Social Media Edge Radio In mid-summer Ken Cook decided to share with his Twitter friends some of the tips and techniques he was learning by using the service. He would review news and technical releases and try new tools then talk about them on a podcast. Those first shows were a true "podcast" recorded in his office then uploaded to a server and he invited others to listen. Back on August 18th 2009 Ken learned about Blog Talk Radio and decided to give it a try. Those first few painful shows were fifteen minutes long and called Twitter Tuesday. They were broadcast live from Noon to 12:15 on Tuesdays usually to an empty chat room and a live audience of 3 or 4 listeners. In December that year Jason Crouch joined as co-host of Social Media Edge Radio and the audience continued to grow. Mike Mueller joined in late winter of 2010 and Jeremy Blanton joined in Spring of 2010. We've had many, many wonderful guests and you can see them all at http://socialmediaedge.com/past-guests/ thanks to Mike Mueller's diligen

Today we're talking about WordPress, hacked sites and social media news. WordPress site been hacked?

So you find someone interesting whom you follow on Twitter. ALmost immediately you receive an automated DM (Direct Message) which reads; "NABMarketing uses TrueTwit validation service. To validate click here: http://truetwit.com/vy172772717 " From all appearances the user doesn't even know you've followed them UNTIL you've validated yourself. So you click the link and find a somewhat mysterious form and text - and I challenge any reader who isn't already familiar with the service to tell me what you're doing on that "validation page". Join us LIVE with your questions and comments - get in the chat room - when Go True Twit joins us to explain, convince and convert - because we're not supporters.   Host - Ken Cook @TheKenCook - Blog - Website Co-Host - Mike Mueller @MikeMueller - Blog Co-Host - Jeremy Blanton @JB140 - Blog Co-Host -  Lisa Oden @LAOden - Blog

  Paul Berry is one of those guys I always want to get to hang out with but it's unlikely we get the chance unless we end up on the same team somewhere. His history in development and positioning is not too unlike mine. Odd since I apparently am old and he much younger.   In 1995 Paul was Project Manager/Developer at Know-ware consulting for companies such as DeutscheBanc and Morgan Stanley. Honing his skills there he soon moved on to Palo Alto Software ... read more   Entering the new millennium moved Paul to Related Capital as VP, Charter Mac as CTO and the Huffington Post as CTO and currently he serves on the Digital Advisory Board for American Express's Open and as founder at SoHo Tech Lab. But what we want to talk with Paul about today is his current status as founder and CEO at RebelMouse.   I'm not going to tell you about RebelMouse here. But I will tell you, like everything else, it may take you a few minutes to "get it". I'm "getting it" and I'm pretty sure you will, too. The best news is we have TH

    We always talk about theory and what if. Today we’re talking about theory, what if and do this! Do this means making money with your Pinterest photos. Of course there are thousands of ideas to be explored but we’re going to talk about one, ready to go, out-of-the box and super easy way to start making money from your Instagram photos … today. In fact by the end of the show you should be up and running.   The cost? Oh, it’s free. You just get paid. You don’t even have to download or upload anything.

This will include changes to your email address, changes in the way you interact with Facebook and how to turn your options checkboxes on again (if yours are off). Come on in, we’ll walk you through it.  Hangout With Us on Google Plus LIVE   And don’t forget to hang out with us on Google Plus. Jeremy, Mike, Lisa and I are going to be hanging out on Google Plus during the show so listen on Blog Talk Rad

If anyone guarantees results they're lying. They can guarantee your money back or something else if you don't get results but they cannot guarantee results when it comes to social media marketing - too many variables! In today's show the crew will be discussing - and presenting - social media techniques which have resulted in results. As for the rest of the crew I do not know what they will be saying but I (Ken) will be presenting a technique I have used for years and for one client alone it has generated over 5,000 leads in less than ten years.   Host - Ken Cook @TheKenCook - Blog - Website Co-Host - Mike Mueller @MikeMueller - Blog Co-Host - Jeremy Blanton @JB140 - Blog Co-Host -  Lisa Oden @LAOden - Blog

How do you know your “provider” is presenting everything you need and not limiting you to just their skill set? How can you know when you’re being over-sold?

Website Security Whether you use WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Google Sites, hard coded HTML or others especially if your site is driven by a database you may be wide open for malicious access.

Find out how to tell if you are in danger, have been comprimised and how to prevent it or clean it up.   Host - Ken Cook @TheKenCook - Blog - Website Co-Host - Mike Mueller @MikeMueller - Blog Co-Host - Jeremy Blanton @JB140 - Blog Co-Host -  Lisa Oden @LAOden - Blog
