From time to time, I am getting inquiries from the website. Customer inquires about our product and services via the contact form. When asked, where they found our website? Most answered they stumbled on our website via popular search engine such as Google, Yahoo or MSN. And, some customers answered they found website from a certain online directory.

Thus, I came to realize that some customers would rather go into an online directory and browse specific business category to look a company that offer product/services they are looking for. In other words, some customer still prefers the traditional yellow pages way of looking for suppliers. Only this time instead of those big yellow pages or directory, they are now scanning or browsing online business directories.

Now, have you enlist your business website to online directory? If not, I really suggest that you do. This will surely help in generating incoming traffic to your company website. There are a lot of online business directory. So, it’s better to choose a reputable one or it’s a wasted effort. Well, one website that you might want to have your business enlisted is at the Asian Business Directory. This is a good start if you’re targeting the Asian Markets.

I am amazed at how I was able to keep in touch with my long high school and college friends via Friendster. Imagine I have no contact numbers or whatsoever with them but I found them at Friendster. All I did was just type in their name at Friendster search box then viola, found most of them. As for the other people, I was able to get in touch with them by browsing the network of my friends.

After Friendster, there’s a lot of social networking sites e.g. multiply.com, facebook.com, linkedin.com and so much more. In fact, I tried to keep up by creating account with the several social networking sites to no avail I still prefer Friendster as most of my friends are already there.

I heard Friendster initially was for a dating site. But, the founders re-modeled the business of Friendster by making it the way it was now.

I am grateful to Friendster that up till now I was able to keep in touch with my friends. Hmm, I’d like to add that I found not only my friends at Friendster, but I was able to network with my cousins who are all over the world. It was indeed fun and sticky.

Oh my, last Thursday, during the Makati Standoff, I was amazed at how one member of a yahoogroup posted a blow by blow account of what’s happening.

I replied and said thanks for keeping us update. And, I am glad that the stock market was immune to the “standoff” Though, the market should have ended higher after US FED announced to cut rates furthers. Unfortunately, the market went up to 100pts but ended up 41pts.

Then, Ms. Marou Sarne, the one who posted, replied if I am working at PSE. Well, I said no, but I am curious to which program she said she was hosting.

She pointed me to this site, http://www.aliw.com.ph/dwiz. Oh my, it was online radio streaming…. via eradioportal.com. High Tech. Uhmm, okay some of you knows about this way ahead of me. Anyway, I was just thrilled with my discovery. Sure, lot of new things popping up the internet and I need to catch up!
