Niche Social Networking and Sports Connectivity
As social networking gets more intertwined in our daily lives there is an ever increasing demand for niche social connectivity sites. Most of my friends are engaged actively in sites like Twitter, Facebook, Mixx, and People but unfortunately these sites lack a focus that caters to specific segments. Instead, those sites engage and connect large scale groups. A new site, that I am extremely excited about, connects people are interested in sports.
Timu.com is the niche social networking and sports connectivity site that is taking to social networking into a new realm. Both in lines of social media but also in the realm of team communication. As a sports enthusiast, avid skier, Seahawks season ticket holder, ex harescrambler and desert racer, and former Junior Olympian, I get a lot of pleasure out of talking and sharing experiences with others that have a similar passion, no matter what the sport. That void is what Timu fills and which other social networks cannot provide.

Facebook Status Update & Micro Blogging Experiment
Yesterday while sitting at my desk an idea popped into my head after reading some status updates and which ones generate discussions. A few times I have randomly posted status updates that I knew my friends would instantly jump on the chance to “dis” me on.

The site has been full of neglect
Again I have been busy building website, updating sites to Wordpress 2.7 and putting proposals together and haven’t been blogging like I should. Hopefully that will change soon, or maybe not (don’t know which one is a good thing) and I can get to posting about marketing again.
Lord of the Rings Onlines introduces Wordpress for character & kin profiles
Last night when I went to login and start battling foes on Lord of the Rings Online a new alert jumped out at me. LOTRO introduced character profiles and blogging system for its members. As any self respecting SEO, I went to check out to see what was going on. After logging I found that LOTRO is using Wordpress to give every member and kinship a profile page.
Without trying to control my urge to test it out, I did a blog on how the Wordpress Dashboard works so other members who many not be used to Wordpress can get a quick run through and seasoned veterans who don’t have an account can get an idea of the capability.

Well I have been at it again
A lot has been going on between building website, writing proposals and updating previous client’s websites. At times it can be overwhelming but I enjoy the work and staying busy. Most recently I have completed building a site for a Snohomish County real estate website for a real estate friend of mine Susan Jess.
The site uses a darker theme than I am used to but it really works with the rest of the color scheme. Susan will be able to upload her listings, blog about the market conditions as well as share some fun client appreciation activities. I look forward to watching her site grow and staying informed on the current market conditions.
