So it has begun. The challenge is under way. And Ed leads off with one of his big ideas, the symphony of 4 parts Research Traffic Conversion Product This is the big picture view of a business, whether online or not. Starting at the very beginning is market research. Why have a company that produces something that nobody is looking for. Why not find a market - meaning a group of people who all have something in common; be it a need, or an interest, or perspective on something. If you identify that group, you have a market you can offer something to. ...

@Ed_Dale Ed! You’re crazy! You’re going 16:9?? I’m so jealous! Hey, what’s that checkmark that says “Also send@reply” hmm - I’ll try it. # Ok, gonna try this blogging thing again… http://tinyurl.com/66kzqe # Powered by Twitter Tools.

One of the “Unforgettable Five” for me is writing (the index finger in fact). So? I write a bunch! I comment on FriendFeed, I contribute to my team in Facebook. I send e-mails. I write in my Google Notebook. Isn’t that enough? Won’t that count for my 30DC Cross Training? It probably could and my conscience would be clear. However… Is it trackable? Is it testable? Not that easy. So I’ve decided that I’m going to post here as a record of my progress. Technically the challenge starts tomorrow, but since Ed leaked the first video (gasp!) I’ll start now too. ...

@Ed_Dale I am uploading my video!! It’s 11:53 local time. Hope it’s still “the end of the weekend.” I’ll send a link when I get one. # @CaroMcC I’m TRYING to upload my video too! I’m trying for that free year of the Edge :D # @Ed_Dale I couldn’t get YouTube to work, so I went to Revver. Video ID:1068983 It has to be approved by a human though. Gettin’ there. # IT WORKED!! #30dc video http://tinyurl.com/5ev7op uploaded to YouTube! I’m just stunned (and tired). # I learned that you can make your own custom tiny URL: http://tinyurl.com/WhatIs30dc Not extreme in shortness, but it isn’t gobbledy-gook. # @CaroMcC I had to go to bed (it was storming and I couldn’t get the video uploaded) worked this morning! http://tinyurl.com/WhatIs30dc # @Ed_Dale It was storming last night - so I tried again this morning, and it worked!

@AndrewNez Just wanted to remind you to check your ‘Dent’ PM’s and let me know about that component for User Access that you looked at. # @athomemom Chopin - he was a technical girly swot ;) # Tried to upload my son’s video “Laser Gun - The Video Game” but it’s too big - I’ll have to edit it for file size. # Looking for a web location for housing some information in preparation for #30dc Cross Training… I’m thinking I’ll use an unused domain. # ...

Thanks to ‘Google Reader’, I just wiped out a backlog of 700 or so items in under two days (I got a little crazy this morning!) # Powered by Twitter Tools.

I’m trying to set up Twitter so my Tweets will show up in the 30DC Cross Training room. This would be considered test number 1. # Powered by Twitter Tools.

I have been thinking about the idea of daily disciplines for some time. And I’ve even thought up a little handy todo list you can always take with you. Take the fingers on your hand. You always have them around as a reminder. So I thought about using my fingers as a way of reminding myself of things that I really wanted to accomplish each day. And you can use them as a guide to accomplishing these little tasks that need to be done to push you from the rut you find yourself in, to the path you want to be on. ...

I have had this blog since last year at the end of the 30DC III (2007). I learned how to use WordPress and since then this blog has basically been a personal “ToDo” list or place to just babble about musings and hopes and dreams. But this morning I committed to doing something different. I wrote a post to the Thirty Day Challenge Forum to start a different kind of team for this year’s challenge. You can see the original posted thread here. ...
