Congoo News Services

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Congoo News services beta version is out and it is definitely worth trying. This service is the latest news portal, that allows you to customize news from various news providers.

An exciting feature of Congoo is Netpass which gives you limited access to top media houses such as Time, BBC, Britannica, AP, Reuters just to name a few.

Plus, it seamlessly fits into your blog or website. You can see it installed in my right side-bar. Of course anyone with a drop more creativity in their bones than I have will no doubt find some interesting places to put their little news box.

I like it because it is also a social bookmarking news service, that allows you to develop a circle of friends. You and your friends can make comments on a personally configrued news page. You also have the option of installing a Congoo toolbar (compatible with Firefox) which also provides search results, interestingly from Yahoo alone. Well that aside, it is still worth trying.

Check out Congoo here.

** September Update – Now Congoo offers FREE Professional Business Profiles that allows you to connect with professionals in various fields. A most useful way to spread the word about your services and also to find new resources and contacts  for your business.

Blackbook For Serious Bloggers

Friday, August 24th, 2007

The 2007 Authority Black Book, a must have Bloggers’ resource is the kind of thing that comes along every once in a Blue Moon that delivers such a blow, people are afraid to talk about it.

I have been truly surprised that some of the persons who usually send me information have not sent me a single note telling me about this amazing Blog marketing resource book. Thanks Jack for remembering me.

Silence in the Internet Marketing Industry
The book – more like a manual really, has raised the bar for FREE information providers and so-called Gurus. Its been a long time since I downloaded a Free PDFs online and opened it more than once.

First time I scanned the entire book, I got a headache..ouch! I’m not kidding you. When I saw the amount, and kind, of REAL – just plain real, factual information and the actual step by step – where to go, what to do I simply could not believe that anyone could take the time to provide this for FREE. *Yes, I know. I heard that line before too. I just don’t sell it – I can only do this for the real deal.

So I repeat myself…sorry, can’t help it. The bar has been raised. Anyone else with any credibility will have to come better. People are truly tired of being fed a lot of useless junk – just because it’s free. Although, in a way this authority resource also tells us again of the value of research – do your homework. Thus you will be able to recognize quality when it comes.

It is therefore a genuine pleasure to pass this book on to you FREE of cost as well. This is the best complete resource on Blogging you will ever need. It is an extensive manual for beginners and pro Bloggers. Trust me, it makes even a Pro feel like she never really started. So put aside the pride – get your copy. I won’t tell but I know you will :-) See there is no way you can get this and keep it to yourself unless you are absolutely mean!

Now after you have read it twice with your mouth open, you are allowed that many gawks. Quit gawking, roll up your sleeve and get to work.

Reconstructing Marlamar
This has taken much longer than previously planned. I really thought it would have been easier the second time around :-) Buttt no. Suddenly, Marlamar has grown more demanding and picky. Eventually, she gave up and said just get the site UP!

So now work is in progress again and Marlamar is getting the attention required.

And we are still plodding away…

Pages are being added. Check them out from the link – ‘Internet Marketing Guide’
