Do you ever finish your day with your inbox and task list complete? Amir Salihefendić is a CEO who prides himself on an empty calendar and empty inbox at the end of each day. In 2007 he created the to-do list app, Doist, from his college dorm room. Today it’s one of the world’s most popular task management apps with more than 25 million users. He’s set his remote-first company up to work asynchronously. This means everyone in his company works remotely and documents what they’re doing to reduce the need for a colleague to take time to pass on information. His company now employs 89 people in 32 countries. In 2015 his company created Twist, a communication platform designed to keep conversation flowing between staff, but reduce the live chat anxiety that usually comes with it. Prior to Doist, Amir was part of the founding team of Plurk, a Twitter precursor used by millions of people that continues to be one of the most popular social networking sites in Asia.

I have been using a free social media sharing platform for sometime, but never felt until now that I should write my own SocialAdr review outlaying why you should be using this free platform Learn More To get started, the main thing I like about SocialAdr that the idea is so simply and even simpler to use. Many backlinking and sharing programs are just too complex and needy for something that we want to be quick and effective. SocialAdr lets the user set everything up and then get on with their day without too much fuss. So, what does SocialAdr basically do? It mainly builds backlinks via social bookmarketing sites such as APSense, Plurk and Instapaper. I believed originally that this method would not be adequate enough to influence my sites ranking or traffic, but how wrong can you be. Of course, there is always the risk of being penalized by Google, but because the links are submitted by real people there is no footprint for the user. This is great, because in a very short amount of time you will see an increase in traffic on the webpage you are promoting.

For this forty-fourth episode, I talked to Amir Salihefendić, Founder and CEO of Doist, the company behind the leading to-do app Todoist and the asynchronous team communication platform Twist. Amir started working on Todoist in 2007 while he was a student, got some immediate coverage and a good amount of users, but then worked on other things for a while. He was the CTO of a social media company called Plurk and then tried building a project management system called Wedoist. Then in 2011, he decided to focus back on Todoist, which had hundreds of thousands of users by then and he’s been focused on growing it for the long term ever since. We talk about the advantages of building products for yourself, how synchronous team communication is stressing us all out, the difficulties of finding product-market fit in a busy industry, and how to stay competitive in the long run.

Ken ได้มีโอกาสไปที่ Lakewood, Colorado ช่วงเดือน Sept 2019 เพื่อพูดคุยกับ Nathan Sheers ผู้เชี่ยวชาญด้าน SEO เทคนิควิธี Ranking through Branding (RtB) ซึ่งเป็นอีกหนึ่งวิธีการที่จะทำให้เว็บไซต์ทำอันดับดีขึ้นในการค้นหาบน Google Search Engine หวังว่าคนที่ฟัง Podcast นี้จะสามารถนำไปใช้กับเว็บไซต์ของตัวเองได้ ติดตาม Ken ได้เพิ่มเติมทาง IG: https://instagram.com/kensittiofficial Transcribe: Nathan Scheer, running an SEO agency in Colorado. I've been doing SEO for about 10 plus years now. I've gone through some major mentorships over the years, I've probably spent closed to 50k~60k USD learning SEO. And over the years I have developed my own system which is called "Ranking through Branding." Can you explain further what's the meaning of Ranking through Branding? Ranking through Branding is basically taking major social platforms that everybody uses and transforms it into your brand that Google sees and helps you rank for your brand name, or any other keyword you're looking to rank for by using free sites like Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, Vimeo and there's about 45 others which I call the core profiles, and I continue to build these profiles in a way that it keeps building these specific profiles up over time, and that's what helps ranking. So, in case somebody wants to know the price, can you give them an idea what the pricing of Ranking through Branding? The pricing starts... you can do one round of what I call Ranking through Branding. There's actually 2 part; one part is the core profiles, and another is called the geotag profiles. And it works the best for local businesses, but you can also use it for affiliate and whatever else you want. But, for 1 round of that, that's about 75~80 profiles. If you want to do one (round) that's 2000 USD, if you do 3, it's 3000 USD, and I have a package where if you do one a month for a year, then it's only 500 USD per month. So I think can you give us some tips about the Ranking through Branding so the audience can apply.. maybe test by themselves One thing you can do specifically is since I’ve made this for local SEO, one thing to note is you have something called NAP, which is Name, Address, and Phone Number, and this is what you'd list on something like Yelp or Yellow Pages, or Manta, so when you go out and build your social profiles, say Twitter, Facebook, Pintrest, and Instagram, make sure you put your Name, Address, and Phone Number like you would if it was a Yelp listing, and that actually counts towards helping you rank in the Local Map Pack...

Click on the link below to discover MY number 1 tip to help your affiliate business. What do you think it is? http://www.trustthelink.com/ Hey, today I'm going to share with you some of the best social media sites for Backlinks that can help your affiliate business and to make money online. The first product I purchased to improve my affiliate marketing was Backlink Battleplan by Shaun Mchlough. With those tools I could get nearly any webpage to the first few spots in Google. I was using blog networks and article spinning. That was 10 years ago. The reason Google took off as a search engine was because they looked at who was backlinking your page that you wanted to rank. Before Google everyone was stuffing keywords into there webpage. Now things have changed and Google has cracked down on backlinks. You can't really game the system like you could many years ago using black hat seo tactics. This is why they really cracked down on backlinks. Now, some people recommend email blogs begging for a link back. It just is not as productive as focusing on the end user. Here is an example with YouTube videos the more people who click on your video and continue to watch it the better the rankings will be. Now, everyone creates custom thumbnails, so more people click on their video and they can rank. Whatever makes your thumbnail stand out, will probably get it more clicks. If people comment, like and share your video this also can help. Same thing with a blog or article. Everything should be for the end user because they vote and this tells Google who should be ranked 1 or 100. Of course it also comes down to supply and demand. If you are targeting keywords, where there is this massive supply then it's going to be hard to compete. If you are targeting keywords that don't have a lot of competition then it's going to be easier. This is economics 101. It's better to go after keywords that are not very competitive and you know your video or article will get seen. All you have to do is make sure the keywords are in the title and a few sentences in your description and tags. If Backlinks don't work for ranking a blog, article or video should someone still do it? If that can increase the eyeballs on your content then yes. One of the best places is Pinterest because it's a search engine in itself. Reddit can be another great one because there are over a million subreddits that you can advertise into. You just have to be careful and each place has there own rules. Those are 2 big places another one I recommend is Yahoo question or Quora. You answer a question and then link back to your content. Twitter is something I definatly use. There is a right way to do Twitter and wrong way. There are a few social bookmarking sites that can help, but I don't go crazy with it. Digg, Bibsonomy, Google Bookmarks, Tumblr and Plurk to name a few. There are a lot more, just realize they are probably not going to do a lot to help your post or video to rank. I do it because it only takes a minute and it might help, but probably doesn't. Focus on the end user, which is what Google and all the websites are focusing on and you will do better. I hope you got some value from this post or video on best social media sites for backlinks, if you did then please hit the thumbs up button. Lastly, I've been doing affiliate marketing for around 10 years.

The most ambitious people “Get. Sh*t. Done.” and that is what today’s guest Amir Salihefendic specializes in. Joining us from Portugal, Amir is the founder of Doist, the company which makes the very popular Todoist app. With millions of users, Todoist is one of the top to-list apps in the Apple App Store & Google Play Store. Amir grew up in an entrepreneurial family in Denmark after his family moved from Bosnia. Starting projects seems to have been in Amir’s blood from an early age. When he was fifteen he sold his first website and invested the money he made in a new Macbook in order to start a new business building and selling websites. Later he went on to build Plurk, and fast forward to today, Amir has built Todoist. The to-do list app started as a personal project for just himself, but when he released it on his personal blog to only 300 people, he saw there was immediate demand for it. Todoist has since grown to millions of users. Throughout this episode we discuss how Amir built his company with remote teams, scaled to several million dollars annually in revenue, and also: + How having entrepreneurial parents influenced Amir. + Why scaling too fast can hurt your company if you are not ready for it. + How to keep your life organized and efficient. + Why you should make powerful product features, simple. + The impact that mission, passion and culture can have on a company. + The best characteristics for employee's joining remote teams and where to find them. + How your employees are your biggest investments. + The importance of constantly investing in yourself across all the skill sets you need. + Focusing on high impact work and actively working to avoid distractions. + How to make the most of your To-do list and optimize it. + Why you need to "swallow the frog" at the start of every day.

Today's interview is with Amir Salihefendic. Since creating Todoist as a side project in 2007 while he was in University, he has been able to grow the company completely organically without ever raising VC funds. Currently, they have over 6M users, 44 team members in 24 countries (they're a completely remote company), and are experiencing about 10K organic downloads a day without doing any third party advertising. After growing up in war-torn Bosnia, Amir has an extremely unique view on business, productivity, and product design. Originally from Bosnia, Amir grew up in Denmark and studied Computer Science at Aarhus Univeristet in Aarhus, Denmark. Prior to Doist, Amir was part of the founding team of Plurk, a Twitter precursor used by millions of people that continues to be one of the most popular social networking sites in Asia. In this interview, Amir discusses his company structure, entrepreneurship tips and ways to build global companies.

Rob is in the hizzouse! After a hiatus filled with all sorts of tech, Rob joins Sorg and Chachi for this week's episode. Our guest for tonight is John Chichilla. We start off the show with traveler tales from Rob as he recaps his visit to SXSW where he did some exhibit work for Pepsico! Chachi gets a little jealous and recaps his own tech travels for work this week too. Chilla shows off his new toy - an iPad 3. How many hot spots are too many hot spots? We have some speculations this week. Because we all use our tech so much, the FAA is rethinking its policy on device usage in flight - especially when the pilot's flight plan is on his iPad. And, we circle back around to Windows 8 for a brief moment before delving into the joys IT professionals have with the overwhelming availability of so many technological options from computers to phones to tablets in today's workplace. We wrap the show with Chachi's vow to bring back Plurk! So check it out. And, if you like it, join us live Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. EST.

Audio File:  Download MP3Transcript: An Interview with Laura Fitton CEO and Co-founder, OneForty Date: April 25, 2011 NCWIT Entrepreneurial Heroes: Interview with Laura Fitton [musical introduction] Lucy Sanders: Hi, this is Lucy Sanders, the CEO of NCWIT, the National Center for Women In Information Technology. This is the next interview in a series of interviews we've had with women who have started wonderfully successful tech companies. We're always interested to catch up with our latest entrepreneur and see what she's doing. With me is Larry Nelson, W3W3.com. What's going on at W3W3, Larry? What's the news? Larry Nelson: Well, I'm trying to learn more about Twitter. Other than that, things are going good. We've got a number of business people who tune into the various shows with NCWIT. It's not only business leaders and parents, but also many young women who listen for some great ideas. Lucy: Today we're interviewing someone who is known as the Queen of Twitter, Laura Fitton. I guess that's why you said something about Twitter, isn't it? [laughter] Well, you need to get the number right in your Twitter. Larry: I was just trying to check her out there. Lucy: We're interviewing somebody who is known as the Queen of Twitter, Laura Fitton. Laura Fitton: [laughter] I think Lady Gaga deserves the crown now. Lucy: Lady Gaga! Laura: Once upon a time. Lucy: [laughter] That would be great, maybe we should try to interview Lady Gaga. Any way, Laura is the founder of oneforty.com. Oneforty.com helps people understand Twitter and the exploding ecosystem of applications and services built on it. Oneforty.com has been called the "app store" for Twitter by TechCrunch and others. It's really a place to find awesome tools that really help you use Twitter, not just in ways for yourself but also for your business and so forth. I went and looked at some of the apps there and it just shows how much I need to catch up on the world of Twitter. [laughter] Laura: It's so true. We started out the Consumer App store and quickly learned from our users that they need us to cut through all the noise and provide them with reporting, with solutions to streamline their social business. Oneforty.com is really the place where tool providers, experts, and business leaders are sharing all their advice and lessons learned regarding social business. If your business needs to be getting into social media, this is the place to start. Lucy: Well, Laura, we're really happy you're here today. Maybe you could start off quickly telling us the latest news from oneforty.com. I think it's a place that most of us really need to know about. Laura: Sure! Thank you. In the last four months, we've done a pretty significant pivot, again user-led. We offered people a little thing we called "Toolkits," which were these humble little lists. The idea was, well you're using Twitter online but you're also using it on your phone and a few other places, using a lot of different tools. People came in and said, "Well, here's how to market a car dealership," "Here's how to market a restaurant." Or, "Here's what a realtor needs to know about social media and social business." So we responded to our users like any good startup does. In the last three weeks, we have completely relaunched the site centered around four business personas. All of the directory is still there, but we're really focusing it on connecting people with what they need to streamline and scale social. Lucy: So oneforty.com three weeks ago had a relaunch? That's pretty exciting news. Like I said, the site was just great and I really enjoyed looking at it yesterday. Laura: Thank you so much. The other thing that's new is that I was just on a webinar where I gave a sneak preview of some products that we're just launching that put everything you need for social all in one place-tools, all the workflow, all the guides on what to do next. Kind of training wheels for social engagement, making it really easy. Lucy: So Laura, it's really pretty exciting times at oneforty.com. Thanks very much for telling us all about the new site launch three weeks ago. It's really a great site and we really appreciated taking a look at it earlier this week. One of the things we like to find out from our entrepreneurs is how they first got interested in technology, as well as ask them a follow-up question to that where we ask them to look into their crystal ball regarding which technologies they think are out there that will change things even more? Laura: Awesome. Well I was a kid who was really into science, so I came to technology through science. In fact, my degree is in Environmental Science and Public Policy. I always played around with consumer web technologies, but never got involved in software development or anything like that, quite up until I did the startup. So it was a very odd choice for me, because I'd never seen software built. I knew tons of people in the interactive industry who did build software. I had lots of friends who had invested in it, had worked at startups, had run startups. But I myself had never done it. My connection to startups was that I was kind of a communications consultant. I did a lot of work on helping people to present and speak more effectively. And obviously entrepreneurs are constantly on the hot-seat having to present, so I stayed very close to the startup community but never dove into it myself. Long story short, I moved to Boston in 2006 just in time to have my second kid. They're like 14 or 15 months apart. I've no business network up here and I have to restart that communications consulting firm after nearly two years out of the market. So I get into blogging. I hear about this Twitter thing. I blog how stupid this Twitter thing is, around March 2007. And then two months later, the nickel drops and I say, wait a minute. I can surround myself with successful, interesting people and still be this home-based mom of two kids under two, and yet stay motivated and inspired throughout my workday. And that is exactly what appealed to me about Twitter when Twitter finally did appeal to me. Then I got so emphatic over how so much it was changing my life and how amazing and exciting it was for me that I just ran out there with this blog post called, "Ode to Twitter" on something like August 11, 2007. I mailed it to Guy Kawasaki, who, believe me, had never heard of me. And I just started telling everyone who would listen. To my great luck, Guy Kawasaki did listen and then turned around and trumpeted to the rest of the world. So in this very short time, I went from not even really knowing what the term "web 2.0" means in March 2007 to being profiled by the author of "Naked Conversations," one of the first major books in the space, less than a year later in April 2008. The next month, Wiley is coming to me asking me to write "Twitter for Dummies." I'm relaunching my communications consulting firm as a Twitter for business consulting firm, which was a little insane to do in September 2008. It was still really early on the concept and I'm just incredibly lucky that I staked my career on Twitter and not on one of the competitors like Pounce or Plurk, most of which have dried up or disappeared. I got very excited about a technology, because it made huge personal and professional changes in my life. It's like the classic adage to follow your passion and you can't go wrong. I was still was dragged into it kicking and screaming, though. For four months after having the idea for oneforty.com, I was trying to pawn it off on somebody else. But hey, you go build the startup and I'll advise. I'm smart enough to not do a startup. I know they're kind of hell. I'm in the middle of a divorce and have two very young kids. (They were two and three at the time.) And yet I failed at quitting it. I kept trying to quit it and I kept failing at quitting. So in March 2009 I finally started it up in earnest and it's been two years now. Lucy: You know, your comments kind of lead to our second question. Larry: Boy, I'll say, is that a fact. Here you came into this thing through science. You've been through all the different types of things, you knew you wanted to give it up. But... Lucy: And she tried to not be an entrepreneur. Larry: Yeah, exactly. Laura: I tried so hard. I'd worked for a startup in my 20s and the guy was nuts. [laughter] Laura: I've worked with a lot of entrepreneurs and I love entrepreneurs. You have to be fundamentally out of touch with reality on some level to be an entrepreneur, because otherwise you would know that your idea can't possibly work. You need enough detachment from that to be able to go make it work. Which is great, but boy, it puts you into some weird places, doesn't it? Larry: Boy, I'll say so. What is it about entrepreneurship that makes you tick? Laura: I don't know, because I never thought I was an entrepreneur until this happened. [laughter] I have mad curiosity. I love to see things for myself. One of the people who has been kind enough to mentor me is Tony Hsieh, who is the CEO of Zappos. I won't be able to remember exactly what they were, but he asked me three very simple framing questions when I was kind of whimpering and whimpering and saying that I couldn't possibly be the CEO. It was, "Do you have that natural drive and curiosity?" "Do you want to see things for yourself?" And one other thing. He said, "If you have that, you're good. Everything else, you can learn." Lucy: Zappos is a great company. I just ordered my son four birthday shirts from them. Larry: Oh, all right! [laughter] Laura: That's the [inaudible 9:00] , girl. Tony is a fantastic human being, very generous with what little time he has. Lucy: It sounds like Tony definitely supported you on your way on your career path. Do you have other role models or mentors or other people who influenced you? Laura: I was carried by this net, literally my network. When I first did my angel pitch, there were a few people I knew in the investment community who charitably dialed in to hear it and asked me leading questions to help me understand what I was missing. One of them was Christine Herron, who at the time was with First Round Capital and now is with Intel Capital. She literally had to ask me in my first angel pitch, "Laura, where's the pricing coming from?" And I didn't even know what the word "pricing" meant at that point. [laughter] I was that naive. I tried to answer it. Later another person-again, these were friends because of social networking-Dave McClure was kind enough to take the time to listen to the recording. He asked, "Do you know what Christine was trying to tell you, Laura?" I said candidly, "No." And he explained it to me. So I was carried by this huge network of cheerleaders and supporters and mentors. One of the weird, kind of, "rags-to-riches, Cinderella" aspects of all of this is, I was so completely unknown, and then a year later I was in a book by Seth Godin and I was being mentored by Seth and by Guy Kawasaki and by people whose blogs I'd been reading for a long time and looking up to. And it actually took awhile to come to terms with accepting that. Like I felt guilty. I felt like, why am I getting all this time from all these busy people, there's nothing that special about me, I'm just sort of whatever. And then the way I came to peace with how incredibly generous the world was being with all of this was just like, OK, maybe they see a chance to get something done in the world by helping me get it done. So my responsibility to pay back the debt of all this mentorship is not only to do mentoring when I finally have bandwidth to do it, but to follow through and to make sure I realize the riches I've been given and try to create something with it. So that's been incredibly powerful to keep me going. Lucy: Well, and you know this interview is part of a give back. We have had a lot of people listen to these interviews, we have a social networking campaign with Twitter right now, on this interview series, so we really thank you for being with us and giving some of that advice back. Laura: Thanks. Larry: Well you know with all of the neat things you've done, Laura, what is the toughest thing that you've ever had to do in your career? Laura: That is such a great question. I was going to say that, the days after you run into a wall, because make no illusion, you run into a wall time, time and time again when the start-up [inaudible 11:46] , you fail all the time. Investors flake, co-founders drop out, people you hired don't work out, whatever. It's constantly running into a wall. And the next moment where you have to pick yourself up and dust yourself off, is really painful, it's hard. And just staying calm and.. and one lesson I've learned? Being radically nice to everybody, even if they kind of screwed you over. Because it preserves the relationship and you never know where that relationship leads in the future. That said, I'm very lucky, in that the energy just kept surging back to get through those times. I can't even take ownership of that, it was like being a lightning rod. I would give up, I would go to sleep like, "OK it didn't work, tomorrow I'll figure out something else," and I'd wake up still hell-bent on making it happen. So I was lucky. Lucy: Wow, it's great advice to be radically nice to people, even if you think they screwed you over. [laughs] I mean, it's powerful advice and I think it's advice that you might give to any young person who was thinking about being an entrepreneur. Do you have any other advice that you might tell a young person if they were on this call right now or listening to this interview? Laura: I think it's really important to not discount the most trite, childhood, what-your-mother-tells-you of all, is really be yourself. People told me that. I really struggled growing up, I was not socially well adapted, I was very emotional and kind of out of touch with my colleagues, like had a hard time in elementary school. And everyone was like, "oh just be yourself!" and I'm like "yeah, right." You know, "everybody hates me, I can't be myself." But it is so true that the more I was able to connect with "OK, that is what makes me tick, I'm just going to go with it." I mean, I never set out to think, "I'm going to rave about Twitter for a year and a half and someday it's going to be my job to do that." I just couldn't contain my excitement. So things worked out really well for me. I was very lucky. Larry: You know, with all the things that you've been through, in your childhood, preschool and everything else, what are the personal characteristics that really give you the advantage of being an entrepreneur? Laura: Definitely resilience. Some of the greatest gifts that I've been given in life were times that frankly sucked. I won't trot them all out, but... a couple tough things here and there. A couple really scary things that ended really well, like a premature baby and a very minor stroke, and things like that. But those are huge gifts and I don't think people see them in the moment when they're first happening. Again, I want to fall back to the trite, "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger," but there is huge, huge, huge silver lining in every negative thing that happens to you. Even if it's just making up a story in your head like "hey, that felt really terrible but I actually just dodged a bullet, because it could have been this," and I look back at the tough times and I am so grateful for every single one of them. I'm sad for the places where something terrible happened and it made other people sad, but I'm so grateful for how much strength they gave me and how much ability to bounce back and how much calm they gave me. I would not give up a single one of them. Lucy: That's just wonderful advice. That's so true of life in general, right? Being able to learn from tough times. Laura: Yeah. Lucy: And really integrate that into how you're looking at situations. Laura: I really do just straight-up cherish some of them. Lucy: Yeah, I think personally I had some in my corporate career that ultimately led to me coming here and doing what we're doing now with MC Wit, and it's just kind of interesting when you look back and thing "gosh, if that hadn't happened I wouldn't be here." Larry: Yep. You bet. Laura: Right! Lucy: It's totally the case. Laura: You know one of the more bizarre things I did was when I was about 26 or 27 I kind of more or less adopted one of my nieces. Who was, you know, "go and live with your aunt for the fun of it," right? So she had a couple things. And my mom was so, like, almost mad at me. She thought I was crazy to do it. But it was huge, I got so much more out of that experience than I put into it. A lot of growing up, a lot of taking responsibility, a lot of learning about how radically permanent love for a child is, because she really was functionally my daughter for three years, when she was 15, 16 and 17. And I remember thinking, "oh how hard can it be?" And wow, it was really hard. You know, being a teenager is tough, and being a teenager who's had a crappy run-in up to there was tough, too. But it took me out of my shell, it made me connect to people in new ways, my career catapulted because I had to get my act together. And I just love her so much, it was just incredible, it taught me a lot. Lucy: Well and that kind of gets to our next question we were talking some about, sometimes people say "oh, you should have balance between your work and your personal life," and how do you bring balance. We've talked to people about it really being an integration, and we're just curious to get your point of view on this issue of work- life balance and how you achieve it? Laura: It's tough and I don't think I'm super good at it. Yeah, not enough. I try to be really present with my kids when I'm not working. I would really love to bike commute more often, because it's about a nine mile, very flat, ride, very easy, takes the same amount of time the train does but forces me to exercise. And I think that's really important in managing the stress. Again, in a twisted way, I'm lucky that I'm divorced, because my ex is a fantastic dad, and he and his fiance are a great family for my girls in the 50 percent of the time I don't have them. I use that 50 percent of the time I don't have them to do all the extremes like, stay up late and work, or travel, or the different things you have to do to do a start-up. And I think that it would be tough if it was an intact marriage, and I didn't have that really clear-cut line of "OK, you are not a mommy right now." Yeah, of course I call them and stuff like that. But I'm not functionally needing to be there for them. And being more present when I am there with them. Larry: My goodness, I must say that you have really done a great deal, you've achieved a lot. What's next for you? What's on the horizon? Larry: You know, I don't think you ever feel like you've achieved a lot. I always feel just like, "oh crap, what's next? Oh my god, we've got to surmount this, we've got to surmount that." It's not like our company's profitable. It's not like we have a billion users. And I think if you asked everybody along wherever they are in the entrepreneurial process, they'd probably talk a lot more about what's yet to come than about what they feel they've achieved. So there's a ton of professional development I want to do, a lot of skills I want to improve upon and learn. I have this little fantasy about joining a team in the future where I'm a relatively junior part and I can really stretch and grow and learn from others who are just the best at what they do. I still don't have very much management experience, I never had an employee before oneforty.com, and so that means it's been really tough for me and for my employees to learn how to manage on the fly, learn all about software on the fly, learn all about business on the fly. And I just feel like I have so much more growing to do. Lucy: Well we have no doubt that oneforty.com is headed towards great success. Laura: Thank you very much. Lucy: We really do thank you and wish you the best of luck. So I want to remind listeners that they can find us at w3w3.com and also mcwit.org and to tell their friends this is a great interview, and to go visit oneforty.com and learn more about how to use Twitter. I know Larry's going there! Larry: I'm going to oneforty.com . Lucy: I saw him underline "Twitter for Dummies." [laughter] Laura: It's tough, right, I can't really give out my book as a gift because it's a bit insulting, isn't it? Thank you so much for the opportunity, such a salute out to, it shouldn't matter, but to the women in technology who are my heroes. Because it is inspiring to see, you know, Padmasree Warrior as the CEO of Cisco, Kara Swisher just tearing it up in tech journalism, Katarina [inaudible 19:01] , one of the first social media founders of a company. Rash [inaudible 19:12] is running slideshare.net, Marissa Meyer who's done phenomenal things at Google. It shouldn't matter whether, you know, I'm inspired by lots of men, too, but it really does mean a lot and I'm just so grateful for all of them and their work. Lucy: Well thank you, and I know people are really going to enjoy this interview. Larry: Yeah, thank you. Laura: Thank you. Lucy: All right, bye Laura. Laura: Take care, bye bye.

Tu beuzes, toi ? Moi non plus. Enfin, si, un peu, au debut… Mais mon Mac, y m'en a vite degoute, du Google Buzz… Tu le connais, mon Mac ! Plus sceptique que lui, tu meurs…

We'll discuss how to use, and why we should or shouldn't use in libraries Twitter, Facebook, Martindale-Hubbell Connect, WorldCat.org, Plurk, and all the other social media tools.

With less than a week before the baby is born, it's either now or never for Episode 124!! It's another new year for Trapped on Vacation!  Whoda thunk I'd still be at this in 2009???  Not me, that's for sure!  Trapped on Vacation is the longest running completely non-commercial Disney podcast on the Internet, and I’m pretty darnn proud of that!  I'm also darnn proud of the many friends that I've made over the years.  (That's you by the way...)  My many friends are the #1 reason that I keep on plugging away.  While the episodes may be released a bit slower than at the start, I blame my friends for that... (that's you again!)  Between episodes I'm constantly distracted by all of you on The DPN, Twitter, Plurk, and of course playing in real life at Walt Disney World.  If I haven't met you yet, I'd love to meet you!  Drop me a line if you're visiting Orlando and hopefully we can hang out for a bit!  I've met most of my closest friends that way!!! Speaking of closest friends, I had the pleasure of spending this episode with the Non-Podcasting Co-Founder of the DPN - BurntToast, who recently transferred from Disneyland to the Walt Disney World Resort.  We did they typical TOV anniversary things.  Although we sent you somewhere else for 1/2 of it. :) Have fun, and thanks for 4 wonderful years! BTW It wouldn't be a TOV anniversary if I didn't give a shout out to my friends Darcy & Holly from the  Darcy and Holly Show and The Screenless Switchers for inspiring me to podcast.  I blame them 100% for my insanity.  Thanks guys, you're the best!:)

The pilot episode of Deantastic Podcast is here!Before we go any further, let me just say this: this is one crappy episode in terms of audio quality. I'm still learning the ropes of Adobe Audition and podcasting in general and I'm working with a basic 3.5-mm omnidirectional microphone. Apologies for the quality. I promise I'll get better in future episodes.It's also ridiculously short—five minutes for chrissake! I worked entirely off a script here. As soon as I get the hang of it, expect the podcast's runtime to lengthen.So, anyway, in this episode of the Deantastic Tech Podcast:Skype for the iPhone.

Because who wouldn't have enjoyed watching TWILIGHT, having a snapshot with edward&bella lookalikes, listening to urbandub and the other bands, and getting a nice twilight memorabilia (poster)?Sheri - When I saw the word TWILIGHT during the movie. Time froze and I started to hyperventilate. I can't believe that I'm watching the movie until that specific moment. It was surreal.Anna Nicolette - When I was eating dinner with my family and my dad suddenly asked me why the hale would I want to buy contacts. *real conversation*Dad: Bakit mo ba gustong bumili ng contacts?Me: *quiet*Mom: Para pumorma.Me: *still quiet*Dad: Gusto mo lang magmukhang Twilight (character) eh! Anung kulayba gusto mo?Me: *in a very hushed tone* Yellow(while I was speaking my mom spoke as well)Mom: Red!See? I have very supportive parents when it comes to my addiction to Twilight! My dad even bought me a Team Edward shirt from Hot Topic!Alex Jo - When I found out that my Edward Cullen is already by my side..XD( I realized that every person has its own Edward Cullen, and every person can BE someone's Edward Cullen.)Riyah - For me the most memorable Twilight-related moment is being literally going/visiting bookstores in malls (QC, makati, taguig, mandaluyong) looking and asking for the twilight saga books if it's available, going ga-ga over the internet on acquiring Twilight-related stuffs (shirts, pins, calendar, poster etc...).I've never been this obssessed about anything but there really is a charm that Edward Cullen has that makes girls drawn tohim although he is a fictional character. Jacq - Well, what do you know? I can consider myself as the Luckiest Pinay Twilighter of 2008 because of my Rome experience. I know anybody would give anything to have my place when I met them. However, the most memorable that happened is that I found a couple of friends from this Twilight craze and right now I can say we get along really well and I will forever treasure them for being part of existence.. No, we not only share Twilight FYI. =)Rome - I cannot think of any specific moment as there are far too-many. I'll just share the top of mind things.Becoming a member of TCP - It's my 2008 challenge for myself, doing something for the first time. Despite being a fan girl at heart, I never joined any local fandom groups aside from TCP. Having found new friends as a result of it is made of awesome.Discovering the Twilight Saga last June 2008 - without it, it wouldn't have led to thisWatching the movie 9 times which includes an advanced screening and a private viewing at PodiumReceiving a package of special editions of the Twilight books from my cousin in AustraliaPrezeuz - my ninang asked me what i want for christmas. since i still don't have the books, i asked na twilight na lang. indi ko na inexpect na mabibigay nya yun kasi kuripot yun! but when we saw each other again, she told me "uy, wala nang stock, gusto mo yung soundtrack na lang? haha! magkano yun?" "P450 siguro," i answered" "wag na lang! ang mahal! bigyan na lang kita ng pera tapos ballpen. haha! samahan ko na rin ng notebook" (its because, i love to write!) at that time, i was actually saving money for the cd... then when went to their house for Christmas. we exchanged gifts. you know what she got me? the soundtrack! i really didn't expect her to give something that expensive. because of the shock and too much happiness, i actually cried! and it is the first time i cried in front of all my relatives. they even recorded it. dang! i just wish they wont put the freaking vid in youtube. haha! ang babaw ko talagang tao! :]Melissa - I have LOTS so, just choosefrom them, hirap kasi pumili kasi 2008 was jampacked with loads of Twilight related activities.1. When I purchased my copy of New Moon in Fully Booked The Fort - I had no idea how to get there so I had to commute on a Sunday (which is my only rest day) and I had my period so I struggled to walk in DARK HIGH NOON (wink wink) despite my cramps - all for the love of Twilight.2. When I attended the book discussion in August at Makati because that was the 1st official TCP event I've been to where I met all the admins (nandun pa c Daene, buti nalang :) ) and Shane and Beth (both TCP members) and I had to render undertime (my boss had no idea that the reason I wrote in the leave form is false, hahaha).3. When I watched the movie premiere with no less than the TCP admins and members (thanks ulit to you guys for the free tickets) at Robinsons because I had just been from Laguna where we had our teambuilding seminar a few days ago. I even had my backpack with all my stuff in it! I didn't mind that Jam and her seatmate were likerecording a podcast because of all their talking, it was certainly a night to remember. Ang saya saya!4. Finally, the TCP Christmas Party because that was like the culmination of all the Twilight-related activities for the year, and because I've gained new friends (TCP members and admins narin, wink wink. sorry for the asskissing, hehehe), and even though I didn't win anything, it was a fun time for all. Oh, and I was able to claim my prize for the Postcard for Stephenie porject AND again, I had to render undertime again for work (bummer talaga when you have work on Saturdays :( )Kai - To steer away from the "fandom" my answer would probably be so random...First, Twilgiht and the rest of Meyer's books received so many recognition.Like she said, she never would have imagined that this would be SO BIG.For her to accomplish so much and letting us in on the "world" that she created. -- I guess we owe it to her or something.Second, of course everybody reads Twilgiht. But you would never expect Barack Obama "know about it".You know? For a Twilight fan (and a Obama supporter) it's exciting to hear those kinda things.I don't really know if he actually reads it to his daughters or whatnot but what I know is Malia, his oldest, read it.He said to Ryan Seacrest, "Apparently, it's big time". Liam - My most memorable Twilight-related moment in 2008 was, I think, when I bought several dozens of ChocoMucho to get a free Twilight movie premiere invite. My sibs and I literally ate all those ChocoMuchos just to get 1 ticket. I think it's one of the reasons why I gained so much weight harharhar.Elizabeth - The local release date of Breaking dawn would definitely top my list. Prior to the 4th i was convinced (I believe with all my heart and soul) that the local release is on the same day as the international release date (which is August 2) so I had my reservation in the nearest NBS branch from home (thinking that i cannot waste even an hour or so of waiting 'til i come home to start reading...) come, Saturday (August 2), before going to the bookstore I decided to check the internet (check on mails, blah blah) and was surprised to see that the local release date is on the 4th. August 4 is a monday, the most hectic time of the week at the office and it is my 23rd Birth Anniversary. I pretended to be sick, requested for a half day emergency leave...just to get my copy. all of my ka-opisina knew what i have been doing, except my boss. I spend half of my day at the office staring at my copy of Breaking Dawn, feeling guilty of tricking my boss, rushing all the things so i can get home early and start reading... almost forgetting that it is my day.Music Used This Week:Opening Credits - Immortalize Me by SalientSegment Transitions - Excerpt from Dinner With His Family by Carter Burwell from Twilight: The Score | Buy AlbumEnd Credits - Excerpt from Memory by Sugarcult | Buy AlbumEpisode Edited by: Clair de LuneDanag Logo Artwork: Paul MendozaThank You: Rome, Echo, and all the listeners who sent in their answers for this episode's questions.If you want to participate in our discussions or if you have topic suggestions, comments, and questions, please send them to:twilightcoven(at)gmail(dot)comFor the latest news in the Twilight Saga, visit our blog:twilightcovenph.blogspot.com
