Searching for world-changing technology
Hey, we’re in the top 10 of America’s most admired companies, named by Fortune Magazine. Here’s how they picked those.
Not the only honor we’ve picked up lately: Edelman says that Microsoft is the most trusted global company. Thank you very much, but as anyone who reads Mini-Microsoft knows, we have even more to do to make sure our customers and employees are the best treated in the world.
Why tag? That’s what Tara Hunt is asking about. I tag cause Steph Booth told me I’d be a loser if I didn’t tag. I don’t wanna be a loser! So I tag. Why do you? Why not?
OK, this is brave for someone to do: call me and beg for a link. Usually I don’t like that at all, but the other day Steven Hargrove called me to tell me the other day about an SEO contest, sponsored by V7n.com. They came up with a new term and are seeing who does the best Search Engine Optimization. Want to learn a bit about SEO? Visit the sites and see some of the techniques they use.
One technique? Get bloggers to link to that site with the term: v7ndotcom elursrebmem. That’s Steven’s site that he entered into the contest. When I linked to him he was #4 on the list. We’ll see if that moves him up.
Yes, this makes me an SEO shill. Oh well, he took the time to personally call me, built a relationship with me, and explain this contest to me. Sorry, no more calls on this topic will be listened to. 
Michael Gartenberg and other Jupiter Analysts get together to talk about what Web 2.0 means for business. Cool, I’ve had quite a few conversations with Michael and always enjoyed them. Now I can listen to Michael anytime I have some free moments in my car or while walking around.
By the way, I’ll try to get to the Podcast Hotel tonight or tomorrow. I’m hearing from Eric Rice that it’s a lot of fun.
Oh, and WAIT until you see what Eric is building for me in Second Life! I hear it’s evil! And big! Heheh.
The Code Room breaks into Vegas to talk about security. Lots of interesting security talk on this slickly-developed video show.
You know, we’ve gotten tons of reviews for our book. I don’t link to many of them cause, personally, it just gets a little boring after a while. But the Church of the Customer authors just recommended it and I gotta celebrate a bit cause Ben and Jackie are two people I look up to and I remember thinking how cool they were to write a great book and do a good job consulting (I saw them speak at Microsoft a few years back).
Sorry for the celebration. Oh, and nice Photoshop work on our cover, too! Heheh.
