After the lawyers for the plaintiffs had spoken, it was the turn of the prosecutors. It was most likely the prospect of their closing presentation that had attracted most of the observers to the court that day.

I’m going to keep this post short and simple, here are 3 Twitter tips to help you get the most out of Twitter : 1. Keep your tweets less than 120 characters so they can be easily re-tweeted.

I did some reading this weekend. Read something interesting in The Economist about the U.S. economy: Consumption accounts for over 70% of American spending. Thus even if households do not go back to 1950s saving rates, their balance-sheet repairs will still weigh heavily on demand in the economy as a whole.

I’ve just watched the brand new ad system from “Blogging to the Bank” millionaire Rob Benwell and his partner Steven Tenpenny. The system is Slide In Ad , and in a way, it’s similar to pop over ads and slide up ads. I’m asking myself the following question; is this system better, converts more sales and is less intrusive, than pop over ads and slide up ads? According to the sales page “you can increase your opt-ins and revenue over 274% within 6 minutes.” That’s probably true, but on the other hand, will people enjoy this new “in your face” advertisement? To be honest with you, obviously I’ve just been watching the ads for a short while, since it was launched earlier today.
