Technically Speaking

While I posted yesterday about the BGCC launch press release, I started to think about this today – and decided to do a quick twtpoll.

Technically Speaking, I never seem to have much of a response out of these and have been told it’s because I give nothing away for you to vote! So for those people that get a great response to your polls – What do you give away to get people to vote???

Wow! The month of April has sped right on by. I guess that is what happens when you have one full time gig and a couple of part time gigs going on. So here are some quick items that just ran by me today that I wanted to share

- PercentMobile – Grab your invites if there are any left! I talked to David the CEO late this afternoon and he opened up some more invites, but those could be gone! You really need to know what your % Mobile is. And don’t forget to follow the twitter @mobileanalytics

To get a sense of some of the data you would see, check out this report for FourSquare, the mobile social network that MG is in love with. Not surprisingly, 76.5 percent of all of its traffic is mobile. Although it comes as an iPhone app, you can also access it via a mobile browser. The most popular device accessing it that way is not the iPhone (since most people use the app), but rather the Blackberry (9.9%), followed by HTC’s G1 Android phone (9.6%), followed by two more Blackberry models (8.9% and 7.4%), and then the iPhone (7.3%), and then another Blackberry (7.1%). Guess which platform FourSquare is going to develop an app for next? Yup, the Blackberry.

- EGolfGroup and Innovative Business Golf Solutions join forces to launch the Business Golf Country Club – Nice to see Scot getting this social network of his going quite well from what I read and hear. Also now they have the golf heaven connection, which I understand is anywhere from Palm Springs, CA – Sedona, AZ.

“The bond that links golf and business is indisputable,” says Bisbee. “On any given day thousands of executives take to the fairways because they have heard golf is good for business, only to discover the process for success is as difficult to master as basic golf technique.”

Duke, author of How to play business golf, founded his company after researching and playing business golf in different business environments only to realize the vast majority of golfers who attempt to use golf as a business tool fail to grasp the precise parallels.

“Like a private country club, the BGCC ensures an exclusive, safe and absolutely spam-free Internet environment for golf-related business and networking,” says Duke. “We afford our members the tools to post messages, communicate freely and exchange information with fellow BGCC members.”

The Business Golf Country Club makes every effort to screen out applicants who have no interest in golf or golfers. Spamming is not tolerated, nor posting any information for the soul purpose of selling products or services.

Technically Speaking, Full Disclosure time: I am working part time for PercentMobile in the capacity of Community Manager. Scot Duke and I have been friends for a few years now and we have done podcasts and other ventures in the past. Follow me on twitter to keep up with everything!

It’s that time of the year here in the #STL that usually wouldn’t be a problem, but this year due to some unforeseen circumstances, didn’t hire a yard crew. Now that spring is fully here, and some other unforeseen events, looks like it will only be for a short time anyways.

As many of you have read, I took the job out in Los Angeles with ShopitMedia as their Director of Publisher Management as announced here.

Some of you may be scratching their heads as you may have also seen this earlier post on RWW about another position I recently took with Bit.ly in a consulting role as their Community Manager.

No confusion. The Bit.ly gig was only a part time opportunity which I’m still doing at least for the current time being. The ShopitMedia gig is full time. Also, note that Shopit is the main company. Lot’s of interesting stuff they offer, so you may want to check that out if you aren’t looking for traditional banner advertising.

And what about the siliconANGLE blog? Oh yeah, I’m still doing that also! Just not as much as I use too, but I contributed an article there this week. I also participated in several different threads over there, as that is what we want to see – other people’s angles via the commenting! Also – We still need more regular contributors to sign up! We already have had many new names show up in the past week, but we can always use other angles!

Technically Speaking, you have been updated, and now some yard work awaits me!

While I had a very successful trip to Los Angeles, of course I am a bit behind and just finally getting around to catching up on my RSS feeds. I found this video below that is just a pure LOL / ROFL video. Great way to break up a rather busy morning. Of course, found where else? On the blog that never sleeps!

Technically Speaking, the trip to LA did in fact land me a new full time gig as – Director of Publisher Management at Shopit.com.
