Marketing Fail of the week courtesy of oddly specific dot com This is a sign in Las Vegas.  I'm glad to know that if it's in stock they have it! What do you do when you are going on national television in less than 12 hours and your website doesn't work? by Laura Sounds like an impossible situation, but that is exactly what happened last week.  Although I cannot tell you who this public figure is, I can tell you that we were contacted to finish their website, get it working so that people could view their video and fill out a form showing their support. We stayed up all night and the site was up.  Since Thursday, their video has been viewed over 80,000 times and there have been over 17, 000 people signing up in support of them. New Podcasts Released  by Laura Two new podcasts this week: Interview with Eric Hamm the wordpress developer of Frugal Theme. Interview with Andrew Machado community manger of Apture and their new magic search bar. Find out that and more with our podcast series on Yada Yada Marketing and available on iTunes for download.  Check out our podcast page here. The New Web by Laura The last few weeks have been very exciting.  My continued research into mobile marketing and geographically tagged applications like Four Square, Gowalla and Twitters new geo functions have opened up a HUGE opportunity for small local businesses. It reminds me of what it was like back in 1999 when I started PCDJ.  The new technology being released then was changing the way we listened to music and how we lived. This new technology is doing the same thing for connecting people up on a local level and local businesses will be the beneficiaries of this if they know how to take advantage of it. The Internet made the world smaller, allowing us to communicate across the world as if it was across town. It's now coming back to our homes and neighborhoods and it's exciting.  Join me Friday for the next Local Search Dominator webinar and I'll show you all about it! Click Here to Register.
