Letting people follow and participate in your business online through sites like Twitter [...]

You’re A Spammer! That’s what MySpace wants your friends to think. Update to the update:  Short URLS are now spam again. Sorry folks..

A few insiders know that I’m about to launch a couple of members-only websites.  In fact the sites are quite late.  I should have had them done a few months ago.  However, there’s quite a learning curve when you’re testing out several membership software packages.
