Today’s Topic for “I Don’t Have Time for BS” Wednesdays: What Makes a Search Expert? What Makes ANYONE an Expert?
You may remember a few weeks ago when I said I was planning on writing a guide to how to spot a phony expert. I intended to do it right when I thought of it, but the whole issue struck a nerve with me.
I mean, here it is, the dawn of an age where communication is the most open, immediate and interactive as it has ever been in the world. Despite economic barriers that still exist for some, in relation to even having access to the web, via cell phone or not, this is still an age of unprecedented free flow of information.

By the time this is published, it will indeed be my birthday on the East coast, where I’m currently located.
And I definitely wanted to take some time out to celebrate that, so I’m planning on not working at all tomorrow. Yay me!
What does that have to do with you? At some point in one of these videos I tell you exactly what you can do on my birthday to make me smile. 
Okay, seriously though, what this has to do with you is that every year, on my birthday, I’ve sent out a special newsletter, blog post, birthday gift to all my pals, something.
This year I’ve decided to be naked.

I think I have The Plague. Or something that feels like it.
But I can’t sleep. And I had to tell you about the latest craziness.
Twice today, I’ve gotten the Social Threat.
Oh, this hasn’t happened to you yet?
It’s been happening to me a lot since I somehow made it on the top 50 of the Facebook Elite User list.
(My thoughts about all these lists? Story for another day.)
Here’s how this scam works. (more…)

As always, please be aware that the free audios will NOT be studio quality. We’ve been told there’s an echo at about 15 minutes in, for 2 minutes, but that you can still hear me okay. Unfortunately I can’t correct this on the fly, still not well enough to do all the manuvering involved.
MP3 File
So here we are, we somehow made it to 2009. I checked and all my limbs are intact and in working order.
Pretty much, anyway.

If you haven’t read the first part, you may view this post in a different tone than it is intended. Please read Part 1 of the Marketing Tweetroveries first.
While we’re on the topic of social media, no, I’m not part of the team upset at Guy’s Twitter Twool post or the one on How to Pick Up Followers on Twitter. I’ve been asked about this several times, and not answered. Well, here’s my answer:
Guy and I have had a few conversations and I believe he’s a good guy who was just answering questions people asked him, honestly. Not that he needs me to defend him. He’s probably too busy to even realize there was a controversy over it. Again, people are asking my opinion, and I’m tired of answering the same question individually.

… or he’s a genius.

I tried to stop myself from writing this because I want this whole week to be about me, my retirement, and of course me. But I can’t help it. So let me tell you what happened.
Recently, I had the pleasure of talking to Mark on the phone – and since he is my marketing idol, I spent the whole call hoping I didn’t sound like a complete nut job…

Dear Safari Three,
I Detest You.
You and I had such a good thing going. It’s true, I didn’t ever like your illogical bookmarking arrangement, or the fact that you would suddenly crash for no reason, when nothing else was open.
But your interface was cleaner, and we could maintain a separate relationship on the side when I didn’t feel like opening up Firefox. I’m sure you know you would never take his place. You seemed… happy… during our torrid affair.
I don’t know if it’s a mid-life crisis or what. But I’m not liking your little Safari 3.0 beta party clothes at all.
I used to be able to use you to make blog posts that I couldn’t in Firefox, like videos, and manual aligning of pictures, because you shunned the Visual Editor. That was one of the things I liked about you. But when you changed, I accepted it.
