Twitter just announced @anywhere platform – notice who is missing?

Social Networking - Social widgets encourage visitors to connect with you on Twitter , Facebook , BlogCatalog , MyBlogLog and other social bookmarking and social networking sites . Advertising - Widgets from Google Adwords , ad networks and retailers such as Amazon help you generate income from you blog or other website. How much do you know about website widgets?

Yesterday, Twitterers noted that Darren Rowse , otherwise known as Australia’s most popular media and marketing blogger Problogger, had had his logo ripped off by BeamDotMy When I checked on Buzz, there were hundreds of comments – followers had even taken beamdotmy logo, flipped it in photoshop and were able to prove without a shadow of a doubt that it was ripped from Problogger. When she complained about it, they ignored her and continued to sell on Amazon and elsewhere. I get asked all the time “if you blog, tweet, slideshare, podcast, can’t someone just TAKE your intellectual property?”
