Internet Geek Girl

Hello world. Internet Geek Girl here. As the sub-title states, this blog is about life on and off the grid. I’ll cover affiliate marketing, Internet strategy, web2.0 and the general state of affairs in the tech industry - but don’t be surprised to see a word or two on how movies, HBO and Oprah influence my life. You can also expect the occasional glimpse of my yoga and zen side. Inspiration is everywhere, and it’s all about generating ideas, thoughts. FLOW, man.

I was watching “Hustle & Flow” the other night. I was struck by a scene in which Shelby (played by DJ Squalls) talks about the burning passion we have to create and share our pain and passion. Here’s how he puts it:

“You got to get what you got to say out, because you got to. Every man, you know what I’m sayin’, every man, has the right to contribute a verse.”

- Shelby, Hustle & Flow

People ask me all the time, “What is web2.0?” My answer? You just read it. Shelby captured the true spirit behind the marketing phenomenon we call web2.0. With a constellation of new forums, everyone can contribute a verse. This is mine. Many people have heard me live and in person, but this is my first blog. Be kind A thru Z listers.How do you express your verse? Do your customers have something to tell you? Tell each other? Are they being heard? How can you help foster a conversation? How can you use that conversation to enhance your product or service.One way to spark a dialogue is to ask a question. Ask your customers to contribute their answers, and share a podcast of customer stories. See what flows.
