True. I fell prey to a bout of adverts placed on a site that asks you are you sure you want to leave (grrr) These ads kept talking to me and in the end I had to go to my task manager to end firefox's processes because it would not shut down.

Was a lesson well learned.

True, but this is a checklist of things to do when creating press releases. Do you use them, and do you have any tips for us? Most of us don't use them because its either time consuming, or just not getting the traffic it deserves, so any information would be great

You need at least one dedicated team member to work on it or it won't be any good. Besides that, the team member has to interact with people on twitter. This alone, if there are budget constraints, can make twitter useless. Unless all you are going to do is blast links to your followers, which only takes a few seconds, or a button push most times.


Not always. Yes, its important to establish yourself as a brand on twitter and how many other social networks out there, but you still have to be practical about it. You're marketing a product or a service yea, but people aren't always going to like hearing @myproduct or @myservice yammerng away about their products or services. Best advice would be to start a twitter page as a company, and then have someone work on it using their own name or "alias" to actually talk to people and not just toss out tweet after tweet of links. It puts people off of twitter followers and TBH they will unfollow you in the end.

Everyone here knows how talkative I can me at the worst of times, so what I did was try an experiment. I have been busy with document analysis for a few months, so our company twitter page was dormant for a while, unless I tweeted something I had read, which in the end, turned out to be a link every now and then. Last week I got back to marketing and logged into my twitter page.

Talk about links central. :P So I decided to try something. I waited, leaving my twitter page open while doing other work, but checking up in tweets every now and again. In my twitter feed, someone declared a "woot off". no links, just that sentence and asking who's in. All I did was type @... I'm in. That user ended up following me, and not just that, but people that saw the interaction, from his list and some of my other follower's lists actually followed me as well. Proof that interaction works better than just posting links all the time.

I am in the process of working out how to get interaction going on my twitter page, in relation to links, so I am going to be unfollowing a good many people, and only keep following those that actually talk to me and not just bombard me with links.

Ah no, I hope they get through this. I can remember kodak from my childhood. First ever camera was a kodak. Even when I got a new one n the 90's it had rolls and not that huge cartridge.

I'm holding thumbs for them. They deserve to pull through this.

lol. Everyone thinks that adsense is the only way to make money, like SEO is the only way to sell a product. You would be amazed at how many tricks people are trying to get back into adsense. They have even tried opening new accounts under different names and addresses.

You guys certainly change times a lot. First you were two hours behind us, then one hour.... lol how do you keep track of it all?

That alone can cause chaos. Competitors that turn nasty because your product is not only better, but more popular? The marketers from the netherworld would have a field day with this.


Don't think that needs any explanation really. What it all really seems to boil down to is that they want to control everything and anything on the web, not just the sites that have been targeted for giving away pirated software.

These quotes come from the site earlier mentioned, and I do think that there is a copy of the bill that you can read through yourself attached? not sure.

I used to groan when my mom bought an album with the song's lyrics on the inside sleeve, because she would fire up the turn table on our sansui and I would be standing in front of it singing to the lyrics, by her request of course. lol It was how I learned to read tbh.

That sux As accounting help says, the best thing to do is to research. See how much the PC goes for brand new. How old is the computer? OR just let it go on amazon or ebay. I have noticed that amazon sells used stuff as well, like tech bits and bobs, computers, headsets and even books.. you never know.

Now days a lot of the computers you will find are either dual core or quad core. So I would say dual core, as quad core heats up a lot. I have friends running water cooling systems on their phenom chips just to make sure it doesn't burn out when they play really graphic games.

If you are only using it for documents etc, then I guess a norma dual core with about two to three gigs ram on a windows vista or 7 rig should do the trick. If you had one with a small(ish) graphic card of about 512 to 1 gig, it should also help speed up the PC a little. That way you could watch movies as well as work on any editing program with a certain amount of ease. I will put a small list together for you and pm it to you.
