I saw a television ad for the penny auction website Beezid.com.
Beezid.com
My question is: Do penny auction website’s deliver on their promise?
Is so, how can any business profit from this type of business model?

Will You Give Us An Interview?
May 28, 2010I received a request to give the following web site an “interview”.
How to be “interviewed” by WhoHub.com:
* Simply begin by responding to the questions, and the interview will have started.
* Choose only the questions which you find applicable to you.
* Everything that you respond gets automatically added to your interview page.
* Don’t worry about mistakes, you can always re-edit the whole interview
Will You Give Us An Interview?
The WhoHub.com website’s process for eliciting content via questions is quite simple and brilliant.
How could this same question and answer process be used to generate user provided content and populate other web sites?

Social Media Spoofing Part Deux
May 25, 2010I was surprised to see my blog post from yesterday reincarnated on another site today.
Social Media Spoofing Part Deux
While PRNewser did generate its own screen shot of the fake BP Tweet, the blog “writer” didn’t realize my post’s followers count is less than the number of followers in his post which effectively timestamps my post as the first one written.
This type of creative re-purposing of content by PRNewser is the primary reason why I don’t put my best research and content online.
It too would get stolen.
Social Media Spoofing
May 24, 2010As Americans watch in horror while British Petroleum’s Deepwater Horizon well spews millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico each day, both BP and its detractors have sprung into action on Twitter.

Unfortunately for BP, its detractor’s messaging appears to be reaching a larger audience albeit the Twitter audience.
BP Global PR
What action if any could BP take to counteract this type of social media spoofing?
Or is this type of social media lampooning the cost of corporate operational and communications failure?

The following infographic is how Google perceives and classifies the web:
Google's Approach To The New Age
While Google acknowledges there are important and ascending areas of web usage – video, social and mobile – none will produce anything close to the revenue and profits for Google like search has.
