At SMX Social in Long Beach, California, April 22 - 23 I had the privilege of asking Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz some questions.
Rand answered candidly about such things as who was his open sharing inspiration, small business SEO and SMM, Jason Calacanis, SMX Social Long Beach, and SEOmoz surprises.
Rand was great as usual and so was SMX Social Long Beach.
Jason Calacanis, well that’s another story.

While at SMX Social Long Beach, I think Austin Powers was there and he tried to pass himself off as Danny Sullivan.
Judge for your self.

When I arrived in San Diego I found out I had a chance to see my brother, Floyd Pool race his bicycle. He was racing at the 2008 OMNIUM which was hosted by the San Diego Cyclo-Vets. The Cyclo-Vets 2008 Omnium consisted of 3 events Time Trial, Road Race, and Criterium. The video below is of Floyd Pool at the Criterium April 13, 2008.
Watching this race and seeing the sponsors logos and banners really got me to thinking.
Is it good marketing strategy to sponsor such a small niche especially on a local level?
If you will look at the list of sponsors you will see every one of them have a bicycle niche to their businesses.
So does it pay to sponsor such a small niche market?
The sponsors and I would have to say yes. Even if you go after a small niche market you serve, they have friends they will tell about your service and so on. You may start with a small group. If you give exceptional customer service any customers you can get to your door can and will grow your business.

Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT), according to their website, is the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company. Thy (Gartner) have began a new study and its potential impact on IT, enterprise businesses, and society in general in the coming years. April 10 at the Gartner Symposium ITxpo 2008 in Las Vegas, Gartner Vice President and Gartner Fellow Richard Hunter revealed some of the first data points from this study.
Two of the most interesting points were:
Google a disruptive technology
This study is being conducted by a team of 15 Gartner researchers, led by Hunter, and the full report will be published mid-2008. The title of Hunter’s presentation at ITxpo was “What Does Google Know?”
Hunter also stated that Google will know a lot more about what’s sold on the Web if Google Checkout takes off, and could soon know a lot about medicine and health patterns if Google Health Records gets adopted.
“Their infrastructure has unprecedented scale,” said Hunter, “and what is even more impressive is their ability to connect vast quantities of information… Google is sitting on the biggest pile of information that has ever been collected in the world.”
The reason why Gartner chose to characterize Google as a disruptive technology and not just an Internet search engine company is because of the the ambitions that Google has for all of that data and the potential impact that those ambitions could have on the technology industry.
Hunter also said “We believe Google’s information security will be a political issue worldwide by the end of the year in 2010.”
Not only does this affect the IT departments but the big question, is Google destined to become Big Brother?
