Marriage- turning Lynn Terry down! 18.10.06
Lynn posted an "off topic" post on marriage
all the while thinking I wouldn't spot the
subtle "subliminal massage".
That the preference was for a "Brit with a
hearing problem and a sense of homoUr" which
narrowed it down a tad.. ;o)
Yet I had to say no.. bit far away you know..
Joking aside..
She will kill me!! ;o)
Good headlines work do they not?
But wait..before you dissapear.. it was for
a reason and a good one at that.
Not only it got you here...
I am a little at point where I NEED to get
something off my chest, not in a rant sort
of way, but in an positive yet straight manner.
Anyone who knows me offline, and I KNOW a few
my offline real mates read this.. ;o)
They will tell you I don't shy from making
friends or being honest, and yet a mate says
I need to show a little more of the ME through
this blog..so I will.. ;o)
I am sometimes to honest for my own good, some
say, but I don't feel it ever pays to not be honest.
They have a great point there and it ties in
with something I have been thinking about alot
since getting back online.
Being online is getting more and more like
being offline.. except faster.
You may well have heard of the term web 2.0
before you groan or wonder, depending on your
view, lets get something straight here, it is
NOT hype!
Some WANT you to believe that, simply due to
it being a potential banana skin for them..
Before I explain why grab this superb book from
Tiff, read it as soon as you finshed this post,
it will clear it up nicely, not only that you
will also see more of Tiffany Dow in the future
I think..why? take a look at her easy to read,
clear easy to grasp style..
See why the top dogs have hired her in the past?
So..the banana skin?
Its getting to be a people driven market, people
are voting with their word, with their fingers.
And if your product, service don't cut the mustard
it won't last!!
Simply put the net IS running more on word of
mouse than ever before.
Hype to far or lie to much and you WILL get called
out on it... but it also means the people are the
ones who will clean up the niches, and the net.
This post is a perfect example of web 2.0 in action.
Its about interactivity more than anything, that
can be acheived in so many ways, and its good
for so many different reasons.
Linking to others is part of it, blogging itself
is part of it and those who fail to grasp this will
miss out.
Look at John Reese's blog here and tell me THAT
isn't interactivity..two post..over 300 comments.
And THAT paticualar commant was someone
helping ME.. see the people interacting here?
Its about people, sharing, helping, just as
Paul Short does here on his blog, think its worthy
of a link? Thinks its good advice?
He is giving a tip that will help you and all of
us if we DO it.
When you want to buy someting...
The people don't wanna get ripped off, the people
don't wanna get lied to, the people don't wanna
read boring long sales letters, they want a real
recommendation from a real person, someone who they
trust, believe.
People need to be honest..straight..
Thats why you won't see me selling how to make
money selling books on..
"How to make money selling books on how to make
money"!!.
Because I am NOT making silly money.
Those of you who are sharp will have already noticed
the "Tip Jar" on the side here..
Ok that's most of ya.. ;o)
Here is what got me putting that up here.
So..while it pissed me off a tad, it got me thinking
positively, the only way to banish the negative.. ;o)
As this post implies its a people driven thing, I
will let you decide whether my rambles are worth
tipping for... ;o)
But tippers won't regret it.
They will help me move FASTER to where I need to be.
