Well, perhaps not. If I designed stuff like that who would design the simple stuff? Anyway, I need to design a logo today. Hmm... maybe I'll use an apple in the logo:-)
As I cruise blogs; word and photoblogs, I notice links on sites of communities used by bloggers. Sometimes they've installed a badge with multiple ways to share their post. Typically I accidentally find the badge when my mouse hovers over it as I attempt to click on another link.
There was a time when I could have named the social networks, but lately it seems like there's a newly released site everyday.
I could be more wordy; nobody has ever accused me of be succinct:-), but I'll cut to the chase.
If you go to addthis.com you can make a badge for your site with the following features. People can click on links from your badge and email it, print it, digg it, send it to myspace - (actually their space:-), facebook, Twitter (then it can be retweeted and twittered a zillion and one times).
They can add the post to their favorites, make something Delicious with it:-), see what the google boys say about it, make it Live, stumbleupon it (or make someone else stumble:-), and last but not least they can do at least 225 more things to a post on a blog.
About a month ago I read that any business in this economy must have a word blog to survive. I don't know if I believe that or not. I've had a word blog for a decade and it hasn't been the magic formula for generating new clients.
The portrait of the man in this post brought a smile to my face as I viewed his glazed over eyes look and read the description he wrote in his post. There are days I feel like that:-)
I thought the article entitled, "Time to Talk" was worthy of the cyberspace it's floating in:
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. –George Bernard Shaw
