Finances: What are Assets?

Best explanation I heard? Assets make you Money. Are your assets doing that?

Business: Leslie Freebie

Today I interview Leslie of TheFreebieGuy.net regarding his remarkable success with the CaliStyle101.com Forum. I took notes for this one!

Why were we laughing in the middle of the interview over a “mini-Leslie”? Here’s why: http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/1486/what-can-expensive-tuna-teach-you-about-marketing/

New Twitter Tools coming

The Twitter team must have had a Red Bull machine installed at the offices, because suddenly they’re launching new stuff left and right.

These look like some very interesting features:

1. Search – allow search via name or other profile information (location, bio, and url).

2. Gmail import – Find and invite friends from gmail.

3. Explore – a list some of the tools people can use to interact with Twitter off the site itself.

4.Twitter Blocks – “an abstract way to navigate your Twitter neighborhood or block.”
