Why Am I Giving You Directions to the Bar at the Top of the Hancock at 7 a.m.?

Filed Under Business Life, Marketing, Successful Blog, Survival Kit, Tools | 2 Comments

All You Have to Do Is Ask

askcitylogo

I’m a believer in Permission Marketing. I’m with Seth — it’s not hard to ask. As a customer, I find it easier on everyone when I ask my question. As a service provider, I like asking what people think and how they do things. As a teacher and a person, I get jazzed when people ask me to help.

One thing I don’t ask for is directions online — I’ve had MapQuest take me to the wrong side of too many towns too many times.

Yahoo Maps, well, Yahoo! invaded my computer by loading their toolbar on my machine without including me in that decision.Sorry, I like to think for myself. I didn’t include them in my decision to delete it.

I get my directions from websites or people who know the way.

Until today . . . when I read the TechCrunch review of AskCity, and played, yeah played, with their maps.

It’s so cool!

SOB in Giant Online Blogging Glossary

Filed Under Basics, Great Finds, Successful Blog, Survival Kit, Tech/Stats, Tools | 4 Comments

Synchronicity Again

Truth is I had just cropped this title

Quick Online Terms Glossary

for a “Great Find” post, when I got an email that said:

Hi Liz,
I recently created a Giant Blogging Terms Glossary at
http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2006/06/the-giant-blogging-terms-glossary/

And while I searched around for blogging terms, I was surprised to
find SOB on several sites and it is a very popular term (and the
entire credit is yours). So I have added SOB to my glossary
collection. I found some great sites at your blog. Thanks.

:-)

Here’s the entry itself. Click the entry shot to see the entire glossary.
