Although I had dropped off the "7 pack" for "massage lexington ky" about 8 weeks ago, but had #5 in the organics. I did some SEO over the last month, and then this change happened from Google a couple of days ago. Long story short, I'm #2 now in the new mixed results. I'm very interested to see if Google leaves the results like this, or if they will change it back. Is this a part of Caffeine? Has anyone heard if this is "permanent"? (or as permanent as anything can be with Google).... <br /><br />So even if a local business was not in the 7 pack before, but ranked well organically, they may find themselves much better off than a week ago. Thanks for the great post!<br /><br />-Corey<br /><a href="http://www.relaxyoudeserveit.com" rel="nofollow">Corey Proffitt Studios Massage - Lexington, KY</a> I love this change from Google.

How many companies or products can you recall from your drive to work today? 0? That's what I thought. Billboards are nearly useless.

I get your point that people who opt-in to an email probably care more about your communications, but having the Twitter followers ensures a more continued dialog. You can't email your email subscribers every day and expect them to remain on your list, but Twitter followers expect to hear from you several times a day. It does increase the chance of getting your business engrained in their memory. It's a tough call.

]]> Comment on How a business can create a flash community using Twitter by jt http://www.lightbulbinteractive.com/blog/how-a-business-can-create-a-flash-community-using-twitter/#comment-81 jt Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:25:52 +0000 http://www.lightbulbinteractive.com/how-a-business-can-create-a-flash-community-using-twitter#comment-81 This is an interesting take on twitter. I am curious to know the future of location-based social networking, particularly among Central Ohioans.<br /><br />Columbus seems like an easy place to do location-based networking because of our size. If someone is at Polaris and catches a tweet from someone at Stauf's Grandview, then they could be there in 15 minutes. This is an interesting take on twitter.
