Cyber Monday Publicity Stunt: Amazon Octcopter Package Delivery

Posted on December 2, 2013 Written by Bill Hartzer

Today is Cyber Monday, Monday December 2, 2013. What better to get free publicity (and plenty of it, mind you) by coming up with a publicity stunt. I’m going to go out on a limb here, and call it like I see it: Amazon’s Jeff Bezos’ appearance on CBS television last night on 60 Minutes was nothing but a publicity stunt. Perfect timing, too, huh? Right before Cyber Monday. [Read more…]

CNET Spyware: CNET Downloads Come with a Bonus, Unwanted Programs and Spyware

Posted on February 5, 2013 Written by Bill Hartzer

We can now officially call it CNET Spyware. CNET Downloads, formerly a trusted source of downloads, now comes with an unhealthy dose of unwanted programs and add-ons installed on your PC without your consent, changed default search settings, and spyware. It’s now unsafe to download anything from CNET. So now, as a result of unwanted programs and add-ons being installed without your consent, I’m calling it CNET Spyware. [Read more…]

Posted on June 29, 2012 Written by Bill Hartzer

When it comes to a perfect blog post, I personally define it as being a blog post that meets its objectives. What are the goal(s) for the blog post? Why are you writing it, and what net effect do you want to get from it? [Read more…]

Overblog – How to Make the Most of Social Media

Posted on June 11, 2012 Written by Bill Hartzer

If you have ever tried to add your social media content to your blog, you know how troublesome it can be. Setting up automatic tweets, and posts is pretty easy, but what if you want to add stuff that is happening live? You first would have to log into your blogging account, and go through several steps before you are able to post your content.

For those who are looking for a simpler solution to this ever growing problem of being able to conveniently share your social media content while on the go, then you might want to check out Overblog.com.

Posted on March 7, 2012 Written by Bill Hartzer

Everyone is busy these days, and unfortunately blogging is one of those things that always seems to get pushed to the back of our to-do list.

This is the first time since 1980 that the Federal Trade Commission has revised its guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. [Read more…]
