I was wondering if I was supposed to tell people when I was feeding my dog or brushing my teeth? I didn't really get it. Now I can't stop checking it, I am learning how to leverage it to build brand awareness and I now realize the great potential that it has. I have already met some great joint venture partners through it that appreciate the education I am bringing to consumers and would like to be an affiliate of mine to help get the word out.

Don't forget YouTube!!!! YouTube can get you a LOT of free hits if you make your video right. Recent studies (mine) show that Kitten videos get millions of more hits than other videos. So I'm plotting to nab a few kittens (my neighborhood has TONS of strays and kittens year round) and make videos of them cussing each other out along with my site's address in the bottom right corner. Look for them in the future! OOOooo! Don’t forget YouTube!!!!

That's one of the reasons political candidates can have so many 'friends.' These people define themselves by the political candidate they are supporting, so if Myspace is a window into who they are, that political candidate is a good label. I would think that a unique retail store would find Myspace a perfect fit, a local wine bar or restaurant, for instance. The way to capitalize on myspace? Update your blog weekly and ask your 'friends' to subscribe. Post interesting information using the Bulletin feature. Ask your Friends' friends to be YOUR friends.
