Note to self: Do not keep the bulk of tax filing till the last month before taxes are due.<\/p>\n
In the midst of shuffling paper around for hours and hours in my office (a real joy), I’ve been listening to episodes of Geekcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n What I like about Geekcast’s easygoing, conversational banter between Shawn Collins, Lisa Picarille, Jim Kukral and Sam Harrelson is that it’s pretty stream-of-consciousness and more shoot-from-the-hip compared to a more produced program like Lisa and Shawn’s Affiliate Thing<\/a> or Linda Woods’ Affiliate Marketing Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s like talk radio for the internet marketer, and goes beyond the affiliate marketing\/affiliate management\/blogging\/social media borders to cover all things “geeky”.<\/p>\n In the latest episode Web 2.0 is the Devil<\/a>, (yes, it’s still a dirty word<\/a>) – it’s interesting to hear about the dirty word beyond it’s traffic and monetization implications to get into the guts of the zeitgeist<\/em> or spirit of social media.<\/p>\n As Lisa mentions, how do you separate your twitter stream and create a divide between the public and personal messages – how do you create twits that your boss or employees or clients can’t access?<\/p>\n It kinda reminds me of the early days of email, before email folders where everything sat in one massive “inbox”.<\/p>\n Right now, social media is still at it’s rudimentary “1.0” stage, where everything is dumped into one huge social channel.<\/p>\n
