Social SPAM ME! twitter Social Spam Marketing!
by Ron Hickey on Nov.29, 2009, under Internet Social
How do you build a trusting relationship with potential clients by using software to auto follow and spam messaging?…..
Sure you might build a big FALSE following….but who and or how many are truly following and listening?
If your a grab and run marketer then yea auto follow is the way to go.
If your seeking new clients and build a long lasting relationship…yes maybe
you can use software….Well your the marketing experts you figure it out.
Little Hint…
I would be professionally personable and NOT send hack job auto messages….that would be a good start.
Speed of Click,

Games, over 100 million unique players for 1 app maker.
by Ron Hickey on Nov.25, 2009, under Games
Playing games online is very addictive. I started playing mafia wars at facebook back in the spring of this year. Mafia wars is one of the more popular games at facebook. I got so involved with playing and recruiting people to join. I lost all track of every thing else. I did finally come to my senses and eased off playing. I still play maybe once a week and not 2 to 3 hours a day when I started. Mafia wars is built and maintained by Zynga.
Recent news from Zynga 11/23/09.
Zynga announced that more than 100 million unique users play its games every month, making it the largest online game destination. The company has 200 million monthly active users across all games, with one million users purchasing virtual goods per month. http://zblog.zynga.com/?p=1198
Facebook, Myspace and other social sites make it possible for Zynga and other well known app makers hit the internet jackpot.
Other games by Zynga.
Black Jack, Path words, Scramble, Special forces, Street racing, Vampirewars, Poker, Yoville, Cafe World, Dragonwars, Farmville, Fasion wars and Fishville.
Some games you can only play at certain social sites. You can find Zynga games at Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, Friendster, MyYahoo and you can download to Iphone.
Thank you for reading,
