In the spirit of an older post of mine, in this rather humorous ad by Apple, they continue to prove they aren’t innovative by copying the name of the book my co-author, Jason and I are writing (and Jason’s previous, “I’m on LinkedIn — Now What???” book featured recently in Money Magazine):
Read more...Twitter Updates
You’ll notice I’ve started posting all my Twitter updates on a daily basis. The whole Twitter concept came about as a form of “mini-blogging”. It’s a great way to blog as you go throughout the day.

Dave Bascom, of SEO.com, and also a good friend of mine, recently reminded me through a blog post of his about Danny Sullivan’s Whiteboard Daily Search Cast where he criticized Facebook ads as a “revolution”. Danny goes on to say that because search ads are being “requested” by the user, search engine advertising is much […]

I think it’s blatently evident that I, Jesse Stay am on Facebook. Now what??? Actually, that’s exactly what.
