Many of you ask if I recommend getting a Twitter account for someone that has a business. Well, what is Twitter anyway? In short, Twitter is a real-time short messaging service that works over multiple networks and devices. Sounds confusing doesn’t it? Without getting too much into details I will just cover the basics, and explain what I personally think of Twitter. It is a web tool that allows you to post a sentence or two (up to 140 characters, in other words a size of a text message) describing what you are up to at the moment. And if someone is interested in knowing what’s happening in your life or business, they can “follow you” by receiving those short messages either on their own Twitter page or have the message delivered to their cell phone as soon as you update your so-called status.

Social Networks are In. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Delicious, Flickr. Chances are you have an account with most of them. The problem I’m seeing with many business owners is lack of time updating their statuses on all the social networks they are a part of. Imagine logging-in into one network at a time and updating it with the same message over and over again. This can take so much of your time! Not to mention you’ll need to be on a computer to do that as many social networks are not as mobile-friendly. Due to this problem you either give up posting your updates, or stick with one or two networks and completely abandon the others. I know because it happened to me.

Today, while working with one of our corporate customers I was asked to provide a report that lists all their Movable Type 4 users and the blogs those users are associated with.
Unfortunately Movable Type 4 doesn’t provide any type of reporting functionality, especially in the form of CVS file that can be imported into Excel for further manipulation.

The subject says it all. It is very important for you to use your own domain name with your blog instead of using one that you get with some free blog services such as Blogger, TypePad, WordPress and other less popular platforms.
I will explain why it’s important. Let’s assume for a moment that you decided to start a blog, and instead of going the “right” way from beginning and using your own domain name on your own blog hosting account, you decided to use a free blogging service such as wordpress.com or blogger.com. Your new blog address is you.wordpress.com or you.blogspot.com
