  Boys Like Girls DVD 

  The Boys Like Girls – Read Between The Lines DVD is definitely a must buy for any fans – it’s jam packed with content ranging from interviews and backstage footage to my favorite the live concert footage.  The footage is from 3 shows, however, it’s been put together to appear as one show, and I must say, the video editing is phenomenal – seriously.  The editors really did a fantastic job stitching everything together.  It is literal seamless.

  The band is rockin’ too, you can tell they were giving each performance everything they had and that is something as a fan I love to see.

  One of the best live DVD’s I have seen for a while, it is definitely right up there with Taking Back Sunday: Louder Now Part 2.

  Check it out!  Let me know what you think – leave a comment!

  What Are My Tweets Worth? 

  What are your tweets worth anyway?  Good question.  MagPie Twitter is a new tool/service which will not only tell you what your tweet’s may be worth, but will help you monetize them by advertising in your twitter stream.

  According to this site I can rake in (possibly) another roughly $45/month.  Is it worth it though?  Well, that’s up to you.  You can customize it in terms of how often you allow it to post the advertisements.  It can be as often as one advertisement for every tweet or even as little one advertisement for every twenty tweets (or even less if you like).

  Now that being said, you could potentially lose followers which would then hurt your projected “tweet worth” and if you use your twitter account as a tool for promotion (driving people to your site), you could potentially be hurting yourself. How so? Well, if twitter drives people to your site and you have advertising on your site which most likely makes you more than $45/month assuming you publish somewhat regularly and have a decent sized site by losing followers you are losing traffic and thus losing advertising dollars.

  Let me know what you think – leave some feedback!

    I am now using this, because it seems too be a good idea. If people unfollow me, because of a simple ad every 3 tweets, then so be it.

  The Key To Success 

  What does it take to be successful in life?  Of course, success is defined differently by everyone, however, the two main kinds of success (at least in my opinion) are personal success and business success.  So what’s it take to get to the point where you (or others) can consider yourself a success?

  I have been wondering this myself lately, I have been pouring a lot of my time and energy into building up BestTechie.net and improving it but has it worked? – Will discuss that in a bit!

  A lot of people say hard work is the key to success and I myself used to think that too until I had an epiphany.  The key to success is…are you ready?  Creativity.  HOLY CRAP!  You mean its not hard work?  Not based on what I’ve seen over the past 6-8 months.  I’m not saying hard work doesn’t pay off, what I’m saying is sure you can be a hard worker, but if you’re not creative you will eventually hit a brick wall.

  Why is creativity the key to success?  Well, in order to be creative you generally need to think outside of the box and read between the lines.  If you are creative you will find yourself advance much faster in the world.  The more you create, the more chances you’ll hit upon something that is a success.  The more you think outside the box, the more potential employers will like you and the faster you will move up the ranks.

  I should also mention based on what I have seen most people who are creative are generally pretty hard workers to begin with.

  As for BestTechie.net it’s working.

  Just a few thoughts of mine, I’m interested to see what you guys think.  Leave a comment?

    I would definitely agree with creativity. The movers and shakers of society have been the creators and builders. I would say passion is a big part too. I find that if you’re passionate about what you want and you enjoy what you’re doing along the way, the effort you put in is more like “inspired action” instead of “hard work”.
