Larry Brauner of Online Social Networking makes an interesting (and perhaps obvious) point. After attending a webinar, he brings home a point that maybe some of us ARE missing.

Do you follow blindly what your “guru” is telling you? Does it often seem that by the time you get to “do it” the doing has already been done to death? Do you always have that “missed the boat” feeling?

Maybe there is a reason…

Larry speaks out about the human tendency to “flock,” and questions whether that is a wise internet marketing (or social media marketing) strategy.

We were recently enrolled taking a very publicized course about social media. We did withdraw from that course when it appeared that the areas for marketing where oversaturated and perhaps not the best choice. Another case of too little too late (and at a very expensive price tag to learn the lesson!) ??

Larry’s point of zagging if everyone is zigging is a point we should all take to heart. Doing our own thing, planned mine you, not mindless, has always served us well.

Thanks Larry for the reminder!

Sometimes internet marketing needs to take a backseat so we stay informed about the health and welfare of ourselves and our planet. Yahoo! News posted this health-related, must read bit of information today written by Jeff Donn, Martha Mendoza, and Justin Pritchard, writers for the Associated Press (written on Monday, March 10, 2008).

“Hot topic news” as far as we are concerned, and yes straying from our normal social media marketing and/or internet marketing strategies, but definitely worth 10 minutes of your time to consider the health implications for you and your family.
