Google Alerts and an Ever-evolving Website: Two Ships that Pass in the Night???

I've been following about a dozen items with Google Alerts over the past months, and I'm amazed at one thing...No matter how many times a month (at least 4, actually) The National Networker website is updated with original, first-run social networking articles from around the country, Canada and South East Asia Google seems to miss us. It's almost as though the hundreds and hundreds of content-rich business and social networking articles we've published have created an immunity with Google, while most articles in blogs are snared in the net.

It's a shame really. We've always tried to keep The National Networker website as THE publication and it's TNNW Blog as an way of informally corresponding with our readers, writers and those who would just like to be heard regarding their views on social networks.

So for those of you that say, "hey, I get the newsletter already and have seen those articles", Sorry. While the blog will still contain a slew of articles caught in the Google Alert net, please remember to visit the actual writers of those articles, you'll also be seeing a rehash of what's happening at the main website. It's not that we like to be redundant, anybody that know me well knows it's something for which I have little patience.

That said, web 2.0 means that good old-fashioned networking works best with a heavy smattering of technology, and vice-versa. As ever, TNNW welcomes your comments, questions and material that you would like to share in the areas of business networking, social networking, and relationship networking. That just about sums up all of existence, doesn't it?

Feel free to visit me at my MySpace blog.

Thank you for stopping by.
