THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

"Most people don't want to do the hard; that's why it's so easy to be successful. There's no competition! 
Remember short-term pain will equal long term gain and vice versa. It's the hard that makes you great. 
It's the willingness to do the hard that separates you from your competition, because most of them are 
only willing to do the easy. Unfortunately, in the long run, the easy always turns out to be the hard. "

WELCOME FROM QUENTIN and the STAFF of Sound Bites & IM Training

Welcome to another issue of Sound Bites by Quentin Brown As I was driving home today from a meeting I was listening to a science program on the radio. It was about how three monkeys in a room and how they had also placed a bunch of bananas at the top of a pole in the room. On this pole close to the top was a sprinkler and every time the monkeys climbed up the pole and reached for the bananas the sprinkler would spray them with a cold jet of water. Over a period of time the monkeys simply gave up trying to get the bananas. They then took one of the monkeys out of the room and introduced a novice who had not been trained. They also turned off the jet so they could now reach the bananas. When the novice went to climb the pole the other two trained monkeys pulled the novice down. After a while they then took out another of the experienced monkeys and introduced another novice. The same thing happened. Finally they took the only remaining trained monkey out of the room which left three novices. Can you work out what happened? Not one of these three new monkeys reached the bananas, or even tried, even though none of them had actually experienced the jet of cold water. They just followed along with what the other more experienced monkeys had advised them to do. In our own personal and business lives we can have the same experience. Many of us may be unwilling to try something because we have been trained by others to fail. This is especially so in Internet marketing. Become willing to step out and have a go! You never know what is possible. Just like those other monkeys. That jet of cold water had been turned off, so they would not have even got wet. What you want may be a lot easier for you to achieve than it was for others. This is my life! Quentin Coaching for Success My Web Site Manual PS.

COACHING - Graphics

Hello and welcome to this weeks coaching. A special welcome to all our new members.

This month we look at Social Bookmarking.

Inserting graphics on your web pages is an exciting and unique way to distinguish your page from other sites and set the tone for what you want to present. The mix between text and graphics can be a difficult decision and I believe it is a personal preference. The best way to determine this mix is through trial and error. Too many and your page will load slowly. To few and you may not have enough interest to hold your visitors.

History

The concept of shared online bookmarking dates back to April 1996 with the launch of itList.com. Within the next three years online bookmark services became competitive, with venture-backed companies like Backflip, Blink, Clip2, Hotlinks, Quiver, and others entering the market. Lacking viable models for making money, most of this early generation of social bookmarking companies failed as the dot-com bubble burst. The contemporary concepts of social bookmarking and tagging took root with the launch of the web site del.icio.us, in September of 2003.

Functional Overview

In a Social bookmarking system, users store lists of Internet resources, which they find useful. Often, these lists are publicly accessible, and other people with similar interests can view the links by category, tags, or even randomly. Some social bookmarking systems allow for privacy on a per-bookmark basis.

They also categorize their resources by the use of informally assigned, user-defined keywords or tags (see folksonomy). Most social bookmarking services allow users to search for bookmarks which are associated with given "tags", and rank the resources by the number of users which have bookmarked them. Many social bookmarking services also have implemented algorithms to draw inferences from the tag keywords that are assigned to resources by examining the clustering of particular keywords, and the relation of keywords to one another.

Advantages

This system has several advantages over traditional automated resource location and classification software, such as search engine spiders. All tag-based classification of Internet resources (such as web sites) is done by human beings, who understand the content
