Jeff, I think you can make a case for every single one of them sticking out – I’m using them all very effectively.

I appreciate the point that the first article is trying to make – don’t waste resources on new technologies for new technologies’ sake. But AdWords seems like it sticks out a bit from that list. Maybe I’m just biased because of my own (positive) experiences with it.

Thanks for the heads up. Title is not as important as content. Thanks for the link too!

I wonder if using these online tools (that I’m not supposed to use) will help my local CPA consulting practice?

Will someone (anywhere in the US) hire a CPA from SC to do high-end professional services consulting, QB tech support or tax-related prep and planning? I’m curious.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer, CPA

Note to all my competitors – please read and abide by Mr. Marks’ column. I built a blog in about 30 minutes and spend about that much each week adding some content. Very, very intense stuff that average business owner can’t handle

John,

No worries – but no ambivalence intended either – I know what value these have, but I get a little tired convincing people – so what I suggested in my post was – join and figure it out – by the way, join so you can watch what I do, that was the point of the post. I think the real value from some of these sites is that they have no value until you build a community and work it. My communities in many of the sites I listed grew substantially from that post – does it start to make a little sense in that light?

Hey, you have a Friday Roundup too. (You probably have had one longer than me). Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you didn’t find my link in too critical or glib. I didn’t mean it to be. I just thought I detected a note of Web 2.0 ambivalence there, and I certainly share it.

I love that article, since I am successfully using most of those things that we small business owners aren’t supposed to use. Video, Adwords, Blogging, RSS, and more.

I hope they run that article everywhere and everyone believes it, so that all of my competitors give up and don’t even try!
