-notes/397/first-official-guru-of-sales-online-school-announcement" target="_blank">the online school that will start on November 1st 2008 for free!</a> (Again this is not all about money or profit, but it&#8217;s to share the good and feel the better).</p>
<p>2 ways to keep up with me is to get the RSS here: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/guruofsales" target="_blank">http://feeds.feedburner.com/guruofsales</a><br />
Or follow me personally on Twitter here: <a href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/guruofsales </a></div>

<p>It is today, it is now, it is blog action day.<br />Once again thousands of bloggers unite to deliver an important message.<br />This year (Today) it&#8217;s about one subject:</p>
<p><b>Poverty!</b></p>
<p>The numbers above are rising fast, meaning that this is working.<br />My message is very simple: We can end poverty. Not tomorrow, not next year, but right now.<br /><b><br />I need comments on this post!</b></p>
<p>I know that you can share something good, and I did and still doing my part by being active socially, Online and offline.<br />One group that I promote (And proudly THE TOP recruiter on the hall of fame on it) is <a target="_blank" href="http://apps.facebook.com/causes/27922?recruiter_id=8873377">the facebook cause called: &#8220;MicroPlace&#8221;</a> which is a brilliant idea by non other than eBay founder (and his network) Pierre Omidyar. (Note: in order to be able to view the cause page on facebook you must have a facebook account and be signed in or <a target="_blank" href="http://apps.facebook.com/causes/27922?recruiter_id=8873377">try here</a>).</p>
<p>The idea of MicroPlace (Which also can be reached at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.microplace.com">www.Microplace.com</a>) is very simple: People helping people. That&#8217;s it in a nutshell.</p>
<p>People generally like to invest money. Why not micro invest their money to help families around the world to start a small business? This way they helped them out of poverty, provided an honest work environment, shared the love, and also shared the profit. But then again it&#8217;s not always about profit, it&#8217;s about how good you will feel after helping someone. If you watch Oprah, you will understand her point of helping people without expecting anything in return but the joy knowing what she did was a great thing.</p>
<div align="center"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://blogactionday.org/"><img src="http://blogactionday.s3.amazonaws.com/banners/Badge_300x160.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>My point of showing you the <a target="_blank" href="http://apps.facebook.com/causes/27922?recruiter_id=8873377">facebook cause/group</a> is to show you that I have been doing it for a long time now, almost on a daily basis, and I beleive that if everyone who is reading this right now start by just spreading the word about MicroPlace (everyday, not just today!), I beleive that we can put an end to poverty very soon.</p>
<p><b>I still need comments..</b></p>
<p>Another way you can help is by telling me your idea or share your thoughts by commenting on this post, this is why I need you to spend just a minute and tell me what you think or how can we all come together to help with the issue. And I can&#8217;t wait to hear your voices <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Another thing that I will do, is to buy 25 dinner boxes and tweet about my location where I will be giving it out in New York city tonight, feel free to come and help out, I will be posting tweets on my <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales">Twitter page here</a> of what&#8217;s happening.</p>
<p>This must really continue, I blogged about it before <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/marketing/education/313/blog-action-day-2008">here</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/environment/413/7-days-to-blog-action-day-video">here</a>, and I will continue to do my best by sharing on all my networking activities online or off. (Feel free to join me on any of the networks found on the top right corner of this page), make sure to comment, do any of the 3 actions I shared above (Join a cause and sread the word, write about it or tell a friend and go out and give something no matter how small you thin kit is). And I will see you soon <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all, I would like to apologize about the big mistake I did while taking this video, and to clarify why, is simply because I snatched this interview as soon as I got the chance, however, my camera was on very low battery and it was set in the previous recording on the zoomed in position, if I have realized that and tried to zoom out before taking the video, I would loose the power and the entire interview in general.<br />
I know it might seem funny, but everyone make mistakes!</p>
<p>In the interview, John Donahoe, eBay&#8217;s current president (Who also used to be the eBay marketplaces president for a long time), speaks positively with confident about eBay, urging new users to sign up, buy and sell, even create social networks around it.<br />
I first met John last year at eBay&#8217;s DevCon in Boston, briefly spoke to him about his visions and found out that he is not only a brilliant &amp; open minded person, but I thought that he is the man for the job, taking eBay to the next level (In my opinion, this should have been done a long time ago!) and I agree with every move he made since taking over his position 100% (And yes I don&#8217;t think that eBay should be just a big garage sale, there is a lot more into it than just that).<br />
John, me and Pierre Omidyar (eBay founder) share the same vision that drove a lot of current sellers away or mad or whatever you have seen in the news latley, but I think that consentrating on eBay&#8217;s core business, opening more doors to developers (API&#8217;s), and cleaning up the site in general of some of the old rules that brought the company somehow down, is the only way for eBay to become what it&#8217;s meant to be since the begining, an online marketplace!<br />
Yes I understand that I might get a lot of comments against my opinion, but I truly believe that if you reialze how much more money you can make though eBay without even selling anything, you will be amaized of what you didn&#8217;t know before. All I can ask you is to open your eyes, think outside the box, research on how to become a real player in this game (Not just a big seller) and I guarentee you great profit and bigger bussines than you can even imagin.<br />
Before I leave you with the video, I wanted you all to know that I am including at least 2 months total of eBay training, not only on how to sell, but also a complete work around to make profit in other ways but selling, including the affiliate program, API calls, integration into other applications and similler stuff. (Don&#8217;t start going crazy now, I promise that it will be so easy for any one to do it with the least experiance) and will be all for free on the <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/launch-notes/397/first-official-guru-of-sales-online-school-announcement" target="_blank">upcoming Online School</a> that I announced here.</p>

<div align="left">A few months ago, Yahoo! bought the Hugarian based company IndexTools. That was a big upgrade from Yahoo! specially to their Search Marketing program and to the Yahoo Small Bussiness users.</p>
<p>I have been watching for the re-emerging update, and it came in today. Of Course I will compare it to the only 2 Analytics services that I use on a daily bases, Google Analytics and StatCounter.</p>
<p>The only problem is that I am still waiting to get access to Yahoo&#8217;s Web Analytics, since it&#8217;s still in beta.<br />But I know this for now: The 2 features that I really like about the new service is this:<br />1. The real time insights that&#8217;s updated within minutes from any activity on your site and showing the visitors behavior, which will make me switch from Google Analytics into this service. (This is the only problem I face with Google Analytics because of the one hour delay in stats!)<br />2. The drag and drop filtering option (I wonder if it&#8217;s AJAX?!) that will add a rich user experience to the service.</p>
<p>Here is a video that I found on YouTube for a quick review of the service:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This a quick post with a video (Below) to explain to some of you one of the things I do, which is being an eBay Education Specialist:</p>
<p>The way it started with me was when eBay had something called the eBay University (Discontinued!) and I went there to learn how to expand my eBay business (Second largest ebook seller on eBay), long story short, I decided that I already covered every aspect of eBay, even more than what they tought at their classes. Then a couple of friends asked me to teach them how to start a business on eBay and the education specialist program started at the same time so I decided to join.</p>
<p>Brenda (an eBay Education Specialist) will explain what the program is all about in the video below, you can also <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/services/ebay-basics-of-selling">click here for an example course</a> that I personally teach or you can see me as the futured speaker for a very special (secret) day which normaly falls a day before eBay live.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes it is my turn to be interviewed, as you can tell from my <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/guruofsales">YouTube channel</a>, I interviewed almost everyone else, and I am proud to announce that my first public video interview (About my business) was made by (non other than) Yaro Starak himself, the same person that brought to you the always resourceful blog: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/">http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/</a><br />Yaro interviewed me in New York when I insisted on meeting him (As one of his loyal fans) and the video just went live last night (Again perfect timing).</p>
<p>Here is the video:
<div class="youtube-video"><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lheXJsdjDnU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lheXJsdjDnU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object></div>
<p>I know I looked nervous in the video <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> but the good thing is that when Yaro tagged the video on YouTube, he tagged it with keywords like (Ice Cream) which just happened to be one of my recent tags on my new personal video blogging serious on YouTube as well, called: Alex&#8217;s Random.anias! so the videos actually relate on YouTube immediatly. Just perfect timing.</p>
<p>Speaking of videos and tagging, I am revealing a bit more about <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/launch-notes/397/first-official-guru-of-sales-online-school-announcement">the Online training school</a> to all of you right now: Yes I will include sessions about video blogging, tagging, and even some tips to have all your YouTube videos to be available in high quality.</p>
<p>So stay tuned for more details about the school by subscriping to the <a target="_blank" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/guruofsales">Guru Of Sales RSS feed.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Follow me on Twitter!</p>
<p>I just got the newsletter from Biz Stone (Twitter founder) and I am passing the great news on to you:</p>
<p>I have already written about the makeover here.<br />
I also wrote about what Biz called the election fever on Twitter here.<br />
Tonight there is a debate between Palin and Biden and here is what Biz said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Tonight we expect the most activity Twitter has ever seen as<br />
vice presidential hopefuls Sarah Palin and Joe Biden debate live<br />
from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The folks at<br />
Current TV are making history by broadcasting Twitter updates on<br />
live television during this debate. Will you see your updates on<br />
television? Be sure to tune in or watch the streaming version of<br />
Current TV&#8217;s &#8220;Hack The Debate II&#8221; at <a href="http://current.com/debate" target="_blank">http://current.com/debate</a></p></blockquote>
<p>This could not be any better in terms of timing. Aside from that I will watch for my tweets tonight on TV, I think that this is the perfect opportunity to reveal just a bit more about the <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/launch-notes/397/first-official-guru-of-sales-online-school-announcement" target="_blank">Online school that I announced last night</a>, yes, there will be another big part and multi-sessions on mastering the art of Twitter and other micro-blogging/status updating services.</p>
<p>Of course you can start following me on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales" target="_blank">here</a> or by clicking on the Twitter logo on the top of this article, and I hope you will be watching for my tweets on TV tonight and feel the POWER of TWITTER <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> I have to mention that the Twitter live updates will be available on Current TV channel Online at the link above or by checking your <a href="http://current.viewerlink.tv/" target="_blank">Cable/Satellite listings here.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The incredibly famous blogger (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/announcements/315/interview-with-john-chow-tips-on-affiliate-blogging">&amp; one of my three blogging heroes</a>) Darren Rowse of ProBlogger wrote an article today about this one blog run by one man, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bankaholic.com/">Bankaholic.com</a> is a Wordpress blog run by John Wu, Darren said that he received emails reporting that Mr. Wu blog was sold for up to a nice $15 million to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-bankrate-acquires-bankaholic-for-up-to-15/">PaidContent.org</a> The deal is to pay $12.4 million upfront and another $2.5 mill over the next 12 months and Mr. Wu will remaiun blogging on the site.<br />I think it&#8217;s a very fair (&amp; a bit higher than normal) price for just one blog, but like Darren mentioned, with a current 42,168 alexa rank and a growing <a target="_blank" href="http://trends.google.com/websites?q=http://www.bankaholic.com/&amp;sa=N">Google trends</a> for the site, and the huge affiliate marketing potential on the blog, I also think that I made the right desicion for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/announcements/372/65000-for-this-blog">not selling this blog for $65,000</a> <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><b>The good news is this:</b><br />Again, perfect timing! As <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/launch-notes/397/first-official-guru-of-sales-online-school-announcement">I announced yesterday about the new school</a>, I will be revealing details about it throughout this month.<br />Well, I think that students will be happy that a big part of the school will be about (My number one passion) Blogging, and how to profit online from it. (Hint: The last sentence includes the name of the new school).<br />Also, I think students will be happy to know that I will include instructions and details on how to use and rank in alexa, how to integrate Google services into your everyday life and of course into your business, and ways to get a good &#8220;Organic&#8221; Google trends rank for your blog or website.<br />Also in the school&#8230;(Wait! I am not telling everything now, you have to subscripe to the feed by clicking <a target="_blank" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/guruofsales">here</a>).</p>
<p>Thank you Darren for the perfectly timed info, and congratulations to Mr. John Wu for the great sale.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Speaking of teaching every one about sales as part of the new <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/launch-notes/397/first-official-guru-of-sales-online-school-announcement">Online school that I announced last night</a>, I would like to share a great sales story with you.<br /><b>A house sold on eBay for just $1.75!</b><br />On Yahoo&#8217;s homepage this morning (<a target="_blank" href="http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/House-sells-175/ss/events/lf/100108ebayhousesagin/s:/ap/20081001/ap_on_fe_st/odd_cheap_home">Photos here</a>) I read that a house in Saginaw Mich. was sold on eBay for this redicoulously cheap price. They said it was abandoned, I say I don&#8217;t care, the land only should be worth a lot more.<br />Joanne Smith was the top bidder and she was bidding on 8 others, when she won this one.<br />She said she is going to try to sell it. Try! I think she should put it on the market immediately, especially with this huge marketing stunt by Yahoo and the Associated Press.<br />Yes you can sell houses on eBay as a matter of fact there is a huge <a target="_blank" href="http://pages.ebay.com/realestate/">Real Estate</a> section on eBay, and a couple of years ago, eBay acquired <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rent.com/">www.Rent.com</a> for a complete Real Estate portal including rentals.</p>
<p>eBay buying and selling will have a big portion on the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/launch-notes/397/first-official-guru-of-sales-online-school-announcement">Online school that I announced last night</a>,and yes it will still be free for you (the students) so you all know the ins and outs of buying and selling houses, say for $1.75 each <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Another huge Real Estate market online is (You knew it) <a target="_blank" href="http://newyork.craigslist.org/hhh/">Craig&#8217;s List</a>. That&#8217;s also included in the completely free but still huge package <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>My take on the Yahoo homepage featured story is that it might be a marketing stunt by eBay taking advantage of the low economy that we have right now, My opinion: It&#8217;s a great marketing stunt and perfect timing for it.</p>
<p>I say congratulations to Joanne and hope she makes good profit from this deal <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Now, I am in a sharing mood, so I will include this out of subject video that I watched this morning as soon as I got up. Vanessa Mae is one of my favorite on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/user/guruofsales/">my last.fm channel</a> as well.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

I am sure that everyone is aware of the bad economy crisis in the U.S., and I am sure that every stock in the market went down on 9/29/08 (except for Campbell Soup!).<br />
I also know that some companies went up the following day (Mostly advertising/Marketing related companies). But I know for sure that my industry is still going strong, this is the best time for people to start selling stuff on eBay, or for bloggers to start writing or double their writing for articles, news companies powered by (Fill the blank company ad) are the most visited right now.<br />
My bank (Wachovia) got bought out! (But <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/announcements/372/65000-for-this-blog" target="_blank">my money</a> is safe) so, I guess I will keep going <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I got to the park with a nice espresso frappuccino from a near Starbucks and luckily (wink, wink!) there is WiFi in the air all over the park (Thank you NYU students), going through my RSS feeds for this morning I found a funny and sarcastic picture of how banks are copying our Web 2.0 cool stuff!<br />
So, I shared the picture.<br />
Enjoy ;-p</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales"><img class="size-medium wp-image-388 alignleft" title="twitter3" src="http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-content/uploads/twitter3.png" alt="Follow me on Twitter!" width="175" height="41" /></a></p>
<p>I could not help myself (Not to) post this article, I want the readers of this blog to understand that this is not a political blog and it&#8217;s not in any way suggesting any candidates of this election.</p>
<p>So I got up this morning and was checking on tweets (As it&#8217;s my only easy news in the morning) and I decided to check the Twitter Search page as I think it is (Or will be) one of the most powerful search tools out there since it&#8217;s based on Twitter users own input.</p>
<p>But I didn&#8217;t do any searches as I found out the link to Twitter E08 or the Twitter election page right at the homepage of twitter search.</p>
<p>And I also found a temporary banner on top of every twitter page promoting the new Election 08 powered by twitter.</p>
<p>What the page does is very simple, here is what you will read when you land there: &#8220;We’re filtering hundreds of Twitter updates per minute to create a new source for gathering public opinion about the presidential election and a new way for you to share your thoughts&#8221;</p>
<p>Back in April I wrote <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/113/barack-obama-vs-hillary-clinton-online" target="_blank">this article </a>about how powerful twitter is to decide or even help deciding of votes between Obama Vs. Clinton, and guess what happened? Well we all know what happened.</p>
<p>YouTube, Facebook and other powerful sites all have their own election pages, I personally think that creating this page on twitter is a great idea, I won&#8217;t bother my readers on any more details, but I will say that it&#8217;s a great interactive page that dynamicly pulling every and anything said about the election from all twitter users to form the true public opinion, kind of like a vertical news ticker from twitter users about the election.</p>
<p>For example: A tweet about this post will go on my Twitter page, within minutes it will show on the election page because it contains the words: Obama, McCain, Clinton and election.</p>
<p>To see the election page go here: <a href="http://election.twitter.com/" target="_blank">http://election.twitter.com/</a></p>
<p>Can Twitter decide who&#8217;s the next president? Obama has over 85,000 followers, McCain has less 1000 as of today. Does that mean anything? What do you think? Please share your thought on this by commenting on this article. <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-content/uploads/features-upright-google-g1-phone.jpg" /><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-content/uploads/features-sideways-google-g1-phone.jpg" /><br />I was excited to have my text service on my t-mobile phone fixed (<a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales">As I said on my twitter update</a>), then I go Online checking out and browsing like normal, then I get even more excited.<br />I know and I understand what <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guruofsales.com/general/250/htc-attack-on-the-3g-iphone">I said about the HTC diamond</a>, but wait, this is Google, and this is T-mobile, so Guess what will happen on October 22nd (the sale date!)? You knew it, I will be on the line waiting early in the morning to buy the phone.<br />I have been looking at some videos of &#8220;Android&#8221; the new OS for mobile devices made by Google, and I am very happy that it will be on the new phone.<br />You can watch a great demo of the phone here: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.t-mobileg1.com">www.t-mobileg1.com</a><br />Apple need to really watch out this time, the G1 may not be as sleek and sexy as the iPhone, but its peppy,<br />easy-to-use touchscreen interface makes mincemeat of all the other<br />iPhone wanna-bes, and it packs in some killer features—like 360-degree<br />Street View—that the iPhone has yet to match.<br />As you may predict, the G1 is slightly bulkier and<br />heavier and—well, let&#8217;s just say it—a little uglier than the slim, sexy<br />iPhone. Weighing in at 5.6 ounces, I could definitely feel the G1&#8217;s<br />extra bulk in my hand, although at just 0.6 inches thick, the G1 should<br />fit relatively easily in a jeans pocket.</p>
<p><b>Here are the features from T-mobile&#8217;s site:</b></p>

<h3>Music player</h3>
<p>	
<li>With the 1GB memory card, you&#8217;ll never be without your favorite tunes</li>
<p>				</div>
<p>While the G1&#8217;s main screen isn&#8217;t quite as eye-popping as the iPhone&#8217;s,<br />the Android-powered display is surprisingly responsive—a quick flick<br />of your fingertip opened a windowshade of applications, while tapping the<br />status bar at the top of the screen instantly revealed e-mail, SMS, and<br />voice-mail alerts. Indeed, tapping and scrolling around the G1&#8217;s<br />various menus is a seamless pleasure, akin to what you&#8217;d expect from<br />an iPhone. And while leading iPhone competitors like the <a href="http://tech.yahoo.com/blog/patterson/23204">Samsung Instinct</a> always felt a bit sluggish to me, the G1&#8217;s peppy interface responded quickly to my every touch.</p>
<p>Of<br />course, you&#8217;ll get the most out of the G1 if you&#8217;re using Google&#8217;s<br />suite of online applications, all of which sync automatically the<br />moment you sign in. The push Gmail client features threaded messaging,<br />just like you&#8217;d expect online, and you can star messages, organize them<br />with filters, and even conduct Google searches within the e-mail client<br />itself. You can also use the client to check your POP and IMAP<br />accounts—no full-on Exchange syncing, but as I mentioned in an earlier<br />post, third-party developers are free to create their own Exchange<br />syncing apps for Android.</p>
<p><a href="http://f3.yahoofs.com/ymg/patterson__9/patterson-465234565-1222194199.jpg?ymYgsDAD2e.SR_Gd"><img src="http://f3.yahoofs.com/ymg/patterson__9/patterson-465234565-1222194199_thumb.jpg?ymYgsDADDHGqPE8G" border="0" /></a>The<br />G1&#8217;s dialer and contact list immediately grabs all your online Google<br />calendar info and contacts—and for those with IM accounts, the G1 will<br />indicate which of your contacts happen to be signed in for chat, an<br />&#8220;online presence&#8221; feature familiar to anyone with a Helio phone. As<br />with the iPhone, you can flick your contact list with a finger,<br />spinning it roulette-style. WOOT!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can not be more addicted to <a href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales" target="_blank">Twitter</a> than this, so I will try to finish this post as soon as I can so I can <a href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales" target="_blank">tweet</a> about it <a href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Twitter has always been a <a href="http://www.guruofsales.com/web-20/tools/159/my-twitter-account-was-hacked" target="_blank">great an easy service to use</a>, however, due to the extreme amount of users, it tends to be down or slow so many times though out last year.</p>
<p>Last night I logged in to tweet as usual, and to my great surprise I found a new Twitter user interface, kind of like the new facebook UI.</p>
<p>To keep it simple, I am in love with it, so much easier, faster, AJAX&#8217;ed! just nice clean and simple.</p>
<p>To follow what I am doing right now on twitter go <a href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Here is an exact copy of the <a href="http://blog.twitter.com/2008/09/changes-afoot.html" target="_blank">official twitter blog post</a> about the new changes and Ihope you enjoy it as much as I do:</p>
<blockquote>
<h3 class="post-title">Changes Afoot</h3>
<p>We&#8217;re getting ready to launch a refresh of parts of the Twitter.com interface. This release does not include any new features (well, one). It&#8217;s mostly cosmetic changes. This post describes what we&#8217;re doing and why.</p>
<p><strong>Moving the tabs</strong></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94lNR2vayWk/SMAow0UinKI/AAAAAAAAAOM/ik7Zp0Kz6Ws/s1600-h/Twitter-2.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94lNR2vayWk/SMAow0UinKI/AAAAAAAAAOM/o_JPBIDdM-g/s320-R/Twitter-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>
<p>The most significant change you&#8217;ll notice on the logged-in homepage (/home) is that we&#8217;ve moved the tabs that were on the top of the timeline to the right sidebar. We did this for a couple reasons. For one thing, it makes them larger targets and easier to access. But more importantly, it was an investment in the future. We plan to have more tabs, and we&#8217;d run out of room putting them along the top. This was the driving factor for this redesign, but you won&#8217;t see all the benefits until a future release (hopefully, very soon!).</p>
<p><strong>Ajax for speed</strong><br />
When you click on the Home or @Replies tab when you&#8217;re already on that page, the updates are now refreshed via Ajax, instead of loading the whole page, which should be faster.</p>
<p><strong>Action icons: When you need them</strong><br />
At first you may wonder where the star <img src="http://twitter.com/images/icon_star_empty.gif" alt="" /> and reply swoosh <img src="http://assets2.twitter.com/images/reply.png" alt="" /> beside every update went. Hover over an update to see them show up.</p>
<p><strong>Lighter, Prettier, Simplified</strong><br />
Besides hiding the icons until you need them, we&#8217;ve done many things to try and make the look of the page less cluttered &#8212; like lightening the lines between posts and spacing things out more. Some things we&#8217;ve made smaller (like our logo), while other, more important things, we&#8217;ve made bigger (like the tabs and the Update button). Some things we&#8217;ve made the tough choice to get rid of all together (see below).</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also done some things for pure aesthetic reasons &#8212; like rounding some corners (which you won&#8217;t see on Internet Explorer but will in Firefox or Safari &#8212; or Chrome). In general, we think the site looks a lot better. Hopefully you will, as well.</p>
<p><strong>New design customizer</strong><br />
For some people, this design probably does <em>not</em> look better. If you&#8217;ve customized your Twitter colors, it&#8217;s possible you have a combination that doesn&#8217;t look quite right with this new design. We did our best to maintain customizations in a pleasing way. But if, for example, you have a white sidebar or sidebar border color, it may not look quite right.</p>
<p>But good news! One new feature we&#8217;ve added is a completely revamped design customizer, which you&#8217;ll find under <a href="http://twitter.com/account/profile_settings">Settings / Design</a>.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_94lNR2vayWk/SMApkVF1TaI/AAAAAAAAAOU/MdsQoWoN4Xk/s1600-h/Twitter-3.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_94lNR2vayWk/SMApkVF1TaI/AAAAAAAAAOU/2P3PFUxxFQ4/s320-R/Twitter-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>With this tool, you can choose from pre-designed themes, as well as play with your color scheme and background and see the results in real time.</p>
<p><strong>Removed Archive tab</strong><br />
In the interest of simplification, we&#8217;ve removed the &#8220;Archive&#8221; tab from /home which showed you your own updates. The reason is, it showed you the same stuff you see on your own profile page, it was oddly named, and people rarely used it. It didn&#8217;t deserve the space it took. If you miss it, hopefully you&#8217;ll get used to going to your profile page (which you can get to by clicking on your picture or the Profile link up top).</p>
<p><strong>What we haven&#8217;t done</strong><br />
This hardest thing about doing a redesign like this deciding what <em>not</em> to tackle. I&#8217;m fairly certain that much of the feedback to this will be, &#8220;What about&#8230;[your favorite feature request / annoyance].&#8221; Please be assured the changes we&#8217;ve made here aren&#8217;t the only things we want to (or will) change. They&#8217;re not even, necessarily, the most important. The scope of this project was limited to light-weight front-end work. We have whole other teams working on back-end changes and more fundamental functionality changes (which, as mentioned above, this is also laying the groundwork for).</p></blockquote>
