Is Google Plus banning article links that reflect badly on Google? I tried to post as a link for an article several times and got the following message:
Could not load website. - Retry

Hmmmmm......It allows me to paste in the message body.

Interesting perspective along with a couple tips for early G+ marketers looking to attract following.

This is a dish called Odori-Don. It has a dead squid on top that “dances” when Soy Sauce is poured on it, activating it’s neurons. (so f'ing cool! remember, it's DEAD!)

Very interesting and education.

Derek Handley, mobile marketing pioneer and the co-founder of recently acquired Hyperfactory has a new startup in process that adds audio tracks to ebooks. Interesting concept. Now you can hear a sound track when reading a book that changes with the text story line in similar process to sound tracks to movies. When a door opens and make a "creaking" noise in the story, you hear a "creaking" noise in the sound track, just like at the movies or on TV.

Whether this is a novel fad or new trend will have to be watched over time. But at least for now, it's a new way to read ebooks. Download a couple samples to hear for yourself.

Happy New Year

I am about to head out the door and I will be working through the New year so this is my only chance to wish you all a happy and wonderful New year.

I'll leave you with this video, even though I often get down in regards to what we can do to each other as a race I also love the fact that when we push ourselves we are capable of so much, keep pushing and enjoy life.

Which is more important on your social media site, the number of visitors or the quality of visitors? How do you define each? How do you influence them?

I'm noticing the new Samsung Galaxy S III will be released to Sprint and Verizon as a dual core phone because of LTE in the US where it's being released in Europe as a quad core phone.

Does this mean quad core phones will not be in the US for a while till the wireless carriers advance their systems?

Privacy ALERT!
If you use ANY internet browser to surf the net, you are tracked by more sites than you actually go to.
Mozilla has created an add-on for Firefox that allows you to view what web sites are tracking your browsing habits. A number of companies use this information to target advertising.
I'm not sure if there is a fool proof way to stop the tracking but supposedly Google Chrome is the supposedly the most secure browser currently.

If you want to get a bit paranoid, download Collusion for your Firefox browser to see who is tracking your browsing.
Check this link for a brief video about Colussion.

Does anyone know why Google Shopping is not returning hits when you enter specific names of vitamins or supplements?

I have my own online shopping site and can get premium grade vitamins there. But read in an article that Google Shopping was returning 0 hits. I checked myself on several key heath supplements, and got 0 hits.
Insight?

The Jurors reached a decision. The verdict is in but not announced yet!

Wow... better check to see if your Toyota model is on the list.
