Britney doesn’t need a web marketer

Bill Gates once said ‘Content is King’ in the Internet world - guess this is especially true when you yourself are the *content*.

Hanging around without underwear, alcohol (and probably drugs) addicted, freaking bald head - U.S. celebrity Britney Spears might not be the best role model for your daughter; but you cannot deny she’s a worldwide buzz that you just can’t ignore.

As soon as her confession was released on her official website www.BritneySpears.com, media from all corners started to report about her news and latest movement including Yahoo! and CNN.

Britney Spears website Alexa traffics

By just releasing a personal letter open to the public (that probably is written by her PR agent), the website traffics rock up top for the past two days. from Alexa, we can see the traffic rank of the website jumped from 21,258 up to 9,273. heck, that’s more than 100% jump in the traffics volume with little work done.

Internet marketer? why does she need one?

Now imagine Britney do adsense; imagine Britney start up a fashion brand and sell it online; Britney runs an active forum to interacts with her fans; Britney sets up ebay auctons on her gaun; Britney run a series of YouTube-kind-of video clips on her daily life to set up straight on her public image; Britney release a sneak preview everytime before she launch her new album; Britney go against war in Iraq publicly on her website; Britney release newsletter telling stories in Africa and ask for donation for UNICEF… because you are the ‘content’ the crowd looking for, you gain more chances ever than others to be success, to be an icon (or Britney already is?), to own a successful business, to changed people’s life, to do something good to the human kind, to help those who needed…

Aren’t those better things to be done besides shaving your head bald?


I am done with IE7!

Different from most geeks, i like microsoft, i enjoy using IE, i enjoy using microsoft’s office tools as well as their mail agents. i am totally comfortable (and remain efficient) with microsoft-style working environment.

However, i am done with Internet Explorer 7. i had enough! i like those enhancements with IE7 (most mimic from firefox though) that makes the browser more user friendly. without doubt graphics and fonts (it is!) look prettier on IE7, the tab functions help me to work quicker, the one click web zooming helps a lot, and the little favicon on the bookmark list is cute to have. but hey, cute doesn’t makes enough. i am having hard time with IE7 bugs and the fact that IE7 eats up so much of my PC memory when it’s opened for some times. I cant add categories in wordpress when i am using IE7, everyday i surfer at least one hang session with IE7, and the last time will be this one.

IE7 sucks
See! it hang again, this is the third times today! all my work on web goes to the dusbin and i gotta restart. hey uncle bill, can you recycle that for me?

Not responding? so am i.

Ah Yap is going to humiliate me on this coz he’s been using Fire Fox for years and i refused to switch but i dont care, i dont want any not responding session and all my work on web just blew away like that again.

Unless microsoft is going to come up with a more steady web browser or pay me $5 everytime the IE hangs, i am going to have my new affairs with firefox. if you are having the same pain as i had? switch today and dont let microsfot bugs to hurt your work again! With FireFox, the web goes faster, web browser hardly hang, i got tons of useful plugins, and i can work smoothly on wordpress now!

To wrap this post in just one line…


Fullstop.
