I thought I’d put my two or three cents into a blog, related to dating in the new milllenium. It sure seems like it is the same as it was in the old millenium. Same people, same games, same end result.

Hopefully by putting what I think will be pertinent information on my blog and in to my dating and friends online network, I can help some of you out there. To find, and keep, someone who will make you happy for the long run. Or at least make some new friends along the way.

None of us are alone in this challenge. I truly think it was easier in the old days. You met someone, fell in love, and you lived happily ever after. Not anymore. You have stalkers, ex spouse baggage, kids, attorneys, STD’s, and financial woes all around you. So how do you find the power to pull it all together and actually make a relationship work? The answer to that and a few more questions are being addressed daily by me, and I believe between us all, we can make some sense of it.

Good Luck,

So many podcasters. And more popping up each day. How can I be heard?

It’s so easy to podcast nowadays that many of the podcasts are just plain junk. But if you want to stand out from the crowd, you must plan your podcast so that you will generate a crowd of rabid subscribers.

How can you start?

First – BRAINSTORM!

Make a list of all your favorite hobbies or interests. What do you do during your free time? What catches your fancy all season? List down the things you spend most of your money on. It may be on electronic gadgets, beer, cloths… If you like it, then chances are, someone else does too and will listen to you if your show is about it.

Here are more possibilities. Write down your favorite TV shows, movies, music, games, sports, religions, political parties, philosophies, and books. As you are writing them down, sort them into categories like ‘very interesting’ to ’slightly interesting’ to ‘may be interesting’. Don’t be restricted. Anything goes.

If you are in need of inspiration, you can always visit various podcast directories. Just google ‘podcast directories’ and and you’ll find lots to get your brain juices going.

This may help you to determine if there is an interest in your potential podcast. If there’s absolutely no competition, you may be alone in your interest. BUT it’s difficult to say until you actually upload a show and start promoting it.

Don’t worry if there’s lots of competition. What this means is that there are probably lots of potential listeners out there. Go ahead.

Download a few shows of each podcast that looks interesting, and give them a listen. Pick up their good points and bad points. Consider…

“How could I have done a better job?” “What are the things I thought should have been mentioned but was not?” “Do I agree with them or is there an Alternative view I can present?”

Some are great shows already with loyal followers so you may not want to compete with them directly. Instead, develop a complementary show to theirs. Change the format around. Have an interview show and invite them as a guest. Chances are, they’ll plug you on their show and you’ll get some of their fans visiting you. If they like what they hear, they may stick around.

There are lots of other stuff one can do. But if you want your podcasts to be heard for a long time to come, you must put in the effort to develop a good podcast. Bottom Line is this: do your research and develop your unique proposition before you start. That way, you won’t the indistinguisable from the rest of the podcasters out them. Instead, you will stand out for being different.

After all, you podcast because you want to be heard. Let your listeners hear something fresh and alive – with your personal touch.

You Might Be A Snob-Blogger If…

According to Jupiter Research, about 2 percent of the online community has created a blog. That works out to millions and millions of blogs, and in turn, millions and millions of snobs who publish them. That’s an awful lot of Snob-Bloggers!

You see, in order to care enough to publish a blog, you really need to be somewhat of a snob. Before we get into the reasons why, let’s look at the definition of snob.

Snob – 1. One who tends to patronize, rebuff, or ignore people regarded as social inferiors and imitate, admire, or seek association with people regarded as social superiors. 2. One who affects an offensive air of self-satisfied superiority in matters of taste or intellect. (As defined on Dictionary.com)

Combine that definition with the definition of a blogger, and you get a Snob-Blogger, defined as ‘anyone who blogs, period’. Yes that’s right, bloggers by nature are snobs.

Not me you say! Yes, you too! ALL bloggers are Snob-Bloggers! Do you publish a blog? Don’t believe it? Take this handy dandy quiz to see if you fit the mold.

1. Have you ever commented about someone or something in a negative or superior manner on your blog? If so, you just might be a Snob-Blogger.

2. Do you and your blog readers commiserate about topics together on your blog comment system? If true, it’s possible you might be a Snob-Blogger.

3. Does your blog link to all of your other blog friends who link back to you? On that occasion, you are most likely a Snob-Blogger.

4. If you have ever ranted about something that is only interesting to you and your blogger friends, you, I’m afraid are a Snob-Blogger.

5. If you know what RSS means, I’m guessing you are a Snob-Blogger.

6. If you would stop publishing your blog because you knew nobody was reading it, you my friend are most likely a Snob-Blogger.

7. Do you recognize Wil Wheaton as someone other than the geeky kid from Star Trek: The Next Generation? If so, you are certainly a Snob-Blogger.

Other Snob-Blogger characteristics include:

When blogging hit the web, it did so with a bang. Blogging is now one of the most popular forms of communication via the web. Before, web surfers would simply browse through sites with preformatted text on them. There was very little chance for a surfer to comment on a site or to offer their opinion on anything. If a surfer wanted to voice their opinion via the web, they had to start their own webpage. Starting a webpage is perfect for some surfers, but it is way too complicated for most. In addition, starting a webpage usually takes a small investment, which is something not many surfers want to offer up just so they can post their views.

People today can find blog sites that offer blog space for much less than a typical webpage. Many sites will offer blog space for free. When you begin a blog, you will notice that they are all laid out basically the same way. Some experts will call their layout the last-in-first style. This is a very tricky name that simply notes that the last thing the person, or blogger, wrote will show up at the top of the blog. Most blogging software allows for this automatically. When you sign up at a blogging site and are given your own blog space, you will likely see that after you finish typing your post and submit it, the blogging software will automatically put your last entry at the top of your blog. This helps your readers stay current without having to scroll through many posts.

When you first get your own blog space, the blogging software will usually provide you with free templates to utilize. The templates will offer you different color and pattern styles for your blog. Some may look more feminine with flowers or pink stripes, while others will look more masculine in style. You simply choose one of the suggest templates and the software will set everything else up for you. If you have programming skills, you can typically alter this to make your own style as well.

After choosing your template, you will be ready to begin posting. The great thing about the blogging phenomenon is that you can post anything you like. If you are feeling a little upset about your significant other or if you want to share some political views, you can write about them and share them with anyone who reads your blog. A blog is typically a lot like a diary. It may not be quite as personal, or it may be even more personal. It all depends on how much you are willing to share. You can choose to make your blog anonymous by not including your name or any contact information. This will probably make you even more comfortable posting. If you wish however, you can make your information known so that anyone who reads the blog will know it is you who is posting.

Blogs are the perfect sounding board because they allow you to post and allows others to comment on your posts. By allowing others to comment, you can truly see how others feel about what you have to say. Sometimes they will offer applause and sometimes they will criticize. No matter what however, by blogging you have successfully used your freedom of speech. You should use this right whenever you can, as it is one that those before us fought strongly for and we still continue to fight for on occasion.

Many blogs today are becoming much more complex however. Some are offering graphic options. Web users are now using this space to display pictures they have. Some people with family far away will use the blog to share day to day things or special moments with their loved ones far away. By posting information and pictures, their family and friends can log in whenever they want to check in on the blogger. Blogs mean different things to different people. They are used as diaries, sounding boards, or family update pages. They are very simple to use and are being seen all over the web. Although there are few rules to blogging at this time, there is one thing that is certain. With its growing popularity, blogging is here to stay!

Finally! You Can Start Profiting From One Of The Hottest Types Of Products Available In All Of The Internet…And Have Your Business Up And Running In A Matter Of Hours! You may reproduce this article as long as an active hyperlink is accompanied.
