Twitter is so yesterday!

Even though Tweetdeck and 12seconds have long been cozy bed mates, today marks a new level of commitment; Twitter’s most popular desktop client and its online video clone are now making 12second babies.

12seconds is announcing that Tweetdeck now supports their new authoring API

application heaven.

Tweetdeck Now Includes 12seconds Video Recording

10 Reasons Your Small Business Should Have a Blog

This posting sums it up perfectly (follow the link below)

One of the first questions I get from my clients is “what type of website should I have?” The answer is, “it depends,” but for virtually all websites, getting people to your site and engaging them on some level is of primary importance.
