Coffee Break

by Liz Fuller on April 20th, 2008

I’m afraid I only have time for a quick coffee break with you this week - the movers have come and gone, the car has been picked up to be shipped and Goodwill has carted away any remaining possessions that didn’t make the cut for this move. 

I am typing away in an empty apartment - sitting on the floor with nothing but my internet connection and my coffee pot. 

As soon as my husband pries my fingers away from the keyboard, we’ll be boarding a plane to our new home in New York City. 

Soon, I’ll be blogging from the Big Apple.

It will take a week or so for us to get internet access - but I am already searching out wi-fi spots.

So, enjoy the following thought-provoking articles, and be glad that you aren’t living out of a box!!

Lately, Laura has been writing about the potential of Twitter. Chris at The Transfer is taking an even longer view of the potential of Twitter as a customer feedback tool.  I think that blogging still has a lot of untapped potential as a customer feedback tool, and I enjoyed reading Chris’ vision of Twitter in the Marketer’s toolbox in his post Twitter: A Tool to Grasp that Elusive Customer Feedback?

This guest post by James Chartrand writing on Copyblogger encourages bloggers to enhance their relationships with their readers (customers) by creating an emotional connection in his post: Give More Than Words for Extreme Reader Response.

Anita Campbell at SmallBizTrends points out the advantage of using more than words to get your customers’ attention.  Google is now returning YouTube videos in its search engine requests, increasing the impact of having videos about your business on the web.  Read her article Videos Gone Wild in the Search Engines . 

Liz Strauss at Successful Blog has a reminder that there are only two weeks left before the Successful and Outstanding Blog Conference 2008 in Chicago. I won’t be able to go due to my moving schedule, but a lot of great bloggers will be there. Check out her post for the exciting details! The SOBCON08 Tour Leaves the Dock in 14 Days!

If you attend the conference, be sure to send me an email and let me know what the highlights were for you!!

Have a great week!
