My XM Radio appears to be working correctly again.
You don’t realize what you have until its gone.

Google Hot Trends
May 22, 2007When I began writing about XM Radio advertising yesterday, I had no idea I would stumble onto a new method for reaching and tapping a search audience in near real time.
My blog post made it onto the Google Hot Trends page right below their graph.
I don’t yet know how to mark up my screen shots…

XM Radio Problems
May 22, 2007After my post yesterday about XM Radio broadcasting from 22 million miles away, it appears their satellites are no longer reaching planet Earth from their location between the Moon and Venus.
Today I received the following “service degradation” notice.
I don’t recall receiving a service degradation notice before.
Chasing The Long Tail?
May 21, 2007Eric Enge has written a good piece on “Chasing the Long Tail” over at Search Engine Watch.
His article addresses the question I posed at Silicon Valley Watcher:
“Has chasing the long tail ever passed a cost benefit analysis for a small to medium sized business?”
I believe Eric has sufficiently answered my question.

May 21, 2007I was doing some research this morning at Leadership Shows and came across the Web Greeter service.
The following is the thread of my conversation with Brian at WebGreeter.com:
XM Radio Really Out of This World
May 21, 2007Recently I have heard promotional spots on XM Radio describing their services as originating from satellites located 22 million miles away in space.
Wow!
XM Radio has done what no other broadcaster has yet done. They have placed their satellites beyond the Moon and just shy of the planet Venus!
Not only has XM Radio introduced North America to the subscription radio market, they also have gained first mover advantage in the race to sign up radio subscribers on the moon and Venus!
Didn’t the XM Radio marketing team intend to say the XM Radio broadcast signal originated from satellites located in a Geostationary Orbit 22,000 miles from earth along with the rest of the telecommunications industry’s satellites?
Or did they embellish the facts to try to impress their audience?
I don’t know.
In either case, I now question the authenticity of their marketing communications whereas before I heard their satellite claims – I did not.

May 20, 2007“The average blog has exactly one reader: the blogger.” Eric Schmidt, CEO Google
I started this blog to see how much traffic I could generate armed with just a few articles and my knowledge of the search audience.
I have posted 24 articles since September 04, 2006.
This blog has now attracted over 10,000 visitors.
Even though I haven’t considered myself a blogger, it appears my blog has now safely exceeded Mr. Schmidt’s criteria for being average.
