Yahoo News wouldn’t normally care whether its brand name was mixed in with this Twitter user’s other tweets.
Branded Cursing
Yet, I am pretty sure they aren’t going to be publishing news on their new blog network featuring stories laced with curse words any time soon.
Even I, a lowly rather unimaginative blogger can crank out Tweets and Blog posts free of cuss words.
You would think a Harvard graduate could too…
I guess anything goes in Web 2.0.
As mentioned in my post yesterday, Tweets are now appearing in the Bing.com/Twitter search results Beta.
Bing Twitter Results Beta
I just replied to a Tweet and found it seconds later in Bing’s Twitter search results Beta.
Although this search result is relevant to the search term, I am not yet convinced publishing Tweets in the broader search index other than for news related terms will have any value to the search audience.
Particularly if Twitter search results are any indication of the quality of information being Tweeted by the Twitter community.
I think Bing being first mover in real time integration of Tweets into search results may ultimately dilute the value of what search results quality they already have.
After studying Tweets from within a 100 mile radius of my city for two weeks straight, I found there is a significant descrepancy between the number of quality Twitter signals to the sheer amount of Twitter noise.
As Bing advances down the real time search path vis-a-vis Twitter, I am certain they will discover much the same.
The following are my Tweets 1,081 through 1,181.
I thought I had seen all of the possible businesses Donald Trump could lend his name to from Trump Water to Trump University but this one takes the cake.
Donald Trump Network Marketer
I had seen several Tweets pushing a similar message and thought the Tweets might have been exaggerated.
However, if there are ads running the same message – it must be true!
I think there are two takeaways from Donald Trump’s latest business venture:
1. A brand can over extend itself and stray far enough from its place in the consumer’s mind as to actually lose its place in the consumer’s mind – thereby diluting any brand equity it may have had.
2. There is no easier mark than a salesman.
I would have loved to have witnessed the process where the network marketer who sold Donald Trump on lending his name to a multi-level marketing scheme closed that deal – it had to have been a doozy.
Good luck Donald Trump Network Marketing Company!

WordPress recently introduced a new url shortening feature to the blogging community called “Get Shortlink”.
Wordpress Get Shortlink
WordPress bloggers can now get a shortened url for each of their WordPress blog posts by simply clicking the “Get Shortlink” button next to each of their post’s Permalink addresses.
The new url shortening feature from WordPress will save bloggers time and several keystrokes when Tweeting their most recent blog post to their Twitter account.
Great new feature Matt!
When will I be able to Tweet my most recent WordPress blog posts directly to my Twitter account?
