Twitter. What Happens Here Does Not Stay Here
I really didn't give it a lot of credence to Twitter at first. At the same time, how could I ignore it? Every television or radio interview eventually seemed to lead to Twitter, and more times than not it was being mentioned in newspaper articles as well. There had to be something to this rather benign cyber-monster that was beyond my comprehension. So I decided to give it a little more time and this time ask questions. I am glad I did so as it led me to persons, many of whom are still my close friends, and even business associates, and I tend to meet new people right away. There are a few things to know about Twitter (or any other social network). It is not the cozy quiet, static personal e-tool that it appears to be. What you type on Twitter does not stay there. In fact, it often appears on Google, MSN, Yahoo, and other search engines rather rapidly, sometimes within hours, depending on fast those particular spiders are operating on the day one is twittering. This can be used to your advantage or disadvantage...read more »
Video File Formats
To fully understand internet video and work with confidence, it pays to know the most common formats. This article lists the most common ones and their pros, cons and typical uses.
First, a brief explanation about why so many digital video file formats exist and what that really means.
Video files are huge. To play them on the web or your computer, they have to be compressed, or made smaller. This is done by designing ways to take information out of the video signal.

Time to Get Serious about Social Media
An interview with Chris Brogan, President of New Marketing Labs:
About RSS
RSS is a XML file format for syndicating content and news in the web. It is usually used by websites that constantly need to update their content regularly such as news websites (CNN, BBC and Reuters) and weblogs. Since it essentially gives one's webpage more traffic, it is now more widely used in marketing, web publications and virus reports. Today, large and small websites alike are usually RSS-enabled.
For example, you're an avid fan of baseball and you want to share something recent about one of the players. Other than content, you can also attach multimedia files, like videos or pictures. By using RSS feeds, other Internet users subscribed to RSS-enabled sites can read your "headline" for free. They can also track for changes and updates using news aggregators, which will be discussed later on...read more »
