Why waste time trawling through all your browser bookmarks when you can have all the updates delivered straight to your homepage? But relying on RSS website feeds and topic keyword feeds will only have a limited lifespan. With more and more blogs appearing on every topic under the sun your aggregator will Reciprocal Linking - How The Hell Do You Do It? Anybody who has seen my main website will know that I might have jumped the gun a bit when I pigeon holed myself as a professional business blogger. It’s been not so much a case of jumping on the blogging bandwagon as jumping too early with nowhere to land.At the beginning of this year I was thrown in at the deep end, well and truly. I bought an ebook shop dirt cheap on Ebay, thinking at that time, what a good idea it was but I knew absolutely nothing about the business. I’ve got no regrets and I’ve loved every minute of it. However I wasn’t fully aware how much my life was about to change. Countless hours spent on the computer, studying lots of new programming terminology, trying to understand the importance of keywords, SEO, and linking.!! Probably sounds familiar to many of you. So whilst I wait for the pro-blogger gravy train to arrive, I thought I might look into my crystal ball and see what other predictions I can try and foresee in the mists of time. We are still only really at the start of the ambiguous ‘Web 2.0’ with marketers and PR professionals all rushing to find the best ways of utilising the new tools at their disposal. The gold-rush is on to find the best way of gaining exposure and mining the rapidly growing online marketplace. It has never been easier or cheaper to reach a global audience in a very short space of time. Web 2.0 has also been synonymous with the growth of the bedroom publisher. Anybody with a PC and Internet connection can now run their own blog or website, and potentially reach millions around the world. This has created a torrent of content flooding onto the Internet on a daily basis. So much content is being produced that it is virtually impossible to keep track of all the latest updates on all but the smallest of niches. Over 50 million blogs are now being tracked by Technorati with 1.6 million new posts hitting the web everyday! Google and Microsoft are also hell-bent on adding all the greatest literary works known to man by scanning whole libraries onto the Internet. I don’t, however, expect to see Shakespeare or Dickens topping Digg anytime soon. There is going to have to be a rethink on how we find and distribute content and information. After all, we can’t go on fighting over the top few search engine spots forever!

The gold-rush is on to find the best way of gaining exposure and mining the rapidly growing online marketplace.My bag topped out at 32 kilos or about 70 pounds as I gave an innocent look to the ticket agent at BWI airport. I thought I was doing well as I had at least three extra inches of room depth for additional items inside of the bag. The ticket agent informed me that they weren't allowed to take on a bag weighing over 30 kilos, so I used my backup portable bag to transfer some of the weight. I needed to take a wide variety of items and clothing for activities that ranged from hiking and casual city clothing to the theatre plus all of my camera It has never been easier or cheaper to reach a global audience in a very short space of time.

Anybody with a PC and Internet connection can now run their own blog or website, and potentially reach millions around the world. This has created a torrent of content flooding onto the Internet on a daily basis.So many business consultants often say that they are tired of being right all the time and wish that their clients or business associates would listen. They get upset and admit that millions of dollars were wasted because they just did not listen. One top-notched consultant from PA mentioned this to me not long ago. Indeed, as a semi-retired consultant, I must agree with her.I also caution myself and others not to always blame the client, even though it is their fault for not listening.

I don’t, however, expect to see Shakespeare or Dickens topping Digg anytime soon.(excerpted from The Weekend Seminar - Skills for the 21st Century 1999 Version)I find it's important to not walk into the 21st Century without multiple skills. But what I also find is that if you are already in sales, network marketing or have an entrepreneurial business (or plan to in the future), you can gain the needed skills for the future while you create your income now.Here's my short list for on-the-job training, so that you can learn while you earn.1) SalesI began my journey with sales, which of course There is going to have to be a rethink on how we find and distribute content and information.

With more and more blogs appearing on every topic under the sun your aggregator will eventually reach saturation point, overloaded with content. I already spend most of the morning reading through all my RSS feeds - and I only started using RSS a few months ago! If I don’t want this to creep into my afternoons I’m going to have to sleep less, learn to read quicker or limit my daily intake. As I subscribe to more and more blogs this is going to mean missing potentially mission critical information simply due to the constraints of time. My prediction is that aggregators are going to have to become a lot smarter in the future. Obediently following your instructions and delivering content from all your subscribed sites will simply lead to info overload. They are going to have to almost develop artificial intelligence and be able to predict what content you want, and the most relevant, on a daily basis. Aggregators are going to have to behave like researchers and reporters. Assessing what sites and content you read and then going out and to find the latest, best and most relevant info available. Your homepage will be your own fully customised magazine with news, video and audio all handpicked to match your interests. With the proliferation of laptops, smartphones and electronic paper people will have more devices than ever before for consuming content. Thus feeding the demand for yet more blogs and distributed news catering to the tastes of an increasingly widening cross-section of people. Being able to get your content delivered to people’s homepage will be critical if you want to sell a product or service.
