Online people like to talk in absolutes and often ignore the obvious. For example, there’s an assumption social networking is great and will add value to your business. It isn’t and it won’t, at least not in and of itself.
Don’t take my word for it, hear what Seth Godin has to say.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I’ve dropped my fair share of online bollocks. Having been online since the blink tag was cool I’ve seen all kinds of fads come and go, some of them stuck some didn’t.

I’ve had the great pleasure today of being abused by a very insecure individual. To cut a long story short the person in question accused me of self promotion at their expense. Hey ho the worlds full of ‘em.

The credit crunch is going to focus people’s minds and many more firms and individuals will be looking for ways to make money and cash in on the online pound (dollar).
If you’ve got a website you’ve got a head start but if your website is search engine proof you’ve got a problem. If you want [...]

The old masters of the universe are still licking their wounds, albeit, no doubt, on a beach in the Bahamas. Wall Street has crashed and poor people are about to bail out rich people – progress!
The interesting thing about the collapse of Wall Street is that only a short while ago predicting it would have [...]
