- Making the world your market – why businesses need to focus on their international marketing strategies and things to prepare for to make it happen.
- International Affiliate Recruitment Strategies for Merchants.
- The trends, issues and challenges in the Asian market and how the social media space is shaping up in Andrew’s neck of the woods.
- The ubiquitous dilemma of merging or excluding one’s personal life when it comes to business, and how it all plays out on Twitter or Facebook.
- The fine line between authenticity and stupidity on Twitter
- Why women make better podcasters then men.
- FeedFront Magazine is now available for the Kindle.
- Lisa’s upcoming op-ed piece in the San Francisco Chronicle on California’s AB178.

hey that was a really cool discussion. and andrew you're right, women know how to talk. kinda felt like i was sitting in the living room with all of you
as for twitter and facebook, i use twitter as more of just broadcasting things i find interesting, not so much what i'm doing. and almost everyone i follow is in internet marketing somehow. for facebook i use it more as my personal networking place. i post dumb updates and photos (but i have also had to un-tag!!). it's a mix of friends, family, colleagues, and clients.
great discussion!
Hey Danielle,
Thanks for listening. Yep, there's definitely no all-encompassing strategy that's right for everyone when it comes to Twitter and Facebook. It just has to feel right to the user.
I'd also love to have you on the show one day. Let me know if it's something you're open to.
Best line (from Missy) on authenticity on Twitter: "There is a fine line between being authentic and being stupid."
I've teetered on that fine line many a time
