LiveBooks is Live and Fake Chuck Is Dead.

Lots of blogs come and go, but of note this week are two… One coming, the other, well, we’re not sure.

First, liveBooks–known globally for their custom photography websites–humbly but proudly joined the online discussion last Tuesday by launching a new blog titled RESOLVE. (I’ve been a liveBooks fan for some time, having switched over to their smooth setup late in 2007 after being impressed by their ability to serve up big photos, and fast.) Their blog kicked off this week after snatching up editor Miki Johnson from American Photo magazine to run the thing. Good moves. Her stated goal is to create “A collaborative online community that brings together photographers and photo industry professionals of every kind” with the goal of “keeping photography relevant, respected, and profitable.” I’ll raise a glass to that. They’re nice folks over there, and I’ll venture they’ll have something to say in the coming weeks and months. Rumor has it, there will be lots of guest posts from a variety of photo industry perspectives. Pay Miki a visit and say hello as she settles in…

Second, you’re familiar with the old Fake Steve Jobs blog that died this past summer? Blogger Dan Lyons once rambled on as the satirical alter ego of Apple’s beloved CEO, the real Steve Jobs. Sometimes humorous, other times painful, that blog had its day and it’s now done – Dan has moved on. On the heels of that, however, enter stage right another little fake blog that started up over at fake Canon. Introducing Fake Chuck Westfall, the alter ego of the long time Media and Customer Relation boss at Canon USA.

Simultaneously loving and hating, praising and chastising Canon, it seems that the satirical Fake Chuck (who made me LMAO when he once labeled yours truly as “on crack” and put me in the cast of Wedding Crashers in the same post) has officially been ordered to close up shop. Canon’s law firm, Loeb and Loeb, came a knocking. And since you’re not new to the ol’ internets, you know what sort of an effect that had…the news spread like wildfire and Fake Chuck’s site went from an average of 200 pageviews per day to 20,000 overnight. Ain’t the internet grand?

So is FCW closed up or not? We’ll have to wait and see. Jury is still out.

    It is no good having a headline that has visitors
    thinking that sounds good and I will check that one
    out later because most will forget all about it in our
    time poor, information overloaded, internet society.
    This really is a very common mistake and is something that confuses many newcomers to internet marketing.

    On this page, offer a valuable and preferably a unique, free
    gift in exchange for a visitor’s email address.

    It is important to make sure that you are providing quality content and you will need to create content consistently.
    You will be able to get better rates for your referrals if the
    traffic to your website or blog is high. A resource or
    recommended tools page is a page that highlights useful links to websites, products or services related to your niche.

    Proposals generally follow a four-part structure: 1) an introduction of yourself and your proposal,
    2) a summary of the situation and needs, followed by
    3) descriptions of the ideas or the properties or services you are offering, including
    all the important details and associated costs. A real estate transaction comes
    around in a time tested manner. Here is what to study: Sales rate,
    time on market, list to sale ratios, average sale price
    per square foot by style of home, percentage of
    listings that expire unsold and home value and rental rate
    trends.
