I was shocked when I encountered the OLPC (one laptop per child) computer... My first question: if it has a swivel screen, camera, and wifi... why does mine cost so much more? Of course, they were not available to the public.

This year I discovered the Asus eee pc. I'm seriously considering one, as a browser companion to my blackberry when on the road.

I think if you use once, you will not want to leave this. It is very user friendly and the fun to show to others. Blackberry had the days. Steve also gives this now at a very reasonable price now at about usd250 instead of 700.
I thank you

That?s why the optimization of a website should not be a one-time job. It?s important to keep tracking results and change the strategy, when it?s necessary. But it?s also significant to keep updating and adding content when it?s possible.

Define your strategy. Before establishing your presence on the web you should define your strategy. Your site should clearly articulate your unique selling proposition to visitors. Your messaging should be targeted to your ideal customer. Who do you want to reach? Will you limit yourself to a specific geographical region?

Determine how customers find you. When you have a clearly defined strategy you will then need to find out how people search for your product or service. You can do this by researching keywords that are relevant to what you offer. There are many tools available to help you in your keyword research including keyword tools at Yahoo.com, WordTracker.com and GoodKeyWords.com.

Just the facts? Many publicity experts stick to ?just the facts? when writing press releases. Be creative when writing your press releases and you will stand out in the crowd. Use of an angle, such as the underdog approach or a twist on current news/events will heighten the interest of your press release and garner the reader?s attention.

Use keywords in your press release. The strategic use of your keywords throughout the press release will make it easier for search engines to find you. Search engines use crawlers to find keywords that match what internet users type in the search engine box. By using your strategic keywords you are making it easier for search and news search engines to find and pick up your release.You should also put your keyword in your headline as early as possible to give you an additional competitive advantage.

The press release dissected. The press release has four parts ? headline, summary, body and close. The headline should be captivating and generate curiosity. The summary is 2-3 sentences that summarize the message of the story. The body begins with an opening paragraph that expands on the summary and should include a quote. The quote can be your own or a third party. Quotes lend further credibility to your press release and set it apart from traditional promotional vehicles. The remainder of the body should have supporting points to your message. The close of your press release should have a strong ending with a call to action. Do not simply include the company?s contact information but ask them to do something.

Press releases are a persuasive and valuable tool for every type of business. All businesses need exposure and visibility and a press release can aid that goal. People react favorably to press releases because they do not view it as a blatant sales method. It is a savvy opportunity to present features and benefits and establish your credibility.

Hi Brandon,

Apologies for a touch of self promotion here, but I think this is relevant to your post and will be helpful to folks experiencing this problem. We have just launched a free fix for the pdf error in Quickbooks. billFLO is a custom built application that integrates with Quickbooks to generate pdf invoices. The user interface also allows users to customize the email message and send invoices individually or in batches. We'd love to get your feedback on it: www.getbillflo.com

Many thanks

Hi Peter,
I couldn't help but get excited when I read this blog post. You see, we recently launched a new individual pay-per-use fax to email service that addresses everything you blogged about above.

If you have 2 minutes, here's a flash demo on how it works.

Basically, MongoSCAN allows you to scan documents from your standard fax machine and the documents arrive to your recipients inbox appearing as an email from you with a PDF attachment of your documents. You (the sender) would receive a confirmation copy of the transaction, as well as the documents, in your email inbox. The best part is that neither the sender or the recipient needs an account or any special equipment in order to send or receive the documents, it is simply a Pay-Per-Use service and the cost is .25 cents per page.

It accomplishes the same thing that you were already doing (scanning, saving to PDF, then emailing) but this process eliminates the multiple steps you spoke of. All you would have to do is replace your standard fax cover sheet with our "Email Cover Page" that you create at www.MongoSCAN.com and then our automated systems do the rest.

We are based in San Francisco, are backed by the co-Founders of Adobe, and have been offering our patented enterprise solution, MongoFAX, for eight years. MongoSCAN was developed due to high demand from consumers who expressed many of the same frustrations you did above.

I really hope you have the chance to try MongoSCAN and I would certainly welcome any feedback you (or anyone else) may have!

Feel free to contact me with any questions or for more information. Thank you for letting me post my comments.

Respectfully,
