Will You Buzz?

It’s Here - Google’s version of Social Media, it’s called Buzz and if you use GMail it arrived in your inbox a few days ago. Buzz had many similarities to Twitter, but with that special Google Twist to things. Your profile comes from Google ( My Profile ) and isn’t as much fun as Facebook…  But it’s got some great points for those of use who are Social Media Experts .

After using it for several days I’m very impressed.  Unlike other social media it tells you how many updates you’ve got, similar to how you see how many email you’ve got in GMail.  This is a feature I like.

A MEGA benefit is that you’re NOT limited to 140 characters, so you can post more information - like articles.  I’m finding that those of us who are pioneers are much like those who were Twitter pioneers.  There are not a TON of people on Buzz yet, but there will be.  We are also learning the how to’s to this great new offering from Google.

One of the other neat features is what you can do with your Nexus One Google Phone (I don’t have one).  You can connect with your friends and find out their location with the phone (This could mean TMI - Too much information).

This new social network has not been without controversy.  Some have become upset that Google integrated your contacts with the social network so people like your doctor were automatically added to Buzz.  While I didn’t mind - some ( perhaps those with a secret lover ), were not as thrilled with what they decided was an attack on their privacy.

Will Google Buzz be a Facebook killer?  I don’t think so…  But it all depends on how they build it out.  I liked Google Wave, but didn’t have enough friends who were also allowed on it.  Perhaps Google will add some of the Really Cool features from Google Wave to Google Buzz.

Is Google Wave better than Twitter?  I think there’s HUGE potential here.  You can post pics and video right to your thread ( I’m not sure what the name is for this yet ) and it’s way more interactive than Twitter.  Much easier to follow a conversation.

The biggest request so far has been collapsible conversation.  I, as well as many others want the ability to collapse the conversation so we’re not scrolling for days to get to the next conversation.

Another opportunity I’d like to see is the ability to no get the updates on my phone.  80 comments on a Buzz going to my Blackberry can really interrupt my focus.

Give Google Buzz a try, share your comments and follow me, you’ll find my Google Buzz profile here.

I can see myself enjoying the internet in a brand new way with the iPad. Who needs a mouse & keyboard - Right??? Now, if you get it “Fully Equiped” you’re looking at about $900… Oops, you can get an ibook for that.

Let’s see how long it takes for the price to fall?

I’ve been outsourcing many of the tasks I either didn’t want to do or didn’t know how to do for a long time. oDesk makes it easy to find the right person for the job you’re looking for. You have security and They have security. The risk on both parties part is minimal and a great result can pay off big time.

This website was designed by me, but I didn’t do the work - I outsourced the work and got a $2500 website for about $100. I do recommend that you NOT do outsourcing alone. There are key areas that will require experience - If you need help, just ask!

See me LIVE on UStream

To have Big Business Success you must start with ACTION. Now, I know alot of people who Want to improve their situation, but they seem to have issue with things that get in the way (some call that Drama) or they have Time Management (TM) issues - Some might find TV show’s like Survivor more important than building their own lifestyle (Ever notice how some people are more into the fiction of TV than living their own lives)

Now A is for Action in this formula (Did you even notice the hint above). You’ve got to take ACTION to get results. You can’t just sit there and hope things happen or wait for things to happen. No, you’ve got to be PROACTIVE and learn the skills that will allow you to succeed in business. A great example would be the water pitcher I just bought for my Dad. I read the instructions (Amazing how few do that) to make sure we got the Quality Water we were expecting out of it. Had I not done that - we might have run it through the dish washer and broke the whole thing.

IF IT’S TO BE, IT’S UPTO ….. Yes, ME (Ok You, but you’re reading this.)

Now we all know that the M is for Marketing. Marketing in 2009 has developed into alot of things and you’ve got a TON of decisions on what direction you want to go with your marketing. Let me just keep it simple. Put YOUR Message in Front of Peoples Eyes. (Newspaper, Magazine, signs, etc…)

AOMA is All Out Massive Action. That’s what you should be doing instead of sitting in front of the Electronic Income Reducer. You can still watch the game, but watch it with a computer in your lap (Like I do) and be sure you don’t spill you beer on your keyboard. MASSIVE Action is where you get results. The more places you market and Advertise - The better.

I’m not going to tell you to treat your business like a business. Treat it like you’re SERIOUS about getting a result. Time Management is how you do that. You don’t have to be perfect, but if you’re mapping out your day, you should know when you’ll be working ON your business (Notice I didn’t say IN your business - that’s when your dry cleaner is cleaning clothes). Working ON your business is the process of getting the message out there. It’s the time you invest to make your that you increase the number of people who are buying from you. TIME MANAGEMENT will allow you to see how much time each day you’re putting into your business.

We all know that Social Media (SM) has become a HUGE topic (it was known as web 2.0). What are you doing to connect with your customers and potential clients? If you’ve got a GREAT tip - Share it. There’s alot that goes into why people BUY from YOU.. (Did you know there’s actually a psychology to why Walmart is set up the way it is?). I’m not going to make this into some Social Media workshop, but if you’re not doing Facebook & Twitter and you don’t have MEGA Goals for the number of people you want to connect with - you might as well call your insurance agent and see if you can get a Life Insurance Policy for your business.

After reading this simple equation, you have quickly realized that you’re missing the boat on some very important aspects of your business and NOW is a great time to expand your knowledge so you can be the one writing the article next time….
