As I was surfing the net, also known as “Youtube”. I came across this video, which explains Social Media and your business in simple words. Those of you that do not know what Social Media Marketing is, should take some time to watch this video. Now that everyone from young teens to babyboomers have access to the internet, and phones with internet capabilities.

Myspace launched in 2003, and dominated the social networking space. Now these days, it seems there are endless choices for a social networking site to call your social community; and or virtual home.

Your thoughts on Online advertising?

chriscottle — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:45:54 +0000

I want to ask everyone out there from a consumer point of view. What are the pros and cons of the online advertisements you see out there today? Do you prefer email versus banner. Do you find sites that offer incentives like a free Ipod deliver relevant ads to you as the consumer?

Feel free to give me your thoughts on this. With this day and age, technology is getting better and better everyday. Companies are able to behavioral target to consumers with greater accuracy. Do you find that creepy? I do at times myself. =)

Bring it on.

Online Lead Generation and Coregistration

chriscottle — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:27:52 +0000

I work in this space, and would really like to get an idea of everyones thoughts on the subject. Coreg tends to get a bad rep, and I have a good understanding on why.

I would love to get feed back from those that have tried it in the past or have been thinking about trying it sometime soon or in the future for their business.

Bring it on. =)

Best,
