If you’re using Foxfire as your browser, you can have the opportunity for 1,455,889,862 downloads. According to the Foxfire website, over 162,086,241 add-ons are in use! Wow… That’s a wow! Don’t you think?

The “land rush” for the .tel domain names has begun. Here is what Wikipedia said about the .tel domain name: “However, after the short period of legitimate registrations restricted to trademark holders only (the “Sunrise” period[6]), anyone willing to pay a premium price will be allowed to buy any domain name (the “Landrush” period[7]) regardless of who owns the trademark.
Furthermore, during “General Availability”[8] anyone will be able to register any name (assuming that it is available for registration) without paying the premium price.
In actual practice, .tel domain names will be no different than most domains except for price (most domain names cost around $10.00 per year) and proprietary control, except for the fact that .tel owners will not be charged for ongoing hosting fees and will not need to build or maintain a website in order to be discoverable on the Web under their own domain name.
The information held under the .tel domain will be no more accurate or trustworthy than any other data held in the DNS system. It will be down to individual .tel owners to choose what they wish to store there.”

I’m still a bit fuzzy about exactly what I bought in terms of the difference of what the .tel domain structure can offer but as soon as I find out, I’ll let you know. I bought my name…www.nans.tel. Who knows, it may replace my phone number! Ha!

Building a relationship with readers is an important thing if you want real followers. When you post your image, or add an avatar or give some hints about who you are, you are likely to have people view you as a real person and that is what they want to follow; someone who knows about the topic in which they write and someone that is real.

So the next time you post… add something about yourself or write in first person or just something that will really “speak” to your audience.

There are generations between the age of the Queen of England and the United States President. One thing for sure, the age difference was brought to light today when the young Barack Obama gave the mature Queen of England an iPod. According to Jake Tapper of ABC, the iPod included a variety of different things including Obama’s speeches and her photos.

Rumor has it that the Obama’s are MAC people and quite hip on the latest in technology. Obama more than likely had his Blackberry on his hip when he or his team members handed over to the Queen or her team members the Apple iPod.

We can all learn something from this event. Young and old can meet together. The young can share with the older. The older can share with the younger. The youth of one can offer something of possible interest to an older person. The older person can be of influence to the younger.

This can be used in business as well. Live outside the box just be careful and don’t overstep. There is a thin line. You decide.

Yesterday I went to the Seattle Market. It was hustling and bustling. One thing that I noticed was that each market “stand” had its own “thing”. For example, the fish stand had guys dressed in fishermen’s wet pants and throwing fish one to another. ( I wasn’t sure that I wanted to buy those particular fish but…..) YES, throwing fish. It was their little “show” used to drum up interest, get a crowd interested and grow their business.

Another market stand (Mick’s Jelly) had Jellies. The “show” there was open jars of jelly with wooden sticks for tasting. I tasted three and ended up with “Mick’s Pepper Jelly”. It cost me $7 bucks.

The flower stand was offering one free flower; could be a tulip ( just in season) or a daffodil or some other west coast beauty. I did not take one but had this been my home, probably would have ended up with a bunch to take home to put on the table. Lovely.

The bottom line for all of those who want to have a business online or other is to give the crowd “something” to draw them to your biz….

What will you offer your clients today?

Well, you became a part of the people list when you were born. Now you can be on the “tweeple” list if you’ll just join Twitter! Twitter is a social networking website. The purpose of being on Twitter is first to have a ton of fun telling others what you’re doing and finding out what others are doing but also to literally “network”.

Twitter allows you opportunity to follow others in their endeavors on the internet and in life and in turn, they follow you.

Don’t miss this great opportunity! Join Twitter today… and hey, follow me! (I’ll follow ya’ back!).

Bookmarks are a great way to allow people to simply “click” your “Twitter” or “Facebook” or another networking site. I found this site which offers this product. You might be interested. “WP Social Bookmark Menu is a Wordpress plugin that inserts menu of social bookmarking site icons in each of your blog post to make it easier for your reader to bookmarks your blog. You can watch this plugin in action in this blog.”
