Twttrlist

I just checked out Seth Godin’s TwttrList. It's a really fast way to see who has been tweeting about a subject of interest to you.
You can filter tweets by: by anyone, by me, by a user, my favorites.










I checked out nomadic entrepreneurs and lifetsyle entrepreneurs since this is an area I am researching at the moment for my new business helping nomadic entrepreneurs earn a living wherever they are in the world.

So you think you own your website ???

I read a seriously worrying post on Karyn Greenstreet's blog today about how to be absolutely sure that you own the website you hired someone to produce for you.

She was talking in the context of US law but I think we should all read her post and the associated articles and then go and find out what the applicable law is in the country where we do business.

But here's another thought: what law applies ? The law of the country where your business is based or the law of the country where the web designer is based ? and if the latter then what happens if they outsource to a designer based in yet another country - given the extensive use of Elance for outsourcing these days ???

Karyn's post is: Who own's your website ?

Have U got your unique Facebook URL ?

Did you know you can now set up a personal URL for your facebook profile that's so much easier to give as a link to others to help them find you? Mine is: http://facebook.com/gillianpritchett

To get yours go to http://facebook.com/username. Facebook will make some suggestions but you can choose your own. You can also get a unique URL for your pages (if it has over 1,000 fans !!).

Don't hang around on this one otherwise you someone else may take your name or business name !
