Who Are All You People? Introduce Yourself Please.
If you're new here, you may want to learn more about me, introduce yourself or check out my best posts. Thanks for visiting!
I’ve managed to pretty much bite my tongue on this contest that I think is pretty much a ridiculous publicity stunt combined with a juvenile p*ssing match, but I wanted to do add yet another ridiculous few megabytes of trash out on the web in support of Graywolf with his V7ndotcom Elursrebmem great idea to help kids with leukemia at St. Jude’s hospital.
There’s tremendous value in reaching out to your target audience and soliciting feedback directly. It’s shameless, perhaps, but it also shortens the cycle for communicating with your early adopter customers. So what are you waiting for? Start promoting your blog.
Some recent golden advice from Sir Mike Grehan on “knowing your audience”, sent me down an avenue of thinking about the topic. I’ve heard it come up quite often, but I think the value in this information is grossly understated.
I started this post a while back, and thought I’d toss the idea out even though it’s far from complete. Maybe some other day.

The next post I’ll be doing is a tutorial for myspace junkies on how to get through a firewall to access the site. Many schools will block access to myspace (probably for good reason), but loyal users are persistent. Roger actually pointed this out to me when I interviewed him about the intense following that Myspace has amassed. I’m interested to see how many others are like his niece with the insatiable need to access one of their favorite websites. I thought I’d create a little link bait on the subject. Just wanted to give a bit of insight before the actual post.
