- Note:
- The commas are added to separate symbols
- The symbol | (Example: B = |3 ) is a "down-slash", or "pipe", and
not a lower-case "L" or capital "i"
- The symbol ` (Example: T = 7` ) is not a standard apostrophe, but
is a "Grave Accent" and is found on the tilde (~) key
- Also keep in mind that the use of /-/ for H for example, aren't used
nearly as often as the normal letter in a quick conversation. To write
an entire sentence this way would take three times as long, thus the

I thought this script was clever. I rarely want to invite all my
friends to anything. But this script works.
I set up a couple of groups on Facebook and wanted to invite all my
friends, but it would have taken an eternity because for some strange
reason Facebook doesn’t allow you to “select all” friends when sending
an invite. I mean, they’ll let you do it… but only if you click one at a
time! Uugh.
Well anyway I went on a little search and found that you could cheat

Here are the Bing SEO
tips:
1. Domain Age is Key
Bing appears to put a lot of stock into
how long ago a domain was registered. For marketers, this means that you
may look to purchase older domains if you want to get on good position
in Bing.
2. Text Rules
On most search engines, the amount
of text on the page usually isn’t usually a huge factor. However, Bing
appears to really like pages with at least 300 words of text.
3. Link Out
With Google
especially, some markete... Continue reading...

1. Video, Video, Video
Thanks to greater bandwidth, cheaper storage, and a proliferation of
products and services that make shooting, storing, viewing, and sharing
video easy (Flip video, iPhone 3GS, YouTube, vimeo, blip.tv, vodpod,
etc.), video will be king in 2010. Video is ideal because it allows
careerists to deliver a complete communication and convey their
personality—a critical component of branding.
2. Hiring Process
Companies will be hiring brands rather than employees. The... Continue reading...

I was just cleaning out my spam folder and ran across these two
jewels. We have all seen variations of these things where in order to
get money the dupe has to send some amount to free up a much larger
amount. Not all of us have been educated about scams - and the good
ones are always deceptive.

1. Create a mission statement -- What are your
top-level objectives for applying social media and Web 2.0? And how will
you achieve them? Ideally, this can be boiled down to one statement,
articulating both the vision and where you aim to focus in terms of
specific strategies. Don’t skip – or skimp on – this one; it’s
important.
2. Assign owners – Who will take the mission, build
the team, secure the budget, identify the tools needed? And who will own
each channel, like Li... Continue reading...

the community managers’ primary role is to represent the customer. This

responding to their requests and needs or just conversations, both in
private and in public.
2) Brand Evangelist
