• Link Exchanges

  January 19th, 2006 |
  

  This entry is prompted by the recent flurry of emails requesting a link exchange. I don’t do link exchanges period. They’re meaningless. Well, except that it helps search engine optimization for both sites, they’re meaningless as content. People exchange them without thought to the quality of each other’s sites. So you’re wasting your Web page [...]

• Vote for Five Quick Tips to a Better Blog

  January 18th, 2006 |
  

  I’ve submitted a ChangeThis Proposal and the votes decide who gets to write a manifesto. I hope you take a look and find the proposal worthy of your vote. ChangeThis has superb manifestos (articles, if you will) and some that bored me. It’s all about whether or not the manifesto is relevant to you. Tom Peters [...]

• Communicating with the Japanese

  January 17th, 2006 | Tags: Business
  

  Came across this site during my massive blog surfing research. Japanese Lesson has excellent tips on pronunciation, conversation, and info about Japan. While the blog is very new, if the author keeps up the good work — people who interact with those from Japan or entrenched in the Japanese culture will appreciate this resource. With the [...]

• Blog Education before Feeds

  January 16th, 2006 | Tags: Tech
  

  Brand Autopsy: Forget RSS, We Got Bigger Issues posted this last November and I’ve been sitting on it since because I didn’t want the valuable data to get lost during the holidays. Some people are working hard to promote feeds and RSS when we really need to step back and promote blogs first. Of course, we [...]

• 40 Years of Paul

  January 14th, 2006 |
  

  Think I’ll let today pass by without saying something about Paul who turns 40 today? Obviously not. A little about the guy… Paul is a Star Trek fan. Guess what year Star Trek debuted? 1966, the year he was born. He also likes the ‘61 Corvette from Animal House. He loved playing AD&D and video games in [...]

• Searching for a Children’s Book

  January 13th, 2006 | Tags: book, children's book
  

  I’ve had this book since my daughter was a baby. In 1994, my childhood tutor gave it to her as a gift when she was born. All three of my kids loved it at some point — in fact, the youngest has been taking it out a lot lately. It’s worn and has been through [...]

• Audio Transcriptions for Podcasts

  January 12th, 2006 |
  

  Robin Good reviews two audio transcription services to see how they pare up. He submitted the same 30-minute podcast two both services and shares the results in Audio Transcription For Podcasts. I’m sure we’ll see more services pop up with the growing popularity of podcasting. Not only does it help those who want to have the [...]

• Crisis Management: Taking the Right Actions

  January 11th, 2006 | Tags: Business, communications, crisis, customer, management, public, recalls, relations, service
  

  I didn’t know about the Diamond Pet Food recall and I subscribe to enough things to know about it until I heard about it from the Publicity Hound. Apparently, Diamond Pet Foods has recalled 19 brands of dog and cat food because they have aflatoxin, a toxic chemical. The company has taken action to address this. [...]

• Palm and Treo Hacks

  January 11th, 2006 |
  

  The Treo takes up one whole chapter of this book plus references in the communication-related. Still although the Treo is a popular PalmOS-based device, it rightfully doesn’t dominate the book. After all, many owners of PalmOS devices don’t need or want to have a powerful device like the Treo. In spite of “hacks” in its [...]

• Selecting the Perfect Book Title

  January 10th, 2006 | Tags: Books
  

  Lulu.com did a study of book titles and determined what makes a good title. The company looked at every title of nonfiction and fiction books from 1955 to 2004 and analyzed what works. But of course, the title doesn’t guarantee failure or success since the analysis says The DaVinci Code is considered less likely to [...]
