There is a very interesting post on Shoemoney about 1938media who are going to start a subscription service. He accepts thatt 99 percent of his visitors will not pay for the content. I think he is on to something. At least 75 percent of my reading material comes from blogs on the Internet. I do not buy a newspaper because I find bloggers more interesting and better content. I would be interested in paying a dollar per a day to read my favourite bloggers.
Over the weekend I was updating some of accounts that I have on certain networking site likes like, propeller, Marktd, WorkConnexions.
I have just taken a look at the stats for the last couple of days and I have had more that 150 percent increase in traffic. The main reason for participating in community is that you can engage a group of readers with similar interests.
But It is important to pick the right community first.
For example if you are into Art and photography than Stumble is a good choice, if you are into business development than try www.WorkConnexions.com.
Not only do communities provide extra resources for your particular interest.
They also give you the chance to show you skills. Join a community today…
This morning I got an interesting email from Google warning for Adword users that they have been a number of security issues recently. Apparently users of the service have been receiving emails telling them that they are at risk to money being transferred from there account. To counter this they have to click on link which leads them to a false site (phishing) Where the site operator is able to get there account information when the user tries to log in. From the criminal perspective is clever scheme. What surprises me is that anyone who would be using Google ad words or administrating it is unlikely to be an internet novice. The problem must be widespread for Google to be emailing all of us. What does that say about their user base?
Here is an excerpt from the mail:
“There are currently reports of phishing attempts that appear to be from adwords-noreply@google.com. These fraudulent emails ask users to update their billing information, take action on a disapproved ad, edit their account, or accept new AdWords terms and conditions. Please remember that the Google’s AdWords team will never send an unsolicited message asking for your password or other sensitive information by email or through a link.
If you need to change your account information, such as your billing details or your password, always sign in to your AdWords account from the main AdWords login page at https://adwords.google.co.uk and make the changes directly within your account.
We’ve included more information below on how to avoid phishing. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at http://adwords.google.co.uk/support/bin/request.py?ctx=cuffhelp.”

One step back two steps forward. We have gone live over the weekend with the new Business Development site. The key aim with this site is to offer companies and users a place to develop their Business and share resources. The old Work Connexions site was not meeting its user requirements and was proving expensive in time to maintain. Some of the many features on the new site included:
Groups, Email Contact, Advertising, Targeted content, blogging, Work Buddys…
Come over and take a look at www.workconnexions.net

It goes back for another edit, but I Just thought that a few people may be interested in how we are doing? The guy laying on his desk at the begining is desperate for help than Wcx comes along and helps him. We going to be re shooting the whole thing. preview here.
Twitter where you Visit:
Twitter is well established, I do not know the exact stats for its use but I do know that if type in Enschede in Holland a large selection of twitter subscribers appear. For me having lived in quite a few places in the world it nice to be able to hear what is going on in a place that I have lived. More interestingly I have also added people that live in countries where I would like to visit. Japan being top of my list. Funnily enough most the Japanese subscribers tend to want to keep there twitter quiet (no follow) but it is an involving process so we will see what will happen.
