…so this is the Messageworks blog. Welcome. I almost want to say “welcome to the machine..”
If you are new to this site, it is a re-built version of the previous blog. Returning readers might notice the articles and posts are familiar; some of these were originally posted in late 2009 or early 2010. (Hence the zero comments and retweets on this new edition.)
OK, there’s millions of blogs so …why come here at all? Well if you are into technology and how its impacts business, this is my perspective on all things digital: sales, marketing, social media and more. I will be posting on my experiences, and topics of interest as I find them – or in some cases, as I use them. Topics like social selling, design, apps that innovate for business, marketing – on Facebook (what is FBML anyway..?) Twitter, technology trends, and lots more – and how all these things make a difference to businesses, owners and entrepreneurs.
Drop me a line or better yet, comment on what interests you.
Thanks!
Peter

The latest Facebook statistics are now published. I am sure people are pouring over the facts – 400 million users – active ones at that, with the average user having 130 friends. I think one of the most interesting statistics is the 70% of the users on Facebook are outside of the US. I would like to see a global breakdown of the user from the Facebook statisticians.

Recently I re-discovered LogoTournament to be a very innovative use of the web’s global reach – and of online social communities.
If you are not familiar with LogoTournament the site provides business owners with on-demand communication and branding services in the form of a logo design contest from a community of graphic designers from all over the world. If you are shopping for a logo design on a budget, this might be a site for you.
