Is your favorite news outlet Tweeting you?
I'm not really as silly as the photo suggests. *Hush up you who know different.*
But I think the explosion of local media outlets trying to get hip - and potential hype - by signing themselves up on Twitter is pretty silly.
In fact - gulp - I kind of think the whole "Let's-adopt-social-networking-as-a-potential-new-business-model because-it-seems-to-be-all-the-rage ... not-to-mention-getting-a-whole-boatload-of-bucks-right-now" IS downright laughable.
It may sound a lot like the pot calling the kettle black, here, seeing as how my personal blog is getting some linky love from the Home Office ... but really, I don't see how moves like this will save the industry.
I've been blogging for about five years now and I've made a total of $80 (although the people at Google haven't sent me that check yet ... so really I shouldn't count those eggs until they're hatched). My guess is there's no gold at the end of this rainbow.

I have heard the google ads do not pay well and to interest the mainstream advertisers one needs about 100,000 hits a day.
Has the Internet helped you draw any clients from your photography site?
Later, Kcoz
I have to admit advertising isn't a priority for me; I have a couple of passive ads on the site and it's been a kind of past-time for me to see them grow by the penny,
I don't even monitor the photography site, but I haven't gotten any new jobs ... Photographers like me around here ... are a dime a dozen.
