Once again Gary Vaynerchuk is RIGHT!
Check this viral video out. It’s unbelievable.

Google’s Analytics team has put together a great video to help people fully understand the power of their analytics program. It’s worth checking out. I’d like to hear what you think and how you use analytics for your Website. Post them below.
A must watch from Gary Vaynerchuk. He makes some very good points about leveraging your brand on the Internet and how if a company isn’t they need to be.
Recently Google screwed up. The search giant found a bug that shared unshared documents in Google’s famed Google Docs with others. According to their figures only affected 0.05% of users, the the implications are huge for the idea of putting everything in the cloud.
Dear Google Docs user,
We wanted to let you know about a recent issue with your Google Docs account. Weve identified and fixed a bug which may have caused you to share some of your documents without your knowledge. This inadvertent sharing was limited to people with whom you, or a collaborator with sharing rights, had previously shared a document. The issue only occurred if you, or a collaborator with sharing rights, selected multiple documents and presentations from the documents list and changed the sharing permissions. This issue affected documents and presentations, but not spreadsheets.
To help remedy this issue, we have used an automated process to remove collaborators and viewers from the documents that we identified as being affected. Since the impacted documents are now accessible only to you, you will need to re-share the documents manually. For your reference, weve listed below the documents identified as being affected.
We apologize for the inconvenience that this issue may have caused. We want to assure you that we are treating this issue with the highest priority.
The Google Docs Team
Granted there is an inherent risk to putting your documents online, but a snafu like this could have cost companies using the Google “operating system” tons of money.
The draw to using the Cloud for computing is simple. You can access your documents and files from anywhere in a “secure maner.” Now Google says it’s fixed the problem, but should we trust that it won’t happen again? I’m not so sure.
What are your thoughts. Post them in the comments.
Gary Vaynerchuk had another great video posted today about how a hip/swanky hotel’s brand was damaged because of a decision they made. Never under-estimate the power of social media. Check Gary out on Twitter at @garyvee
I was in Miami last night and we had a little run-in with the hotel, which led to some tweets about the situation, which led to a person changing their mind about using the hotel. Watch as Dave Morin and Josh Elman of Facebook and David Recordon of 6 apart tell the story.
“Every Touch Matters”
Gary Vaynerchuk has a great video about following your passion and not a buck. He talks about how those who are passionate but not as talented as those who are just out for a buck in an industry will still do better because they will put in more effort and in the long run do better. Gary does a better job of explaining. I’d like to hear your POV. Post your comments below:
Dear Readers,
Apparently, sethgoldstein.net has been linking to another site about a woman Wanda Spann’s advocacy site. Now I have no idea how this is happening and I’ve been getting almost daily calls from a nice lady involved with the group trying to figure out how my site is linking to theirs. I’ve told her everytime that there is no link from my site to theirs and that there is a bug in their site or it’s just a matter of link juice some how being passed over to them. Apparently the higher-ups in the organization are a bit ticked (for reasons I still have yet to figure out) and are demanding that this nice woman call me to figure this out. Now like I’ve told her, I have nothing to do with those links going to her site. I’ve never linked to her site before. But in the interest of sending so link juice to a good cause, I’m sending a link to them now. Please if you get a chance check out the site about Justice for Wanda Spann and form your own opinions about their site.
As of right now, I’m beyond perplexed and I’d be happy if this all just disappeared. Honestly I have no idea how it all started in the first place.
Thanks for listening.
