Web Marketing Pro Blog

It has been far too long since my last post here on the Web Marketing Pro Blog. Not a blogging strategy anyone should try to emulate! The Facebook conference (Community Building in the Age of Facebook) mentioned in my last post was excellent. Many of the new things McBuzz has in the works center around the great stuff I learned there — with guidance and inspiration from the awesome group of web professionals I met. To see who I’m talking about, go to the Seattle Facebook Event website.

Running two blogs under one domain as we do with the main McBuzz Communications site and the Web Marketing Pro Blog has been a worthwhile endeavor, one that I’m about 99% sure I will not continue when mcbuzz.com gets its next revamp.

Does it seem like everywhere you look right now someone is talking about Facebook? I’ve seen reports about Robert Scoble taking over Facebook. Scoble is someone to take note of, whatever he is up to. Here Scoble offers a video of Steve Broback talking about a Seattle Facebook Event called Community Building in the Age of Facebook. Scoble uses video all the time on his blog and elsewhere. More and more, this is going to be how people blog and put information up on websites. And Scoble likes Facebook. So we should keep an eye on Facebook.

Scoble thinks Facebook is hot because it is much more of a “media channel” than a blog. I’m still getting my head around this. Here’s a good rundown of Facebook for Professionals in the meantime.

What’s your point?! you ask? Mark McLaren and McBuzz Communications will be attending the Seattle Facebook Event. Very fired up about it. Check it out!

These Internet Explorer privacy problems may be old news to some, but they were new news to me. Yet another reason to use the Firefox web browser when given the choice.

Also well worth noting is that anyone using Firefox add-ons IE View or IE Tab may be succeptible to one of the same security flaws (clipboard content theft) while using the Firefox browser on Windows.

Following up on the fact that McBuzz Communications has moved its offices to Seattle…

Within the next week or so, I will get down to business and back to talking about the robots.txt file and the Google supplementary index and good web marketing stuff like that, but in the meantime…

As I told a friend, I’m getting so much more done, albeit not on the Web Marketing Pro Blog, now that I have that third tap in the kitchen (the piping hot coffee tap mentioned in the previous post).

Now it seems there’s even more reason to celebrate, and one more reason Washington is ranking high on Forbes list of best states for business :

Seattle has high-end coffee and world-class software. And its chocolate’s not too bad, either.

McBuzz Communications and Mark McLaren have moved to Seattle, Washington. Check out the address in the upper right corner of the page.

Seattle is an awesome city with all kinds of Internet and IT activity. My favorite thing about it, though, is that, in addition to the standard kitchen taps for hot and cold running water, it’s a city law that there be a third tap out of which flows piping hot coffee! That’s the real reason we moved here.
