Show notes by Trisha Lyn Fawver

This week we’re less all over the map, more focused on affiliate conferences, social media and communities, and once again our cherished shout outs.  Of course our favorite topic of all time, Twitter, makes an appearance as they were in the news this week.  The show comes in and just under 40 minutes for your listening pleasure.

  1. Social Media: Facebook caves into community pressure again, YouTube adds a Twitter Button
  2. Jermey Palmer uses surveys to make his affiliate marketing education products better.
  3. Twitter: Salesforce.com creates Twitter brand management service for companies and sells it for 1K/month, Twitter will have paid pro accounts
  4. Conferences: Jim Kukral organizing the monetization track for Blog World Expo Oct. 15-17, CJU dates announced Sept. 15-17, Big Omaha tech conference for midwesterners announced.  Trisha will be attending Web 2.0 Expo and ad:tech SF next month.

Mike and Trish great show!

I am not a huge FaceBook fan because I feel their interface is to cumbersome, especially for new users. But I am glad to see they are listening to there users (sometimes). There new UI is a blatant attempt to copy Twitter, and it does not work well. If only they can just find the right UI blend.

I have known Jeremy Palmer for about ten years and have watched him go from working a day job to becoming a very successful affiliate marketer. I participated in Black Ink 1 and 2 and they have been a huge asset to my affiliate success. Can't wait for Black Ink 3.

Looking forward to Affiliate Marketing Fanatics Episode 5.

Trisha – speaking of Clerks, what do you say about 1 vs. 2? I'm typically not big on sequels, but thought Clerks 2 monumentally owned Clerks 1.

I have to agree. While I have a love for the rawness of Clerks, Clerks 2 is one of my favorite movies over all. I was lucky enough to be one of the first people to see that at a small screening in LA that was invite only before the final cut was done. Very cool.

Thanks Daniel. I met Jeremy a few times at conferences and he is tremendous in person. Always puts out a quality product.
