Forgotten Social Media: Forums

Date December 29, 2010

At the dawn of the Internet – before Twitter, Facebook or even Google there was a way for people to gather online and share with each other.  They were called Internet forums. Originating from simple community bulletin board systems (yes, with paper fastened with cork and pushpins or thumbtacks), they eventually metamorphasized into dial up [...]

SEO Useless For Local Business

Date December 15, 2010

I live in the lovely ocean-side community of Nanaimo, British Columbia with about 77,000 people.  While my business clients are worldwide, I also teach a local Nanaimo Mentorship program to help Nanaimo small business owners and individuals learn about Internet marketing.

Newspapers Are Dying And That’s OK

Date September 27, 2010

Newspapers are laying off staff or closing.  More and more of the articles are just Associated Press articles with less local reporters.  There are more items advertised on Craigslist for my local small town than in the classified ads section of the print newspaper.

iPhone Interface Better than Browser

Date August 31, 2010

I work from home and spend all day in front of a computer. When I am out or traveling, I often use my iPhone to access the Internet. While it lacks a comfortable keyboard for typing, it works fine for browsing and short email replies.

While doing this, I found something unusual happening. I was starting to access some of these at home using my iPhone instead of my computer, EVEN WHEN I WAS SITTING AT MY COMPUTER!
