Check Out Jaxtr

There's a very interesting new service in beta from a company called Jaxtr. It allows you to link your phone to pages in your social networks, your email signature, your blog etc. so that anyone worldwide can call you with just a click of the mouse. Your phone number is kept private, and you don't need to download or install any client software.

This gives you the ability to have a "virtual" phone number that you can link to your existing phone numbers or future phone numbers when they change. Should be quite interesting if they can pull it off and provide an excellent user experience.

Plogs--Blogging Meets Smart Marketing

Do you have a blog? Do you have the hottest blogs on your watch list?

Well, it's time to step up to the next level...plogs!

I came upon plogs on Amazon's web site. A plog is a marriage of "blog" and "personalized marketing content".

For Amazon this means you see items that are likely to have high relevance for you, based on your browsing and purchase behavior. As the site states, "Posts in your plog come from many sources, including authors of books you have purchased on Amazon.com. In the future, your plog also will help you discover products that have just been released, track changes to your orders and much more."

You will see your plog when you access Amazon's site with your own sign in. Generic info can be seen at:

I can only imagine how the the next wave ofconsumer oriented "plogs" will play out.
For me, I look forward to my Nordstrom shoe plog!
