Twitter is a “micro blogging” platform. Users can send updates of what they’re doing, cool stuff they find online, and many other uses. Now twitter users in Cincinnati and Northern KY can use this feed I created over at twitterlocal.net. They let you create a feed of what’s being “tweeted” withing so many miles of a certain zip code! This is the feed I have created for Cincinnati and NKY tweets. Please check it out and subscribe to the feed in your favorite feed reader. The chicklet below will show the number of subscribers. Oh yeah, I could not resist “burning” this feed to track it over at FeedBurner.

Tonight I had a great experience: a client of mine invited me to a get together with them and members of their network. They only invited people they knew and trusted so I was in the midst of great company. It’s kind of like a “meetup” where the group of peoples interest is my one client. Business cards were exchanged and I met a bunch of great new people. The clients company is a concierge service. A concierge is a company that will bring you a “twinkie at 2:00 AM” as they put it. What they do is anything from personal shopping to dog walking, pet sitting, line waiting, anything else their clients need that is not against the law. You can see by the list of services they provide that they need a large network of businesses they trust to call upon to be the goto man. Has anyone else done this? Setup a networking event with their clients for the purpose of introductions and business card exchange? I believe it is a great idea.

Recently I have been exploring more and more “social networking” sites. These are sites that let users connect to each other and some even provide a “live chat” type of experience. Social networks allow users to see who others in their network know. I have used this feature to find past colleagues and co-workers. What are my top 5 sites? Here they are..
- Twitter I use the thwirl client and have it constantly running so I can receive updates from people I am following. PS - Follow me and more than likely I will in return follow you.
- Facebook - I used to think that this service was mainly for college students but have learned that over 1/2 of the registered users are 25 or over. I have alot of exploring left to do on there to figure out all of the ins and outs.
- Linked In - I use this site to connect with past co-workers and employers. You can also join groups on here just like facebook. You can also ask questions and answer questions to be known as an authority on LinkedIn.
- stumbleupon I use this site to share cool or unique sites I come across while surfing. Stumbleupon creates a toolbar on my browser that has a “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” that I can click on when I am on a site. If I am the first to “stumble” a site I get a popup window to describe the site or article and also tag it. If I am bored I can also click the “Stumble” icon to find sites that are similar in the interests I selected in my profile.
- del.icio.us is a bookmarking site. Del.icio.us adds two new buttons to my browser one of which is “Tag” which lets me bookmark a site to del.icio.us and add a description and tags for the entry. The other button is to view my bookmarks. In firefox this button opens up my bookmarks in a sidebar on the left. I can see all of my bookmarks and also search them. I can also “not share” a bookmark making it private for me only. I can also send out a bookmark to my network on del.icio.us. Right now my network is small on there please feel free to join del.icio.us and join my network.
That is it for the ones I use daily. There are others such as myspace and squidoo. I am looking for comments on any sites I am missing that you feel are important. What sites do you use and have you been able to build your brand using these site or make any business deals? Please share your experiences.

April 15, 2008 has almost came and gone now. I hope everyone got their taxes done and postmarked by midnight. There are several post offices in the Northern Kentucky area that are open until midnight tonight. The dreaded tax day! I hope it’s not too frustrating on everyone!

I use a free too to create PDFs. PDFs are nice to send out because their content cannot be easily chnged. PDFs are also almost a “standard” for printable forms that are linked to from a website. The tool I use is called Primo PDF. To use it you simply click on File-> Print in the application you are using and change your printer to be the Primo PDF printer. The software takes over from there and asks you where the file should be saved. Quick and easy!
