Great presentation yesterday on SEO from Lawrence Coburn the CEO of RateItAll. I really enjoyed this presentation. A few small things can get you 80% there with SEO. Lawrence did a great job focusing on those essentials.
Hollrr blog
Okay Twitter... let's bring it on.
So I had one of those heart stopping moments today when I read the Mashable and NYTimes article on Twitter’s new business plan. It sounds suspiciously like Hollrr…. a vastly inferior Hollrr, but following along in our general foot steps none the less.
But then I thought about it a little more and felt a lot better…
Twitter can never achieve our vision. Hollrr is about the little guy… its about rooting for that awesome new product that none of your friends know about yet. Its about getting giddy on finding a really cool new product…. or discovering that someone already makes a solution for that problem thats being really bugging you the last couple of weeks. Its about finding that perfect birthday present for your mum.
Hollrr is about building community. Its about connecting Tribes of people who are passionate about small companies and products. Its about connecting those Tribes with the Entrepreneur behind those products. Its about recognizing Mavens who are great at spotting awesome new products.
Maybe we’ll never be as big as Twitter… .but that’s okay. We’re content to be part of a Tribe that really gets behind evangelizing a new product…. and we are delighted to support all the wonderful drive and creativity of Entrepreneurs out there looking to bring their new business to market.
Twitter.. we’re delighted you’ve found a new business model (you’re an awesome service!)…. but when it comes to finding and discovering new products. We’ll have you beat.
