A nifty little online shopping tool. Save time. Save money. Free download.

Here's an awesome online shopping comparison tool to help you get the best deals from many retail sites such as eBay, Amazon.com, Walmart & Target with just ONE browser search. It's called "My Shopping Genie" and it's been featured on CNN. Take a look at the website and then you can download the free software in just minutes.

From a marketing perspective, the company has given businesses (or anyone with a personal brand) the opportunity to use this tool to generate awareness and clicks. If you ever decided to sign up as an affiliate, which can be a business expense, you would be able to change the My Shopping Genie logo in the task bar to your own logo and even add a link. That way, every time someone who has downloaded the software searches for a product using their browser, your company's logo shows up on the task bar. A very nice way to remind people of your brand. And you can use the free software in appreciation of your client's or prospect's time and/or business. Excellent gift for new business prospects.

The software download is free and gives people the ability to quickly find the best prices available online. So the next time you're in the market for a birthday or holiday gift, or when you're wanting the next new gadget for yourself, use My Shopping Genie to help you quickly save both time and money.

Very interesting and timely article about how sales of environmentally-friendly products are doing well by major retailers. Greenbiz.com looks like a great site for bottom-line business news on all things green. You may be interested in subscribing to their monthly GreenBuzz e-newsletter.

On a related note, there's a relatively new shopping discount and affiliate program called Shop-to-Earth. You can find more information at my affiliate site here.

Welcome to HootSuite, the ultimate Twitter toolbox -...

Welcome to HootSuite, the ultimate Twitter toolbox -...

Especially made for those who are managing personal and business Twitter accounts, have multiple accounts for different businesses or who manage multiple accounts for their clients or within their own company, HootSuite solves the problem of having to log-in and log-off of various Twitter accounts. You can now simply manage all accounts - and just about all aspects of Twitter -- from one dashboard. Tweetdeck is great if you are managing just one account but it didn't work well for me. HootSuite also gives you the ability to have one administrator but allows you to assign additional editors/writers.

Take a look at the Hootlet, too. Great toolbar app so you can easily tweet about a web page you're visiting - and you can do it from any one of the accounts you're managing in one simple step.

There's only one thing that I've not been able to figure out yet -- and that is how to initiate a direct message (DM) to someone who hasn't DM'd me. Also, I don't think it manages auto-replies and that would be a nice feature as I do DR copy testing for some clients and eliminate the auto-replies for others. The good news is that it seems like new features are continually being added so HootSuite will get even better in the months ahead. HootSuite is being used by larger companies such as National Geographic and active Tweeters like Guy Kawasaki. Check it out and let me know what you think. Would love to hear your feedback on the user interface.

I love this new button and the sharing application from SocialTwist. It's a free service but if you want to customize the sharing menu to your brand, you can do that for a nominal fee. Variations of the buttons exist to match your website or brand colors. SocialTwist has included so many ways for people to share your webpage that this one button does it all. Highly recommend it for use on your site or blog. Use it on your webpage or beneath each blog post. Check it out!
