Just a quick note to all readers: I’m currently on a bit of a vacation, and will be back to blogging next Tuesday.

So, I’ll soon be on the prowl for some decent quality but reasonably priced promotional business items. I think at year end I’ll send each of my clients some sort of “thank you” package for their business, I just need to find something cool to send. Looking at S&L Promotional Group’s website is giving me ideas, I have to admit I’m pretty excited!

Originally I thought of just handing out the standard stuff, like pens or mouse pads. I had even considered getting some t shirt printing done, but then I realized that 1) I don’t have a cool enough logo to warrant a t shirt, and 2) no one would wear my t shirts anyways!

So, I guess I’ll just look for some other form of funky business promotional item. I would really like to get something stylish, that’s used regularly, and wouldn’t just be thrown into a desk (like a pen might). I would even consider getting some coasters, but that’s a tough bet, because you’re presuming on people’s tastes, and the style of their home or office, because the coaster would have to match if they were to use them. I guess if I’d like something to be really effective at leaving an impression, and stylish, and expect it to be kept, then I’d have to go with some of their ‘Executive Items’. They have one massive catalog though, so this is going to take me a while to go through!

Nielsen/Netratings compiled a list of most visited newspaper web sites. Interesting.

On Mashable blog you can read an interesting article titled Why Zuckerberg WonÂ’t Accept Just $1 Billion from Yahoo

Can we expect that the next big deal, after GooTube be the sale of Facebook? It is very likely that Facebook will be sold. However, the question is whether the price will be higher than YouTube deal. In case you don’t know, one of the YouTube founders was working at Facebook before he quit and launched YouTube.
