BlogRush died.
John Reese just announced on his blog that he’s shutting it down.
I predicted it wouldn’t work - and explained why, while saying I hoped I would be wrong… even suggesting another way it could be re-positioned with a better chance of working well for members.
Anyway, that’s history.

Twitter trumps email.
Every time.
That’s my opinion.
Twitter limits anything you say to a maximum of 140 characters. For messages needing lengthier prose, you need to point your followers to a web site, blog or report.

Gail talks about things like:

Instead, I chose a different route. To reach out to a section of patients who do not come to a hospital - because they can’t […]

Kevin Riley is an infopreneur who gives away amazing
value in his little $7 reports. I’ve told him many
times to raise his prices, but he won’t listen!
This has been going on for YEARS.

fair price, I was intrigued.
“He’s finally come to his senses,” I told […]
