Pangea Day It’s Not To Late!

I was busy with preparations for Mothers Day and the first ever Edmonton Tweet Up yesterday. Last night I was able to view a bit of Pangea Day - the Power of Film for Social Change. It was truly Inspiring.

Pangea Day It’s Not To Late!

Seesmic Invite: Lets Get to Know One Another

Greg Balanko-Dickson — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:06:59 +0000

Seesmic is a Video Collaboration tool and community. It is sort of a video version of Twitter, although it is also much more than that. The grand vision behind Seesmic is for it to become a very open online video/television service where people are constantly interacting around both user generated and professional content.

Lets Get To Know One Another

If you are interested, you can get a free invitation code by visiting my Seesmic homepage to view my videos. All you need to do is respond to this video and then click “register” and Seesmic will generate a Seesmic invitation code that you can use to finalize your registration.

Really Cool Stats For Landing Pages

Greg Balanko-Dickson — Sat, 03 May 2008 07:45:16 +0000

I came across Pagelizer today. This is the first web stats landing page behavior tracking tool that has made sense to me and that will help tweak a website design and layout to maximize your results. So far I like what I see, will keep you posted.

From their website…

Pagealizer helps site owners get insight on how powerful their site content is. Pagealizer shows in great detail how long people stay on your page (real bounce rate), how far they scrolled down the page and where they clicked.

Stupid Mindjet Mind Manager

Greg Balanko-Dickson — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:32:34 +0000

There is no excuse for stupid marketing these days. Especially when you are a technology company that knows I am a user of an Apple machine, why invite me to a Windows only Beta program? Wasted my time.

Stupid, stupid, stupid marketing. Do not buy Mind Manager from Mindjet!
