So I figured this time around I will show you some of the links I really found valuable from various different companies and any web apps I waste my days on. And any funky news clips or crazy stats. Enjoy!
SlideShare.net Goes Business
SlideShare.net, everyone’s favourite slide sharing service (especially social media gurus) now offers you some nice data sorting and capturing functionality. Now you can track how many leads you get based on how many people checked out your preso. That is a pretty nifty feature, assigning a more accurate ROI on your hard presentations.
Tommy Lee Builds his Album Web 2.0 Style
This is a fantastic story mainly due to the fact that I respect Tommy Lee for going out and doing something crazy, let letting any Joe Blow contribute music to his new album. Tommy Lee puts up the stems, you can lay your licks over the top, he picks the best, and plans to give you a cut of the album. Too cool for school. Who said the music industry is out of ideas? Or maybe it was his social media consultant that helped him out. I’m wagering on the latter.
The Search Engines Want Real Time Data
What had started as talks about intergrating real time data into regular old fashioned search engines has now become a reality. Bing hit first saying its got Twitter updates built in. Google says ‘me too’. Bing goes well guess what we have Facebook status updates, so nerrr nerrr ne nerrr nerrr. Google fires back with, well we just made social search live, and you can mix into your SERPs your buddy’s SERPs and that we think is pretty cool.
And Yahoo? Oh yeah, they got some realtime search engine integration mixing everything all together into a big search mashup.
Phew, take a breath and go back to just clicking the first result of the SERP.

It’s an increasing problem that people are spamming, scamming and impersonating businesses and people on social networks. They give the same old tried and tested advice to make sure you go run and claim up as many of the usernames as you can to stop this kind of action. You have been warned.
Thats all folks!
PS. This should be a public service announcement: when to use an apostrophe
