(hubze.com) Everyone is going on and on about the possibility that Facebook COULD be making an announcement on February 29th that Timeline is coming to pages. It's all speculation at this point and to guess as to what the Timeline for pages MIGHT look like is a bit of a waste of time in my opinion. Once a change is made then we'll go from there. Bu...

Twitter , however, still has tons of ground to cover, and that is exactly what is happening. In analysis of Twopcharts data, AllTwitter announced ...

(hubze.com) Hey Hubzers! The past 3 days I've been in Austin, Tx at an internet marketing event called the "Leverage Summit", put on by the guys at Job Crusher.
Now let me be completely upfront and honest here. I have NEVER gone to any sort of internet marketing conference, convention, pep rally, training, event and etc. I'm just not a live event guy. and honestly I don't have the money to go to them so that's probably my leading reason for not going. Most are just too expensive to go and my family of 5 lives on peanuts so I can't afford to go to them plus hotel and food is costly as well.
But, I got a free ticket to this event in Austin, which is about a 3.5 hour drive from our house outside of Houston. So we decided to drive up. Plus, my wife's parents live in a little town called Granger, Tx so we stayed with them so I didn't have to pay for a hotel. Granted this meant getting up at 6am each day and driving about 90 minutes one way to get to the event. But better than forking out the $150+ per night for a hotel! So my wife and kids stayed with them while I was/am at the event.
Listen to the podcast and then I'll add some commentary below. (Do note that I recorded this podcast on my iPhone using the Spreaker app so the quality is what it is and you'll hear the Spreaker intro.)
Ok... So my opinion going into this event wasn't that high. I don't know any of the marketers mentioned on stage (Bill McIntosh, Matt Gill, Matt Bacak, Jack Wize, David Frey, Devon Brown, Keith Baxter, Devon Michaels, Eric Louviere (sp?) and others). I do know Kate Buck, Jr via Facebook as we talk alot about social media.
But, other than that I don't know these people from Adam! So my expectations were very low for the event. I expected it to be nothing but a big sales pitch and on Day 2 they didn't fail me!
Day 3 is about to start and I have no idea how long it is set to be. They didn't give out any sort of schedule for the weekend. Everything was pretty vague even leading up to the start of the event. And I'm a control freak so not knowing the schedule is driving me nuts!
We'll see how today goes and I'll share my thoughts on it and events like this tomorrow. Have a great Sunday!
