If you’ve been following my tweets, you know that next week, we’re moving 2500 miles across the Pacific Ocean. Leaving behind the LOST Shores of North Oahu and heading for SoCal. Our business has gone through some incredible changes since we first dipped our toes in the warm Hawaiian waters 7 years ago.
We wrote the first book on new media marketing: Secrets of Online Persuasion.
I’ve co-authored the first book on Twitter: Twitter Revolution.
We’ve coached thousands of business owners, celebrities and online entrepreneurs with our Private Coaching Services.
Our company has created the push button BLOG i360 System which helps our members thrive in the new media marketplace & gets their online presence all over the net.
We’ve designed and delivered a course that’s bringing the sexy back to marketing: Tribal Seduction.
But now it’s time to say Aloha to our beach home on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii and jump back to the mainland and join civilization again!
Now it’s time to Celebrate! We’ve sold our place, packed up our offices, arranged to ship the essentials to southern California and are busy purging 7 years of happy history of island living. We’re excited about the move and enjoying the last 7 Hawaiian sun rises until the Big Day when we fly with dogs in cargo to San Diego for the next chapter in our lives!
Our last night in our home will be next Sunday. And while we’re a little sad to be saying goodbye to all the amazing friends we’ve made on this island, we’re also psyched about the change and have come up with a way for you to celebrate with our raving fans who’ve supported us along the way.
SAVE THE DATE!
ON: Thursday, May 28th / Friday, May 29th (in Australia)
AT: 7pm ET US / 10am NSW / 9am QLD / 4pm PT / 1pm HI

We say that people in Stage 1 wonder what all the fuss is about the trivial posts on Twitter.
Someone once said: Change is inevitable. Any savvy online entrepreneur who wants to remain at the forefront understands that change requires surfing the bleeding edge of technology.
So the question in our minds must always be: “What’s on the horizon and how can I use that to get ahead of my competitors today?”
Thirty years ago, there was no internet. Five years ago YouTube was still just a dream. If you watched Biz Stone and Evan Williams on The View this morning, you’ll know that three years ago, Twitter didn’t tweet.
Today, we literally don’t have to leave our computers to book a flight, pay a bill, shop or even connect with a tribe of like minded individuals.
The Internet, YouTube and Twitter are part of our daily lives.
No one could predict the impact each development would have. In fact Bill Gates famously admitted:
“Sometimes we do get taken by surprise. For example, when the Internet came along, we had it as a fifth or sixth priority. It wasn’t like somebody told me about it and I said, ‘I don’t know how to spell that.’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ve got that on my list, so I’m okay.’ But there came a point when we realized it was happening faster and was a much deeper phenomenon than had been recognized in our strategy.”
Don’t get taken by surprise!

If you’re not a member of this Tribal Seduction Tribe, you may have missed the LIVE show Coach Deb was on this week talking about Twitter and the controversial debates in the Twittosphere. But you can catch the first 30 minutes of the show right here:
I don’t remember what life was like before Twitter but I’m starting to think about what life could be like after Twitter is gone. (Gasp! Did I just say that?! Twitter = Gone? Really?)
Now that Twitter has entered the mainstream, does it change the Twittersphere? Is it possible to engage when you have a million PLUS followers?
You betcha! As long as you focus on reaching people and engaging them with RELEVANT information, ENGAGING content or ENTERTAINING broadcasts.
Now that so many tweeters are using auto-follow robots to increase their followers on Twitter by 1,000 - 2,000 a day, is anyone really listening anymore? Has Twitter reached the tipping point of being irrelevant?
Should Twitter remove the follower count from profiles? These are the debates raging in the Twittersphere these days - ever since Ashton Kutcher and Evan Williams introduced Oprah to Twitter on her show.
One of the questions I’m asked most often is how to increase followers? But if you focus only on building your followers… your tweeps… you’re ignoring one of the key questions you should be asking yourself: where will I be if Twitter shuts down tomorrow?
Join me this Thursday for a special Ustream LIVE broadcast where I’ll my secrets for growing your list and attracting powerful influencers so you’ll know what to do when the Death of Twitter comes.

Christian Science Monitor is one of the many news pieces quoting “authorities” on what Twitter means to the business now that @Oprah has “blessed it”.
People are under the impression that they are talking to the world when trying to market themselves on social networking sites, she says. “But they are only talking to a small niche,” she says.Twitter does have a lot of users. In fact, it saw a 131 percent rise in unique users in March alone, according to Internet research company comScore Inc. Capturing the bulk of those users, however, can be a challenge. Oprah and Mr. Kutcher can do it. But few have their brand power.
“The thing they have that everybody wants is eyeballs, but how do you monitize eyeballs?” says Ms. Quint, “Google has found a way to do it.”’
But can Twitter?
It’s NOT about eyeballs Ms Quint.. Twitter lets us connect to each other and bypass you and the media.
I’m watching the stream on the celebrity battles to get millions of followers. That’s all good and fun for all of us.
But let’s keep it real and not get taken in on rumors like
Oprah is announcing today that she is buying Twitter
Twitter will have a fail whale for 3 days when Oprah starts Tweeting
Oprah’s show today is timed to disrupt #FollowFriday
Twitter has bots that will set realistic looking Tweets from Oprah to anyone that follows her
These rumors are not true. I hope you will join me in denying these rumors as often as possible on Twitter today.
Your blog trackbacks and comments here will help us spread the news that Oprah is not bad news for Twitter

I’ve been using Facebook for longer than Twitter, and always suggest that clients have a profile there.
In fact, last I heard, Facebook grows at by more users per week than the total Twitterverse. I don’t think it’s going away.
So why are they trying so hard to be more Twitter-like?

Public safety officials are starting to rely on Twitter to find out what is going on.
CNN admits that it’s faster than waiting for the news
Police and fire departments are using Twitter
“We think the police department has an obligation to get information out to the community through whatever means or mechanisms we have at our disposal,” said Lakeland Police Assistant Chief Bill LePere. “Traditional media releases, expecting the local print media to pick it up and run it in the newspaper tomorrow, is 24 hours too late.”

Here’s a great explanation of Twitter, how it has evolved, and where we are right now from @ev, founder of Twitter.
