March 6, 2009 Richard Edelman - 6 A.M.: We're Entering a New Era of Mutual Social Responsibility Image representing Edelman as depicted in Crun... Image via CrunchBase I find Richard Edelman the best informed business executive on the Internet-his articles are not gotchas but based on the knowledge of an educated man-In this day and age when people think a dangling participle is an add on for an I Pod it is a pleasure reading article where lines are ragged the deck is perfect and a well executed headline-and he undestands semantic's general semantic's and mathematic's- n pedagogy, a sentence diagram is a pictorial representation of the grammatical structure of a natural-language sentence.

Welcoming Justin Levy to the Pirate Ship | chrisbrogan.com tabbloid_2008-12-20_0900-1 Yacht mainsail Image via Wikipedia Sail Free Lads they never will catch your Pirate Ship- Sailing is the art of controlling a sailing vessel. By changing the rigging, rudder and dagger or centre board, a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails in order to change the direction and speed of a boat. Mastery of the skill requires experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge concerning sailboats. The "rules of the road" for ships and boats declare that when the courses of two sailing vessels converge, the vessel on port tack must give way to a vessel on starboard tack . For this purpose, port and starboard tack include any position with the wind to that side, whether moving upwind or downwind. If a vessel is fore-and-aft-rigged, the actual wind position is overridden by the position of the boom (the mainsail boom in a vessel with multiple masts), which is assumed to be on the side opposite the wind, even if the vessel is running straight downwind or is in the act of tacking; that is, if the boom is to port the vessel is on starboard tack, and vice versa. There are exceptions to the requirement to give way: in particular, if the vessel on port tack does not have sea-room to tack or maneuver out of the way.

Social media marketing is a technique that involves engaging social networking sites to reach out to your niche customers and promoting your business. This form of marketing is so powerful that with just one buzz, your site could get the celebrity attention that it deserves. The methods involved in social media are: blogs, forums, online communities, photo and video sharing, which can all influence a customers' opinion about a brand or business.

Social media marketing refers to the process of fast website traffic or concentration through social media sites. Social media itself is a catch-all expression for sites.

We asked 20 social media experts to share how they're getting results with social media marketing today. Here's what they had to say.

Consumers are realizing that the influencers share more authentic content, giving honest reviews and application of the product/services in their daily life.

March 7, 2009 YouTube - Joe Pass - All the Things You Are - Likaholix Joe Pass Joe Pass (via last.fm) I have been also adding Music to my Likaholix page especially music by older Jazz Greats Likaholix Rocks and is so easy to use- Joe Pass recorded a series of albums during the 1960s for the Pacific Jazz label, including the early classics Catch Me, 12-String Guitar, For Django, and Simplicity. In 1963, Pass received Downbeat magazine's "New Star Award". Pass was also featured on Pacific Jazz recordings by Gerald Wilson, Bud Shank, and Les McCann. Pass toured with George Shearing in 1965. Mostly, however, during the 1960s he did TV and recording session work in Los Angeles. He was a sideman with Louis Bellson, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Joe Williams, Della Reese, Johnny Mathis, and worked on TV shows including the The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The Merv Griffin Show, The Steve Allen Show, and others. In the early 1970s, Pass and guitarist Herb Ellis were performing together regularly at Donte's jazz club in Los Angeles. This collaboration led to Pass and Ellis recording the very first album on the new Concord Jazz label, entitled simply Jazz/Concord (#CJS-1), along with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jake Hanna. In the early 1970s, Pass also collaborated on a series of music books, and his Joe Pass Guitar Style (written with Bill Thrasher) is considered a leading improvisation textbook for students of jazz. Norman Granz, the producer of Jazz at the Philharmonic and the founder of Verve Records signed Pass to Granz's new Pablo Records label in 1970. In 1974, Pass released his landmark solo album Virtuoso on Pablo Records. Also in 1974, Pablo Records released the album The Trio featuring Pass, Oscar Peterson, and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. At the Grammy Awards of 1975, The Trio won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Performance by a Group. As part of the Pablo Records "stable," Pass also recorded with Benny Carter, Milt Jackson, Herb Ellis, Zoot Sim
