Jason Calacanis – An Interesting look into the future of Social Media

Most people who are interested in the Internet and in how to make money from it today tend to zero in on how to promote one business or brand.  Generally, the majority of questions involve “How do I get my website ranked higher in Google” or “Why should I be interested in Social Networks”?

From a purely local and specific perspective, these are both good questions (which will be addressed in later articles here on the Examiner) but for a real perception of the magnitude of the business that is the Internet, we all should study icons of the early days of the industry that is now called social media and follow these pathfinders leading our way into the future.

Jason Calacanis is both an icon and a pathfinder.

Brash, even harsh at times, many people revel in the idea of taking pot shots at Jason Calacanis the co-creator of Weblogs Inc. (Sold to AOL for 30 Million in 2005) and current CEO of Mahalo a people powered search engine. Jason Calacanis started as a Journalist publishing Silicon Alley Reporter, a 16 page New York based tech newsletter and later became a pioneering blogger long before anyone knew how popular and powerful blogs would become as a publishing platform.  Born in 1970 Jason is a very young .com era success story and it would seem he is not close to resting on the successes of the past.

One inventory distributed throughout the world on eBay. Selling in 21 global markets from your standard inventory and managing every product from one console even if you sell under multiple ebay accounts either in America or throughout the world.

  • Does this sound like an expensive and complicated proposition?

iBusinessLogic Corporation is proud to have been selected to represent MerchantRun-GlobalLink in the USA. While the company and it’s software have been used by eBay powersellers worldwide for some time, it is relatively new here in the United States. iBusinessLogic recognizes the need for US based sellers to offer product to a global market. With the exchange rate imbalance and an ever tightening market at home, exploring new opportunities abroad could be the difference between profit and loss in the coming year(s).

We have negotiated a special offer with MerchantRun-GlobalLink which includes a free trial in addition to a $24.99 credit against the cost of using the software product.  Speaking of costs, we could not imagine them being any lower for a product of this caliber.  There are no setup fees, no monthly fees and no hosting charges.  MerchantRun GlobalLink only charges when an item actually sells and then the cost is ridiculously low @ 1% of the selling price with a cap at $5.00 per sale.  This is an amazing opportunity for volume sellers and low volume hogh dollar sellers alike.  The cost per sale could not be lower for this time of ultimate convenience, control including Worldwide market opportunity.

Follow any of the links to MerchantRun-GlobalLink to sign up for a free trial today.  I think you will be very pleased with how the software will improve the eBay business you currently have.

Full disclosure – iBusinessLogic represents MerchantRun-GlobalLink in the USA.

    Insights – Google Researching Own Search Page

    Over on the Official Google blog is a very interesting article with a not so exciting title.

    The Art of the field study

    Why is this article a great read for any Internet marketer or eCommerce merchant?

    Any insight into how Google optimises it’s own pages to reduce bounce rate and increase the stickyness of a single page, is good insight.

    One great nugget of information in the article is…

    “We find that searchers often turn so quickly to Google that they don’t really think too much about what they’re actually searching for. It’s surprising, but often we’ll see people trying to find out something about a topic, but then never actually mention the topic itself. That is, there’s often a big discrepancy between what they’ll tell me (the human observer) they’re trying to do, and the search terms they enter into Google”.

    Google uses advanced research methods to determin how people find the information they are looking for on the Internet in the Google search engine.  One method is shown in the video below.

    The video, provided by Google shows eye tracking on a typical search page and how people go about making the decision to click on a particular result in miliseconds. It is a methodical process and seems to indicate people are very quick in the decision making process when landing on a search page.

    The article goes on to detail how Google has changed its own “Advanced Search” page in an effort to reduce the “bounce rate”
    on this essential Google search page.

    Reading the “Official Google blog” is a good idea for anyone interested in learning how the experts of search improve upon the considerable knowlege base they already have accumulated.
