SEO/SEM Web Marketing

I saw a call on TechDirt that was an invite to join their group. Obviously, TechDirt is growing in leaps and bounds and they need more folks out here in the ether to give the unvarnished truth to their client base.

So I got an invite from Mike himself, the guy that founded TechDirt, with I though was very positive. To Wit:

Hi Kit,

Recently, you pre-registered to join the Techdirt Insight Community. Congratulations. The team here at Techdirt have reviewed your blog, believe you have insight that is valuable to the community and would like to cordially invite you to the the Techdirt Insight Community.

Simply put, the Techdirt Insight Community is a resource to connect enterprises with insightful people (such as yourself) to create ad-hoc think tanks to help resolve a variety of business issues.

There are already numerous open issues in the community, covering various industries, that we believe you can provide insight on immediately.

My response:

Hey Thanks for the invite Mike, I have been reading and influenced by your blog for a while now. Funny, I just fired off an email with a couple of links to your site from a friend on mine (ex boss, TMP Worldwide aka Monster) who is now a bigwig at http://www.sapient.com/ . The buzz is of course Web 2.0 and how to monetize it…Yikes !

Of course, the problem is not with the Ad Agencies per se, but more with their inability to pitch the real solutions (Dell’s new Blog) The traditional industry model has a hard time with the notion of actually ‘listening’ to the needs and desires of the customer (can you say Yellow pages)

Thanks, I appreciate, will register as soon as I get this ridiculous WiFi card to work with Ubuntu Linux.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for inviting me to your new ‘virtual’ team.

Kit,

Thanks. Glad you enjoy Techdirt (and that you tell others to read
it!). Please let me know if you have any feedback on the Techdirt Insight
Community…

Mike

So there you have it, more notes from the bleeding edge of the ether !
