For Episode 10 of this internet business podcast (subscribe) we did “Ten Things You Should Have Learned In Our First 10 Episodes” as a clever way to recap and highlight what we had talked about in our first episodes. This has – by far – been our most listened to show.

• Twitter For Business
• Listening Strategies
• Social Media Trends and Finding Opportunities
• What We Learned at Big Omaha
• The Long Tail of Content
• Measuring Social Media Campaigns
• Why Blogging is Essential in Business
• You Need An iPhone
• Local Search Optimization
• Wait – that’s only 9 … Tune in for our super secret 10th tip!

If you have any questions you’d like answered please leave a comment below and we’ll answer them live on the show – with your name and URL. Or follow along on Twitter with #MTE hashtag and join our FriendFeed Group…

Earlier this week we put out the “Local Search Optimization” to help businesses realize and act on the potential of the local search market. We’ve gotten several questions since then as well as a few “Ah-Ha” moments…

We are dropping two episodes of Managing The Edge internet business podcast today!

Blogging Is Still Cool
