You think that Squidoo can eat a fish this big? It's a dorado, commonly served up as mahi mahi. This is my been there, done that fishing moment. I doubt I'll do this again. It's a pain to catch a fish this size.

What I will do over and over is help my customers make sense of the internet as a tool for promoting their business. Whether it's time for you to...

launch or improve your email ezine,
generate more traffic for your web site and
make it more persuasive so that it converts more of that traffic to customers or
jump into blogging or wikis

Sites I Find Useful, Interesting or Both

Gray eMarketing Solutions blog: A blog focused on internet marketing with a few interesting ideas thrown in for leavening.
Urban Dictionary: What does it mean? Find out ... or tell everybody else in this wiki of a dictionary.
Wikipedia: ...the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Now serving 952,592 articles.
pb wiki: ...making a wiki as easy to make as a peanut butter (pb) sandwich. No kidding. Look at mine (next link) if you don't believe me.
My very own pb wiki: It was easy as making a pb sandwich and it didn't stick to the roof of my mouth either...
Blogger.com: Making blogging as easy as a peanutbu... er ... a pickle sandwich.

Edit.com: Do-it-yourself website editing without changing your host, or your design.

Vertical Response: Take the worry out of your email campaigns and email list management.

GroupMail: If you want to manage your email list and broadcasting in-house, GroupMail is a slick little tool to allow you to do this - while avoiding getting on the wrong side of your ISP.
Get Firefox: Browse the web the way it's supposed to be. There's a reason why over 100 million people have downloaded Firefox in the last year only. Between tabbed browsing and the customizations you can do easily with Firefox' extensions you'll wonder how you managed to limp along with IE for all these years. Am I biased. Nope. Just a Firefox user.
