Facebook Trounces MySpace for Networking
I try to be on top of online trends and new technology. So I’m a little ashamed to say that I just registered with facebook yesterday. Even worse, I only signed up for MySpace a few weeks ago. In my opinion, both these sites aim to accomplish the same task, but facebook does it much better.
Instant friends
Facebook imported my contacts from Gmail and figured out that some of them were already facebook’ers. With my permission, it send friend requests to a couple dozen people. Within minutes, I had friends!

New Social Networking Site for Professionals
Professionals surely know about LinkedIn. Perhaps you’re really hip and even understand MySpace. Now there’s a new player on the block: Meet Job Pros.
The interesting thing about Meet Job Pros (MJP) is that it seems to merge some of the key features of MySpace and LinkedIn. It’s kind of “MySpace with a professional twist.” But understand that not many people have registered yet, so some screens are a little blank.

How to Achieve Goals Faster – Identify With Them
I recently got really behind on my podcast listening. I just caught up, and in the process, I listened to a great podcast by Steve Pavlina.
In this podcast, Steve talks about a method of achieving goals faster. Instead of taking the typical approach of identifying the steps to a goal, Steve urges that we think about the symptoms of actually reaching the goal.

PayPerPost Uses Market Segmentation to Increase Payouts
Sponsored Post
A while ago I wrote about some changes PayPerPost implemented in their blogger system. Now it’s time to highlight another interesting one: market segmentation.
PayPerPost now tracks the Google PageRank and Alexa stats for all of its registered blogs. Also, every blog must be filed into discrete categories related to the blog’s topics. This allows advertisers to target different aspects of the internet market. There were a few bugs in the system to begin with, but I think things are working well now.
What this means for advertisers is …
