Online Marketing - Facebook
Nowadays, Facebook is very popular. Most of friends have a Facebook account. Moreover, you may have few hundreds people in your friends. But, have you ever thought to use it as a tool to your website?
Firstly, they are all friends. You have a good relationship with them. I believe they are interested to visit your website. They are your most valuable target audiences. I believe that is more helpful than you have a link on some popular web portal with thousands of people viewed your link. But maybe they have not paid attentions to that.
Secondly, Facebook has some good tools to let your friends know about your website. You can put your URL of website in your profile. Yes, that is a common feature. What I like to use “notes” and “posted items”. When my blogs have any major changes, I post a note to update all of my friends. When I wrote any good articles, I will post a link in “posted items” to draw my friends’ attention. If your website are related with a real entity, you can create a page with your website. Your friends can become a fan of your website.
Facebook is helpful to promote your website and that is FREE!
Netbook with 3G
I will consider to buy a netbook if that is in 3G. Because I mainly use that to connect internet. You can say I can use wifi. But in Australia, that is not many places have wifi. 3G internet is the best opinion. That is the most important, the netbook is still like a toy. That is not very useful for myself.
There will be still strong in IT if we can find the way to help the company cutting cost.
I have asked about the future of IT industry under the current situation. Well, IT is a kind of business supportive industry. If the business is good, IT industry will be good. But if we can foucs on helping the business to cut cost by using IT system. I believe the trend of company to cut cost. Moreover, the best salse model should have paid by monthly service fee. I think the company will be more willing to pay the monthly service fee than a large block of cash one-off.
Always, there will be tomorrow , and future. All we need to use do, spending more brain power!
Hard disk backup
I just went back from Hong Kong. I got an external harddisk around HKD$500 for 160GB. Well, I believe there is not many reasons for myself to burn DVDs as the backup method. I got a NAS at home. Now, I will create another copy in my external harddisk. It saves time and money.
I am still a friend of Fedora.
