		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I conducted a brief experiment comparing the URL shortener services Bit.ly and Ow.ly. Although both services shortened links effectively (as they all do) I was specifically researching the analytic advantages of these services. I also asked my Facebook and Twitter followers what they used. Every recommendation I received was for Bit.ly. Ow.ly and Ht.ly are integrated into HootSuite. Ow.ly shortens links, [...]]]></description>

Last year, the sales were, &#8220;too insignificant to measure&#8221;. Readers of Jim Carlson dot Net may recall that I&#8217;ve been experimenting with the [...]]]></description>

In general there are three major types of sites: corporate, e-commerce and content marketing. Websites offer different benefits for corporate, e-commerce and content marketing. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fjimcarlson.net%2Fcorporate-websites%2F2010%2F12%2F'; addthis_title = 'Corporate+Websites'; addthis_pub = 'jimcarlson';]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in my previous posts Sharpening Your Music Marketing Skills and The Blame Game, I believe that educating yourself about the music industry is a critical factor in being successful. Martin Atkins has released his latest book, &#8220;Welcome to the Music Business, You&#8217;re Fucked&#8221;. Quite frankly, this is a must read. The book is easy [...]]]></description>

Tweetdeck served me well, however, I began to grow tired of what seemed like daily software updates for either Tweetdeck or Adobe AIR (which is required to run Tweetdeck). One [...]]]></description>

Essentially, Plurk is very similar to Twitter in that each message or link, can be up to 140 text characters in length. What set Plurk apart was threaded conversations.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently attended Martin Atkin’s : Band Tune Up at the Madison Media Institute in Madison, WI. As I mentioned in my previous article, Sharpening Your Music Skills, I&#8217;m a firm believer that musicians must educate themselves and take control of their career. One of the most important lessons Martin stated was simple, &#8220;Stop blaming anyone for [...]]]></description>
