Adam Ginsberg Launches ShortenMe.net
Adam Ginsberg launches ShortenMe.net – another addition to the long list or URL shortening websites. What is ShortenMe.net anyway? ShortenMe.net is a URL shortener. URL shorteners transform ugly, long URLs into short ones that you can email without fear of them breaking – or include in Twitter tweets without using up too many characters. What the headings mean URL length shows how many characters (including the http:// at the front) the shortened URL generated for this site’s homepage was.

Using Facebook and Twitter for Increasing Online Sales
Community sells. Members discuss shared interests – hobbies, travel, politics, medical conditions, favorite foods, you name it. They create their own buzz and ‘user-generated’ content about their favorite products and services. They recommend things to one another – everything from the cars they drive and the restaurants they frequent to the places they travel for vacation. Think about it: Are you more likely to purchase something based on the recommendation of a salesperson or a family member or friend?

In this article, Adam Ginsberg shows you how to use Twitter to increase your eBay sales. Today, more than ever, selling on eBay is competitive.

This changed when eBay changed its default search results to be based on their “best match” algorythm. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, which are free to use, can be a valuable...
Adam Ginsberg’s Airline Experiences
I get the pleasure of traveling all around the world and meeting some spectacular people in my journey. And, these days I’ve even taken to twitter my flying experiences. You can follow me here: http://twitter.com/adamginsberg However, there’s more to world travel and jet setting than meets the eye. First, there’s the long lines at the airport.
