Simply put, a Tweet is a message sent on Twitter. To send or receive a Tweet, you have to create a free account with Twitter. You also need to have friends and contacts with Twitter accounts — otherwise you’re typing to the void. Of course, you could use Twitter as a blog and keep all of your Tweets public, meaning anyone could read them on your personal Twitter profile page. But if you want to use Twitter as a way to keep in touch with friends, you’ll need to convince them to sign up, too.

Once you have an account, you can begin building your network of contacts. You can invite other users to receive your Tweets, and you can follow other members’ posts. As you receive Tweets, you may discover you’re looking into only part of a conversation. You’ll see your contact’s posts, but if he or she is sending messages in response to someone who isn’t in your network, you won’t see the other person’s messages.

Tweets have a few limitations, mostly due to the fact that Twitter’s design relies heavily on cell phone text messages. Tweets can only have up to 140 characters before the system cuts off the rest of the message for cell phone users. Members can read full Tweets on their Twitter Web pages or by using a third-party developer’s desktop or Web-based application.

Tweets can only contain text — members can’t include pictures, video or other computer files with Tweet messages. Members who want people in their network to look at multimedia content must find a Web page to host the files, then send a message containing the page’s address to their networks. Twitter converts all addresses more than 30 characters in length into tiny URLs — links that compress the full Web site address to conserve space.

Twitter makes it easy to opt into or out of networks. If you join Twitter and find that you’re being bombarded by Tweets from a particular member, you can choose to stop following his or her feed. All you have to do is send a message to Twitter that says “off,” plus the chatty member’s user name. Later, if you find that you miss the sender’s updates, you can type “follow,” plus the user’s name. As long as the sender has kept you in his or her network, you’ll start receiving those messages again.

TweetiquetteOn the Twitter fan wiki, you can find a few guidelines for proper Tweets:

Use discretion — if the subject matter is sensitive, take it off Twitter.

Don’t impersonate other users.

Avoid using profanity excessively.

Try to use restraint — don’t bury your network under an avalanche of Tweets.

Many social networking Web sites have lots of bells and whistles. Sites like MySpace and Facebook let users build profiles, upload pictures, incorporate multimedia, keep a blog and integrate useful or bizarre programs into homepages. But one Web company with a very simple service is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about social networking service providers: Twitter.

So what does Twitter do? When you sign up with Twitter, you can use the service to post and receive messages to a network of contacts. Instead of sending a dozen e-mails or text messages, you send one message to your Twitter account, and the service distributes it to all your friends. Members use Twitter to organize impromptu gatherings, carry on a group conversation or just send a quick update to let people know what’s going on.

Twitter’s history is entwined with a few other Internet companies. Twitter’s founders are Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey. A few years before Twitter was born, Williams created Blogger, a popular Web journal service. Internet giant Google purchased Blogger, and Williams began to work directly for Google. Before long, he and Google employee Stone left the Internet giant to form a new company called Odeo.

Odeo is a podcasting service company. According to Williams, he didn’t have a personal interest in podcasting, and under his guidance, the company temporarily lost focus. However, one of Odeo’s products was just beginning to gather steam: Twitter, a new messaging service. Stone gave Twitter its name, comparing the short spurts of information exchange to the chirping of birds and pointing out that many ring tones sound like bird calls .

As the service became a more important part of Odeo, Stone and Williams decided to form a new company with Twitter as the flagship product. Williams bought out Odeo and Twitter from investors, then combined the existing company and service into a new venture called Obvious Corporation. Jack Dorsey joined the team and began to develop new ways for users to interface with Twitter, including through computer applications like instant messaging and e-mail. In March 2006, Twitter split off from Obvious to become its own company, Twitter Incorporated.

Susan Boyle - the contestant on Britain has Talent – sings a song and within three days her video is everywhere – and her performance is on every newscast in every paper and on every blog – within three days – why?

Who knows?

But its has something to do with the fact that we believe that somewhere, even in a calculated and  carefully edited program of sneers and snide looks  that we will all leap to our feet and cheer – what?

Well.

Someone who allows to connect, to believe, to shout with joy – at…

Achievement, at connection. And the fact that a human being with perhaps a great voice (who knows we are so manipulated by the edits) – but with some wonderful moment that allows us to connect, with each other, in some mysterious fashion, that we only have so far dreamed about.

The human spirit is somehow touched, yes perhaps manipulated , perhaps its a fake – (not her- but the way she is presented) but nevertheless what shines through?

Well we do.

We do- at our best – our desire for achievement and glory and respect and and belief that truly somewhere we are wonderful.

Somewhere we are wonderful.

So for whatever reason

Thank you Susan Boyle

Sometimes the biggest mistake we make is in thinking that we should have no problems.

We think problems are a curse, instead of knowing that our problems are a gift.

The only way we usually grow is if we get a good enough problem to stimulate us to use our resourcefulness to find a part of our

self that is not being used.

I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness.  It is the practice of compassion.

Quoted – Dalai Lama

• True Affiliate Marketing, is a business that provides real products and services to real customers, and generates – RESIDUAL INCOME.
• That is -
• A Franchise/Affiliate business allows you to create income with , eventually, less and less time required to generate an ongoing income.
• A Private Franchise, requires little or no start up cost, a template to create and run the business, and no ceiling, no territorial boundaries, and no income restrictions.
• The only restriction on growth and profit – is You.
• A private Franchise is Your Own Business, though you are part of a Group for buying and penetration power. Though you have a servicing agent and training company. Its your business. In your name. And never never reverts back to someone or can be bought out by someone or something. And if built correctly will run after your lifetime.
• Let me repeat that -
• If you choose to design it , a Private Franchise allows you create Residuals to such an extent they outlive you and are willable income (if you so desire) to your family or your favourite pet, charity or whatever.

As in a true Public Franchise, you as the Franchisor retain a  percentage of your affiliates sales.

A residual income.

HOW MUCH?

Up to you -

a large business is $8,000, to $25,000 a month – every month, every year (many earn more, many earn less)

A moderate business $3,000 to $6,000 a month, every month, every year (average estimates)

If you have a lot of profitable affiliates – you will benefit from a large residual income.

As in a Public Franchise, you the Franchisor have a responsibility to your affiliates to train and serve them so that they can become profitable.

If you do not provide a true service to your customers. You will have no customers

If you do not provider a true service to your affiliates. You will have no affiliates.

They say that there is a new wave coming. They say that greed and corporate corruption is out. They say the public is sick of it.

Well if we don’t have greed and corporate corruption driving capitalism – what is there?

In the land of the free , home of the brave – that’s The United States for those who wonder (and we all wonder don’t we?) -the rumour has it that the underlying economy is capitalism. But of course we know that is not true – hasn’t been true since the Robber Barons of yore. What they have is corporate socialism.

The companies that make it big get to be protected – by law, by government by bribes by corruption. Small business in the free world imagine a big business , a multi-national is like them only way bigger. But its not. Small business has taxes and debts they actually have to pay back (by law) and competition and customer service etc. Multinationals dont a have that. They have a free ride.Because they have different laws – written especially for them.By them.

Even now – the bailout money is because “they are too big too fail”. That means they have no competition.

Even now the bailout is there because they are inefficient and have no market. So we the small business, the employees get to bail them out.And And – we get to give them bonuses for being incompetent

Bankruptcy is for losers like small business . Bailoutsd are for the clever people who can bribe their way to the top.
