iPhone step aside! My pocket is reserved for my Verizon Droid, coming in tomorrow via FedEx. Today we talk about smart phones, how we use them to keep our businesses running remotely, a major Google Friend Connect update, Google’s “social experiment,” Gwave, and Google Dashboard.
Links From Today’s Show…
- Twitter is releasing its retweet tool. This is a VERY good thing as it helps you see who is retweeting you and who you (should be) following up with for lead gen purposes. Make sense? Screenshot
- Twitter Lists: People are starting to post links to Lists one should follow http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/best_twitter_lists.php (Will this start a trend where Twitterers ask other Twitterers to add me to your list the same way Bloggers asked other bloggers to add me to your blogroll?) I also think this is good for lead gen as well. If someone adds you to a list, then they really, really have an interest in you.
- Google reveals how much they know about you with the Google Dashboard feature. If you are concerned about your privacy on Google, take a peek at:http://mashable.com/2009/11/05/google-privacy-dashboard/

After reading the Mashable piece on Google Dashboard and looking at the stats and digits mother Google includes on my profile, I am not so sure the topline report is as complete as it should be? IOW, I suspect there’s more behind the curtain than is being presented on the Dashboard I viewed or is there a trick to drill down further to reveal what info (personal & otherwise) that has been captured and stored by Google?
