More Blogging About Blogging

Now that Rouzell is completely immersed in Social Media services projects, we realize we have blogs in many places. For your inspection, we offer links to each of them here.

That last link has seniority. There you'll find the bulk of the work and the latest application of a theme update. That monstrous header at the top is an amalgamation of the four websites/domains that get most of my attention.

In order of appearance, they are in order of precedence. Rouzell was begun in 2006, VIBE Networking is almost two years old now, support to ACT I has been going on much longer, but officially just under two years, Mousehelp dot com is less than a year and half old at this writing.

Soon those images will be linked to their corresponding websites. They are listed here for your perusal.

Explaining Social Media

Today, for the second time, I've had the opportunity to explain the value of Facebook to a prospective client. It goes like this; Facebook is better than email and better than a website, because people can ignore your email and may not ever find your website. But if they are on Facebook (and that is the key ingredient), they can befriend you, or like your content, and that is where the value is.

Your website may never change, your emails may be never be opened, or they may be summarily dismissed. But, on Facebook, if someone is already your friend, or if somebody "Likes" something you've posted to your Facebook page, people will know about it. They will be notified by the system that you've added something new that may be of interest. After all, you are their friend, right?

As I said in a recent Facebook post, the value of being on Facebook and the value of the content you add to your pages there, comes from the other people on Facebook. There is no comparison I can make to the value of your email or your website. Nobody will know you've updated your website. There is no guarantee that anyone will open your email and take action. But, if you have friends on Facebook, or somebody likes your latest post to your Facebook page, you have instant notoriety.

This is the end. If you need further convincing of the value of being on Facebook, call me, email me, go to my website, find me on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter, and I will see you in person, to do a demonstration of how this stuff works.

This is yet another blog post. I'm still working on getting all of my blogs assembled in one place, so I'll know that the pearls of wisdom I provide here will be available everywhere you may find me.

Have a pleasant evening.
