Tech It Like A Man!

Recently I joined up to be part of the V7n Search Marketing Forum. As a Webmaster, you are always looking for ways to get better. The more information and feedback you have, the better your sites do on the Internet and their niche market. I have found a plethora of information and help on the forums there. A lot of times I don’t even have to ask a question, as someone has already answered it in detail.

Added into the network is John Scott’s directory. You have to pay become part of it, but that’s because it’s such a big success. Many people get tons of traffic from having their links in this particular directory. As a website owner, you will want to consider making the leap into paid directory placements. It could make or break your business.

Nuggets of wisdom can be found all over the site, including the SEO blog. Most of the articles are short, sweet, and to the point. That is the kind of blog posting I love. Just yesterday there was an article about what ranking is more important between page rank and search rank. It’s a must read to add to your daily list of sites. Come on, do it. I know you have one!

I was asked to review this site by someone very interested in seeing what I thought. I am all too happy to oblige :D.

FixYa.com is engineered to help consumers with technical problems they are having with their devices. There is live free tech help, a search for repair facilities in your area, and a user elected answer database. The interface is easy to understand and navigate. I adore the sticky pad rating that users can give to answers they find on the site.

One of my favorite features: You don’t have to sign up or sign in to find solutions. I hate having to sign up for a site or pay for their service just to see a simple solution to a problem. Many sites have that problem, thankfully this is not one of them.

Even though the site is still in beta, there is plenty of action. If you are an expert who wants to help out, you can register as such and choose your area of expertise. If not, you can register as a regular user and be privy to using the rating system, commenting, and such. You don’t have to be an expert to help others with their problems.

If you are a repair person, you can advertise on the site. I have done a search for repair people in my area. I am hoping that they are able to add more facilities to their database. My area didn’t have that many entries, but I hope that they can remedy this soon. I would love for someone who lives in a more diverse area to do a search with their zip code and tell me what they come up with in relation to where their home is located. Let me know!

You can also give the FixYa people your feedback. They are located on Spicypage, just like me.

I am growing businesses that are actually spread across the whole of the United States. Conferencing is the best way to keep all your team members focused and up to date. One great way to do this is through video conferencing.

Recently we purchased a video camera that allows me to use it as a webcam for this very purpose. I have spoken about video conferencing before, but it’s worth mentioning again. Many people don’t think that this type of communication is necessary for small or home based business, but it makes a huge difference in the impact your team has overall.

Seeing the faces of your coworkers makes for a friendly, more intimate work place. It’s much better to work with people that you can interact with on a more personal level. In our lines of business, it’s essential to keeping the teams going. Being the owner of the business and taking the time to get on a conference call with your group makes a huge difference in productivity as they feel they are not just a number working for a faceless taskmaster. You become more approachable and easier for others to understand thereby cutting down on workplace unrest.

Even if you don’t do a video conference with your team, a team call or even a chat room specifically made for this type of interaction will do wonders for your business.

Looks like someone finally had to bit the bullet over the poor sales that the Playstation 3 has had.

Sony and PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi made a joint statement Thursday saying Kutaragi would retire from his position as chairman and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment as of the company’s next shareholders meeting on June 19, and that he has “been considering this decision for some time.”

Yeah, some time since the sales were nowhere near what they expected. Out of three major game consoles, PS3 is dead last and not gaining. It’s a shame, but everyone can’t be a winner. Someone would have had to take the blame first. No wonder it was the creator of the original Playstation that ended up leaving. Him not being there won’t make the console gain any ground. The damage has already been done.

I wonder who will be next?

The famous $100 laptop has just been jacked up $75 more dollars. The fear is that the project will not get the funding it needs in order to get off the ground.

The project needs orders for 3 million machines so its manufacturing and distribution effort can get rolling.

Even at the new price, the computers are a steal. They still come with Windows operating system. I hope that they are able to get the initiative rolling. Hopefully through this project, someone will be able to make a name for themselves and help their country in the process.
