Hot Tips and Cool Stuff

Here are some cool things I wanted to share

• Disconnect: The truth about cell phone radiation

I just heard part of an interview with the author of this new book on NPR talking about cell phone radiation. I'm going to pick up a copy myself. In the meanwhile, don't put the cell phone up next to your BRAIN! Use a headset.

• I recently discovered Mail Chimp for email marketing

They are AWESOME! Their website is beautiful, fun with very intuitive navigation. Their product is great, easy to use, powerful and tiered to fit any budget - including no budget! And... they have all the bells and whistles you could want for integrating and tracking with Social Media. Check them out! 

• Is this your website on an Iphone?  

A recent article in Wired talks about the fate of the internet and where technology is headed. And its important because it may impact your online marketing in unexpected ways. In particular, if you have a wesbsite made entirely in Flash - then what people may see on an iphone is a BLANK. Why? Because the makers of Apple and Flash are war! And Apple's iphone and ipad won't display anything Flash.

• Still think Social Media is a fad?

for the answer - watch this video. And I'm pretty sure I saw this one months ago... so it might already be dated! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeTiX_cnLZk&NR=1

International Freelancers Day FREE

I've been attending International Freelancers Day online - and its been just great. A few technical glitches, but nothing to worry about.

Its a 2 day online conference for freelance and solo practitioners. Lots of good stuff about marketing, productivity, social media and such. Good for nearly anyone in business.

There are still some great sessions and space available. And if you sign up today, you can have access to all the sessions by video next week. But you have to sign up.
