Jeni Meets With The Head Of Hictu
Jeni had a meeting with Hictu CEO Luca Filigheddu, check out one of his posts on having a proper business plan
It was a pretty good read, and I can see myself reading more of his blog, from what Jeni says, he’s a very smart guy, very business savvy. I like folks like that! Hictu is doing some pretty cool things, so it looks like something I will have to get involved in.
Listen to our most recent episode to hear the skinny on things, as well as other Joe and Jeni nonsense. We talk about a few other social networks, beta sites, and even the economy. Yeaaaaaaah, we got all official on the economy and stuff, you know you want it!
Don’t worry, it’s only a little portion, and since Jeni had some first hand experience with it, we had to speak on it. So pull up some coffee, a sammich, an ipod, zune, nomad, whatever you got and have a listen. Stream it, download it, tell your friends about it and enjoy the show. ( didn’t that sound official?)
Â
I Harassed Jeni Until She Gave Me Links, Here They Are:
http://www.woopra.com – Next gen analytics. Awesome and these guys are the ones that gave me your F’Google T-Shirt, Joe! I was more than happy to bring them Oreos as a thank you

http://www.socialmedian.com – Social Median rocks the online news world. Not only can you create your own news network based on topics of your choosing, but you can create your own feed of articles you have personally “clipped.” Jason Goldberg at Social Median has told me they are also in the process of creating widgets for these feeds. Very cool.

My name came up again on the Joe and Jeni show! I didn’t register TheJoeAndJeniShow, but I did register BoxOJeni.com!!
LOL@ “$100 in your inbox for no reason”! That was a funny blurb man.
CoComments sounds really cool. I could use that! Hoepfully it’s as good as it sounds.
I’m the same as you man, I don’t set up profiles everywhere cause there’s a new one to join like every 5 minutes and I don’t have time for that lol. I gotta talk to Jeni and find out the best way to condense all of this. lol
I’m surfing around looking for Cartman in Spanish right now. lol
Good stuff man
Cheers!
Jay

Do you really think that woopra can overtake google analytics? That is a big call

Hahaha, dude, you always be throwin me off with that lol “the blackest man around” I don’t know how to respond!
I don’t know if they can take over google or not, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a better option. Can the mac take over the pc? Probably not, but does that mean it’s inferior? NOPE.
Will firefox take over IE? Not as long as IE comes with windows! Does that make it inferior? NOPE
The take over isn’t as much of importance as the functionality and superiority. I haven’t tried it yet, when I do, I will review it.

Now that was just beautiful! Seriously funny video- can’t believe there really are sammiches out there!
I’m afraid I’m going to have to pay off more expo exhibitors in the future. I’ve got at least a dozen of the boys wanting their own Box-by-BrilliantJeni so I’m going to be at the next expo packing mad Oreos to exchange for F Google shirts!
@Ryan Once upon a time people said that about Google passing yahoo my friend
Not saying I know the definite future of Woopra but I advocate keeping an open mind and giving them props for even trying. So far Woopra is almost overly impressive- recommend all give it a try for sure!
@NormalJoe I know the sponsors for the glasses are on the side- and now I feel bad for not remembering so remind me who they were and let’s give them a “thanks for the raybans” shoutout!
@SuiteJ Big Head. I’m sending you a box of pineapple STAT.
If you want to limit your “new betas to try” for the time being, I would definitely suggest…
-coComment http://cocomment.com
-gooseGrade, http://goosegrade.com
-SodaHead http://sodahead.com
-HelloTxt http://hellotxt.com (I just got some hot tips from Fabrizio at HelloTxt following this podcast- will be sharing on brilliantjeni.com so stay tuned!)
-Swurl, (http://swurl.com) which was brought to my attention by Tim Buchalka of http://successontheinternet.com – a fellow Beta fanatic.
Swurl is AWESOME. Like FriendFeed but with DOFOLLOW links sent out across your social networks- YES! We all know BrilliantJeni is a DOFOLLOW advocate; BRING ON SEMANTIC WEB!

Hey Joe,
I just released my first eBook for sale. It is called “Make Money Commenting” and you can check it at http://www.smarterwealth.net/2008/10/make-money-commenting/
Would you do a review for me? I want to learn how to write better so I can improve…looking for some constuctive criticism

Whatup man! Yo, this comment is totally off topic, you should have emailed it to me or something as it has nothing to do with this post.
Plus we can all see it in your latest post via comment luv………I’ll let it ride this time though lol. Send me the book and I’ll check it out.
One suggestion, if you are promoting a book on using commenting to make money and get traffic, be more careful how you use your comments!

@Normal Joe – They don’t make hats big enough for SuiteJ’s BIG HEAD. Have to get him like a pillow case or such. Or maybe a giant santa hat that was made for a door decoration or something. What about that hat the giant Mickey Mouse wears at Disneyland? Do you suppose that comes off the costume? We’ll past, “F’ Google” right on the front- YES!
Maybe if I give SuiteJ a hat, I won’t have to be so worried about what he plans to put on “BoxOJeni.com” hmm…
Luvin’ the Luca visit! And have to share- shortly after this video, I received an email from Fabrizio with all sorts of “insider information” on the future of HelloTxt. Undoubtedly a result of Luca’s doing- thank you! Will be blogging that shortly…

@Freddie – I couldn’t listen to Joe’s video right away either. Must be the masses all downloading it at the same time; must be tough being popular Joe!
Freddie, no joke, shoot me your address and I’ll send you a shirt… especially now that I know you’ll be wearing it in a video! Whoooo hoooo!
Hey, if anyone is already using one of these betas and wants to share their thoughts, would love to hear them!

I don’t know who else picks up on this kinda thing, but you two sound exactly how you look, which is just too cool
Woopra – I dunno, I haven’t used it myself yet but I’m seeing more posts slanted towards the bad side then anything else…this is the first post in quite a while where someone actually liked it, much less compared it to beating other.
Then again, I don’t like Googles either. LOL
