What Did You Learn on the Internet Last Week That You Can Use in Your Business?

I'm trying something new in this space. Each week I will compile a list of things we have learned on the Internet. Revelations, Aha moments, interesting facts, great videos or blogs, etc. So submit your items to me through a comment posting on this blog or email at lbohlen@previewproperties.com and look here next Monday (1/12/08) for the round-up. I bet we can learn alot from each other.

So to get you thinking, here are a couple things I learned last week:

  1. One thought can spread quickly. Example: over 1.2 million people have joined the Facebook Group "I Dont care How Comfortable Crocs Are, You Look Like A Dumbass." Now, you would think this would hurt Crocs, but I bet a whole bunch of people in this group actually own the shoes and are OK they look dumb. And there are at least 20 other Facebook groups focused on the Crocs brand.
  2. I started spending time on Twitter. I registered a few months ago but had ignored it until recently. I'll share my adventures in coming weeks but here's a great list of reasons for you to use Twitter for your business by Chris Brogan of New Marketing Labs. (http://www.chrisbrogan.com/50-ideas-on-using-twitter-for-business/

So - as you stumble upon things this week share them with me - then come back next Monday for the compilation.

  1. I have to admit my family wears crocs. I was the lone holdout for about 2 years because I think I was a charter member of the "I don't care how comfortable Crocs are, I didn't want to look like a dumb___!" Now I am a member of the "Man these are ugly things on my feet but they sure are comfortable and as I get older that becomes more important club" I think Andy Rooney has the same feelings about trimming his eye brows, based on watching 60 minutes last night.

  2. My wife wears Crocs. I think they are only useful for wet wading while fishing in the lake, or perhaps canoeing. To me the only good croc is a wet croc. And if you think this opinion is a 'crock' - well, maybe I'm all wet.
