Why And How To Delete Your Facebook Account

There is a growing backlash movement directed at Facebook over their apparent lack of concern about their user’s privacy. People are either not happy about, or not entirely understanding, what the new changes mean. Specially, the part about how by default, “everything” is social.
Facebook’s most recent changes to their privacy policy are just another milestone in their efforts towards world domination. I do not agree, nor do I believe the assertion that Facebook is merely matching what their user base is demanding.

SEO Case Study

This is a case study published by SeoLinkwheelers, and was originally referred to me by Shoemoney. What I like about this case study is that it highlights some of the steps needed to perform proper keyword research and then shows you the results that you can get when keyword research is done well.

Welcome to the party President Chavez. Pay attention to what I’m about to tell you:
I hope that you’ll listen to your detractors instead of trying to throw them in jail. You can learn …

In the podcast, you’ll find a segment with Brian Millner, Adam Ostrow from Mashable, Jessica Simmons and Gary Vaynerchuk. I love Gary Vee’s opening “I’m, not Yoda” line.
I recorded these interviews using a really cool Zoom H2 portable stereo recorder. I highly recommend you click on my affiliate link right there and get …

Marketing Latinos Podcast Week of April 12, 2010 -How To Deal With Diabetes

Recorded at the “Hats Off For Hospice” event in Kyle Texas, I had a conversation with Linda Lopez, R.N. about Latino Health issues. This conversation centered around diabetes. We talked about what diabetes is, how to live with diabetes and we also went over some very minor tweaks that you can implement to the food that you eat to greatly reduce your diabetes risk.
I’m not a very medically savvy person, so I learned a lot from this conversation with Ms. Lopez.

Some of the links that were mentioned in the recording:
