About 6 or 7 weeks ago I was asked to demo some software (a news clipping kind of service). As part of the demo, I was promised a $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble. Fulfillment was supposed to be 4 weeks tops. 5 weeks later, I emailed them asking where it was. My account rep was going to get it fixed. Still nothing.
Today I see another ad for the offer. I post about it on Twitter. It read "sees the Vocus PR software offer for a free $50 gift card. All good, except I took the tour over 6 weeks ago, no gc yet. False ads?"

I was looking through Facebook today when a new ad caught my eye. This person is clearly thinking outside of the box, and using the fairly inexpensive Facebook advertising system to help her job search. In a tough job market like this one, I think she demonstrates quite well that she has the forward thinking attitude so many companies need today.

As some of us have learned the hard way at one time or another, you need to be a bit careful what you say online. Social Media tools like Facebook and Twitter take this to a whole new level. Read this example from a guy who is supposed to be an expert on Social Media.

At first this may seem like a silly question. You have already printed it on umpteen thousand brochures, submitted it to the search engines, attached it to letterhead and business cards, and maybe even named your company after it.
Now that we have established that your domain name is a very valuable piece of your identity, what would you do to protect it? Probably just about anything, including a trip to the courthouse to protect it as a copyright or trademark. Given all of this, you probably think you have all of your bases covered. Think again.
