I always try to keep up with the latest in technology. It is a huge part in how I am able to stay ahead or at least on top of the game in the Online Business World. It was recently announced that Skype has just released the all new Mac Beta Skype 2.7 Download. Such a great tool to use, especially in my case, for keeping up with JV’s and Consultations or just to get in touch on a one on one basis with other Business oriented people. Here are some of the key features that it presents:

• Group contacts – organize your contacts into as many groups as you need. While there are some pre-defined groups (like Online, Waiting Authorization, Recently Contacted), you’re free to add new ones that suit your life. This should be a godsend to those whose contact list has ballooned to hundreds of Skype users. Explore this nifty feature under the cogwheel icon on the main screen.
• See your Apple Address Book contacts in Skype – easily call or SMS anyone who has a phone number in their address-book profile. When texting, just make sure the number is one that belongs to a mobile phone.
• Create and manage public chats by clicking on Chats in the menu bar and choosing Start Public Chat. A public-chat assistant will walk you through the necessary steps.
• Auto Redial for busy or unconnected calls. When your call hits the busy signal, Skype will give you the option of automatic redial every two minutes until the call goes through. This setting can also be adjusted in Skype > Preferences > Calls.
• Easy sound-level controls – when you need to tweak the sound level during a call, use a simple slider in the call window

It has been confirmed that Pligg is up for sale. I am generally kept up to date on this site as I have seen bunches of this open source content management system passed about all over the net. I actually had not even heard about TechCrunch and Mashable reporting the sale until I visited the Digital Point Thread this morning. I was a little shocked actually by the announcement.

Here are a little domain and page statistics I found on Sedo.com. This is where all actual bids are supposed to go.

Pligg is known to be a popular but very disputed content management system. It can spit out Digg site clones like it was nobodies business. I have seen tons of these myself. In a post at DP a person who seems to be in close contact if not employed by Pligg has reported this from an email.

The Pliggcommunity has grown larger than ever expected, with over 10,000 registered users sharing and trading tips, more than 60,000 Sourceforge downloads and 2 IRC rooms that are active 24/7. It’s become an extremely large project and community to manage. We all have day jobs and struggle to find enough time to keep up the pace. We’ve seen many online businesses develop products to support Pligg recently. Selling everything from custom templates and modules, to support and installation. This is a clear example that with the proper team in place, Pligg.com could easily dominate the other markets in this area. Pligg has even created a shop where users could purchase modules, templates and services, but this feature has yet to be launched.

All serious bids should be made through the Sedo.com listing or by contacting me through the forum.

In my post the other day Make Money With Yahoo Answers, I had stated that I would be open for a Q & A session. I have received all the questions and will answer them now based on my experiences and speculations I have.

Question 1. When answering your questions do you send them to the
CPAs direct link? Or are you making a landing page
with the link on it?

Looks like a strategy based question from someone who looks serious on implementing with Answers :). Based on my own experience I have not used landing pages. In the beginning, I was sending traffic to my own sites with a my domains. Since using this with lead generation networks, all I really do is use a generic domain and make a sub-domain on it. I then setup redirection for the subdomain via CPanel. This is the fastest way for me to handle it, and the staff member who I have working there just has a set of links to the various offers, making their job easier to answer questions.

Question 2.  Are you seeing what other people are asking and then
ask the same type of questions?

In a way yes and in a way no. I am a really quick learner, but I have also been in the industry a bit now and I feel I have a pretty good understanding on what will work and what will not, before I even try it. If your going to go that route, you could probably phrase your questions a bit differently, and still achieve a popular amount of answers, granted that the question you had just researched was a popular one.

Question 3. When answering other people questions are you sending
them with an affiliate link?

I just wanted to pop in and get this off my chest right quick. Over the last year and more importantly, (over the last couple of month’s), I am getting the ever frightful and extremely irritating question “How Can I Make Money Fast”? Well, first things first. Yes, you can make fast, but I am always under the presumption that when someone asks me this, I feel they are not going to totally commit to what it takes to make money.

Let’s just aside put that dumbass question and ask a real one shall we. “How are you going to make money”? That is the question you should QUIETLY (notice I said quietly) ask yourself. If your completely retarded in regards to the Internet, then I just cannot take the time to answer the question. Matter of fact, I cannot even answer the question at all, for anyone. The answers lie in your desires, motives, persistance and work ethics. There are many more factors involved, but if you got answers to those 4 then your off to a damn good start.

There is one thing that rings true in this chaotic Online Marketing World. Work Ethic is going to get you further and faster than the next guy (or girl). Instead of asking how your going to do it, your time is better spent on attempting what you have already read.
