WANT MORE EXPOSURE....YOU BETTER READ THIS!
Are you looking for a social media that do not leave you unnoticed, have your videos, pictures and blogs read in calmness, and not leaving your reader speeding out to make contact with another member leaving you out in the cold. You check you site and nobody visits, you blog all day and nobody comments, share views and worst still, you have not made any friends, only contacts.
I stumbled upon a great social media which promises:
- transparency: not man impersonating woman or vice versa
- real-time video upload not just from your webcam, camera but your mobile phone!
- connect with real people who takes real life pictures
- air your videos to share with your affiliates, friends, relative, subscribers without you having to run a long email newsletter
- broadcast all your work in one profile page.
- blog on your own homepage for all to read
- get subscribers and more......
Hard to believe, then see this for yourself. This was taken from the social site next2Friends.
and it is posted on Oliver's page.
"Make way For Next2Friends the Newest and Qikist (pun Intended) Mobile Social Media Platform.Yes its here,
This is Web 2.0 at its best!
Next2Friends combines Social Networking,Digital Media and Mobiles all in one little package.
The way it does this is by having loads of cool apps which are accessible using a Mobile phone and a Computer which are mans two best friends not forgetting Rex (The Dog)."
If you do not know HTML, want to blog and have your friends read them, all you have to do is blog on the same social site. If you don't want to write, use your mobile phone, take a video of your own seminar or workshop to promote yourself. Bring birthday celebrations at Realtime to your families overseas. All in one social site.

I find this site so simple to work with, idiot proof: that is all I need.
ANOTHER GREAT ONE TO HAVE IN THE POUCH....ZIP....

Blog without html
I have been receiving requests to teach html for blogs. Actually all my earlier posts are just words. I did learn later. You can quickly post an article in minutes by doing it in a few simple steps.
1. Write your draft on a notepad or windows document. Do not attempt to format your text yet. Just write what you want to post.
2. Make sure your keywords appear on the title and at least first 3 paragraphs of your document. Do not keep repeating them, search engines don’t like it.
3. At the end of your document, do these 3 things:
- type the tag lines
- ask yourself where you want to place advertisement, logos and banners: make a note at the bottom of your finished document
- type the keyword that you want to link to other sites or advertisement page you are promoting.
Done phase one.
Now you can go to your post area in your website, and begin. The reason for creating your post on a document are:
- when you are on the site admin working on your post, you are also opening your front door for the world to see. Just in case the connection breaks, you still have your draft saved.
- If you not understand html, at least you have your paragraphs in order. That is enough.
- you do your spell check on the document as your post area do not have a spell check function.
When you do not know how to insert adsense, picture or anything else, put them on the widget area or sidebars. Don’t worry so much about the design and layout. Basically, if you do not have an article, no readers are going park at your site. So forget about the pictures and design, just go ahead and write. Blogging is about writing. When you have reached you tenth post, you will start to see a pattern in the mechanics between posts.

Blogging: Art or Craft?
Blogging used to be about keeping a diary of our activities to share good knowledge or a journal. From my own readings, blogging has lost its artform. Bloggers used to feed the news with content because they are always on the scene. Now bloggers get a feed off the news.
It is about getting more affiliates to sign up and sell programmes, how to keep your ranking high on search engines, how to monetize your feeds or how to disguise yourself in forums to get your threads sticky. Quantity versus quality.
Nowadays, when you have nothing to say, you are taught to customize other people's articles and make it your own. Blogging is made into a craft not an art.
Choice of words are very important if not crucial to our blog's health. We are taught to watch out for keywords for the search engine to like your posts. So we turn our art of blogging into a craft to make the search engine work for us.
One can easily spot the difference between an artist and a craftsman. The artist learns to bridge the gap of love and friendship between himself and his readers over a period of time, whereas the craftsman can capture the attention of his reader albeit spontaneous. The artistic blogger spends a lot of time and little money; the crafty blogger spends more money and less time to get off the yellow brick road.
Landing pages no longer show any posts, but opt-ins, adsense and graphics. The content.....less then 500 words. Marketeers says internet users are becoming impatient and have no time to read, don't write too much. So a picture and caption can be considered a post to be 'read'. Ha! what;s that? Not every picture tells a story, you have to at least write a sentence or two! Wow! Britney Spears shaved her head! That;s a blog too!
.....mmm,,,,,i should use my designer pouch for this one,,,,,,,zip......oh wait,,,,,unzip,,,,,what is your view .........

From the wikipedia
A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art, artlog ,sketchblog, videos, vlog, music. MP3 blog.audio, podcasting are part of a wider network of social media.
Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[1] With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.

My myBloglog Say
myBloglog is the first social website I joined. I have been enjoying my stay thorougly; these are my reasons.
First of all, the interface on myBloglog is easy, quick and userfriendly. You can join even if you do not have a website or are not planning to have one. It is all encompassing, idiot proof.
2nd, membership is free and you can easily browse other social contacts in one pageview.
3rd, you can access to member’s profile and website without any hassle.
4th, you can receive and send private messages which gives your perimeters to build around as you develop your social network.
5th, members can send mass messages to their communities at one click of the button.
6th, there is freedom of membership with other contacts; join or leave, add or remove. Very nice and no parties are hurt as you still have many left to work with if anyone leaves you.
7th, nobody likes to leave or remove you from their list because everybody wants the exposure. Bottom line, nobody loses, everybody wins.
8th, the numbers on your homepage encourages you: successful bloggers always talk about numbers – traffic, messages, subscriptions, incoming links, backlinks, - more the merrier. And myBloglog does an excellent job at telling you there is progress on your social networking. Even if you have 1 message today, it is coded red.
9th, it does not forget that you want to succeed. If a member follows you, it is noted, like this in your email (you need to activate email alert),
It is a wonderful feeling. If you want exposure, myBloglog delivers.
10th, myBloglog wants you to quit socialising after 15 messages. It sends you a friendly note, "go and enjoy the outdoors!". Before you have a pouch on your tummy, leave your seat and stretch out.
This is my personal recommendation:
In order to increase your presence in the social network, you need to focus on socializing not selling or marketing. Just because it is free and/or offers money, it is good. The social site may not be suitable for your purpose and personality as website builder. You need to keep working on the social site by adding, visiting and joining other communities. And as often as possible, be truthful and honest with your messages. Visit their websites and don't lie that you have. Remember your activities can be easily tracked; if you have visited, the website owner will know just by checking on his myBloglog stats or from tracking widgets on his websites. Take your time to send a genuine message, it is worth your while and you are making your contact happy.
Sucessful bloggers nowadays create blogsites on just one topic on blogger or other free blogs to increase their hit rate with search engines for their winning keywords. Look out for unpopular sites and you will be pleasantly surprised. The author can be the owner of the most creative and hot website in the internet. (Read RSS Alternatives below for research tips.)
If you do not enjoy your stay, consider subscribing to another social site because your absence does not make the hearts grow fonder on social sites. Help the members to decide to include you in their community. Promote yourself and tell them how you can become their good buddy.

This is Blog Pouch
This is My Blog Pouch. This is where I keep log of my experiences while producing the weblog, www.childhoodspeech.com. Today, I met a colleague at Starbucks, Raffles City Singapore, who asked me about one of the layouts that I did. It is pretty technical to explain so I figured I should take time to share my knowledge here as I go about working the website.
I am an avid blogger. I tend to do everything myself from writing, loading and editing using just Wordpress, tips from various sites and html. Nobody says you can make money just by writing and copying articles, so I have decided to find out for myself and do everything right from the basics. Many experts I have spoken to have one thing in common, they keep learning and improving on the mechanics of generating income based on their personal expertise.
Yaro Stark: Entrepreneur's Journey - Article Marketing and Podcaster
Tim Godfrey: Profit Praxis - Clickbank Expert, Affliate Marketing
Alvin Phang: Atomic Blogging - Traffic Expert
Ewen Chia: Make Money From Home - Internet Marketeer
Gobala Krishnan: Wordpress Guy - Internet Marketeer
There are still hundreds out there who do not wish to be known by their names, like The Rich Jerk (whoever you are spiderman). I mean you can name the sites and the people behind the sites. You will learn that they did not get to the point of success without sweat. They are all experts in their own rights. They are good at what they do, so I will be crazy to follow them religiously. The result is, I came up with Childhoodspeech.com. This is one subject I know very well.
For the first few months, I keep checking on my traffic, adsense and clickbank accounts. Nothing much has happened in the dollar signs (nobody says you can be rich overnight!) The experts say you can make money they didn't say you can get the money now. The first time I see the figures on adsense account went up, I was delirious!!! It really works. I was like a little child who has found sand in the bathtub. I was not looking at the amount, I was looking at the mechanics. Wow! That works like magic.
For me, I started with writing first. I discovered that article marketing is the cheapest and most time tested blogging methods ever used. Many people make money from article marketing alone, whether they customised from other people's articles, produce their own or just use the same materials they have written before a year ago.
I did say my weblog is fresh and not a duplicate / reproduction from other websites, didn't I? Read About.
Here in Blog Pouch, I hope to share my information with you about blogging tips. Not all tips apply to you, but I guarantee you will want to use one tip from this pouch at least once after you have come visit.
....more questions....the pouch is full. Zip.
