Don't have G+ yet. However, I just don't know why they do this every time, where they have restrict number of users to create a hype then it turns into a disappointment like wave. I have heard a few people complain that there are not many people on there that they know.

Hi Steve, no Wibya is firstly expensive, and secondly it's not doing what I need it to do. I also tried the free one.

Thanks Steve.

Can anyone recommend a social toolbar that can be customised to have different announcements or promotions on different pages. Please suggest something other than Wibya and something that works well with Word Press. Thank you.

That is shocking. I don't think most people realise how much it costs.

Thanks. That's very interesting. I never realised it was that bad. Maybe I was being naive. Must be thankful.

...the value of links from a forum is a bonus. I often go to a number of forums to get feedback, second opinion, and learn a few things.

Never looked at it that way. However, I personally always thought Bing was and is pretty good. I realise that not everyone likes it. Bing and FB, now that could be something.

By the way Google Plus is not available to the general public yet. I don't know why they do that...similar story with Wave.

Steve, I think this is good...I think the whole search market needs a bit of a competition. Competition keeps people on their toes. Everyone knows facebook is slowly becoming a search engine. So a tie up with Microsoft makes sense...since MS are struggling to compete with Google on search.

So let me get this right...with Interspire Email Marketer it you are using your mail server to send or theirs? Also, from what I understand from your reply, you can put a different from address, right, so your domain or email account does not need to be associated at all.

Has anyone used Mail Chimp? Who is familiar with email marketing rules.

If I bought a list from a reputable source say like Experian (the credit reference agency) and people had opted in for something, then as far as I know I could send a mailer out to them. Does anyone know different?

Secondly, using something like Mail Chimp, is there any chance that your email address or domain could appear as spammer. I have noticed when you send an email out from Mail Chimp the from address comes as something like:
info=scootek.co.uk@mail18.uk1.mcsv.co.uk on behalf of; Scootek Test <info@scootek.co.uk> so when you reply to the email address it goes to you.

I am testing out Mail Chimp for the first time. So any feedback is welcome.
