Now comes microblogging!!
It's fascinating to see the Internet evolving
and how
ideas get adopted by the business community for
profit or efficiency reasons.
We've already seen the blog concept used to
promote
companies in every way possible. As we've
said in previous
articles, blogs can be used as a document
management system to promote your company,
yourself and to add quality content to your
website.
Now we are seeing the phenomenon of
microblogging at sites such as Twitter and Jaiku
(recently acquired by Google).
Microblogging is just that; tiny
blog postings or "tweets" of 100-140
characters. People are using them to quickly jot down
thoughts and links to more major items (including
their blog!).
Any value for business in microblogging? Who
knows? The thing is, lots of people are
using them
and where people congregate, there is usually
money
to be made!
What's the fuss about blogs...

If you've every undertaken a building project

happen by ensuring all the bases are covered

team of tradesmen that have been with them
for years, they are just the people to look
after your refurb, renovation, extension or
new build.

practically about how to use marketing
successfully.
And he should know - with 40
years in the business, working with all sorts
of companies around the world, he's got a
fantastic track record, is a successful
author on the subject and was hailed by the
legendary David Ogilvy as
"knowing more about direct marketing than
anyone else in the world."
In fact his "Commonsense Direct Marketing" -
out in 13 languages - has now been the best
seller on the subject for 25
years.
Best of all though, is that you

3-4 days) absolutely free. These are
easy-to-read and easy-to-apply tips and
