Its a social web browser, which to be honest I don’t fully understand just yet.

HOWEVER!

What I have found is that Flock has some awesome social media  integration features in it.

What I mean by that is… you can have a pretty Digg feed going along the top of your web browser, a Twitter side bar, Facebook, and then a Stumbleupon toolbar, too. And thats not all it can do… you can follow other users activity & share your own.

Its like a social media hub in my browser – and given the importance of social media these days, I think I’m going to be getting to know it much better soon.

Want to see what I mean? Go to Flock & download a copy (its free).

Well, after thinking on this for a few minutes, my brain figured out that I needed to let you know why I’m writing this blog. What am I trying to acheive, who am I talking with, and why.

First of all is the why. I’m starting this blog because Twitter made me. That’s right, its all Twitter’s fault. Having such a large number of people following my tweets and carrying on a conversation with me made me think its about time to really save what I and others are writing so its not lost in the twitterverse (which is a bit like the land of lost socks), forever.

This blog is primarily here to converse with anyone and everyone intersted in marketing.

I find marketing such a fascinating thing…

And I find it such a powerful, challenging, and sometimes soul searching exercise that sometimes I need to go outside for air. It quite literally can be used for “good” or “evil”, and the line is always blurry. This just makes it more interesting to me, and makes me question exactly what is really “going on”.

I also love marketing because it lets me help people that I’d like to help. 

They are:

1. Small business people.

2. People thinking of starting a business.

3. Anyone who’d like to make a few extra dollars online.

4. Anyone who’d like to live a better life and lifestyle.

If you’re any of those people, why not shoot me a comment right now, on this barely alive blog, and let me know what you love about marketing?

Warmest regards,
Jonathon Weston
