In this day in age, we are living in a wireless revolution where everywhere you turn, there is someone either on a cell phone, connecting to the web wirelessly from a laptop, or sending e-mail from a BlackBerry/iPhone. With this in mind, I would like to direct your attention to the WebProNews eBusiness Directory’s category of Mobile Computing.

With the iPhone and BlackBerry dominating how the business world and how eBusiness are being used, this category also provides many resources to help enhance how your business-to-customer interaction is managed.

If you have a mobile computing-related site that you would like to see included in our directory’s listings, I encourage you to submit your site using our quick-and-easy submission form. Inclusion in our directory is completely free, and you do not need to submit any information other than your e-mail (for notification of its inclusion), URL, the category (Mobile Computing), and a thumbnail image that helps represent the visual aspect of your mobile computing-related site.

To give you an idea of the sites that we would be glad to have included in this category, I have provided a list below:

• iPhone/BlackBerry application-related websites that are beneficial to your business and will help your business grow.
• Blogs on how mobile computing has impacted your business.

Happy Submitting!

Social networking is now an integral part of interacting with customers/clients in the eBusiness world, and the WebProNews eBusiness Directory is your one-stop shop for anything social networking related. This directory has tons of social networking resources just waiting for your traffic.

With this in mind, our directory has added two new categories called Social Networking Events and Social Networking Tutorials under our directory’s existing Social Networks category. Just recently, I have seen a growing trend of these types of sites being submitted to our directory, so I decided to create these categories so that other directory viewers can find them with ease.

SOCIAL NETWORKING EVENTS

This category is dedicated to events that encompass the social networking world, such as: meetups, tweetups, gatherings, etc. If your business is planning a social networking-based event, and want it to be publicized better, this is the category to submit to! Social networking events are great for meeting future clients for your business and a way to socialize with customers if your business is strictly online.

It has been a while since I discussed iEntry/WebProNews‘ quality directory of Twitter users, so I thought I would give you an update of what has been happening and added since my last report.

If you do not know what I am referring to, Twellow is a free, B2B-oriented Twitter directory that organizes its users by common interest/niche. This service also has a feature named TwellowHood where users can search for people near where they live with aid of a visual map.

Here are some features that have recently been integrated into Twellow:

• Searchable Categories – Whenever you search for people using a topic (e.g. SEO), Twellow will also suggest categories relating to your search query under the Possible Category Matches section on the right-hand side of the user search results. This is a great way to find other users that may be relating to what you are looking for and also to keep up with their trends as well.
  
  
• Extended Profile Formatting – Now, when you edit your extended profile in Twellow, you may use a series of HTML tags to help format the look and presentation of your extended bio on your profile. This is a great benefit if you want to link to an external site from your profile, as well as accentuating certain words or areas of your bio. You can always modify your profile by clicking on the Profile Editor tab that is located on the top right-hand side of our site or by going to http://www.twellow.com/edit in the Location bar your browser.

If you have any comments or questions regarding Twellow, please feel free to contact me via the WebProNews eBusiness Directory Contact Page, and I would be glad to answer any inquiry that you may have concerning our quality Twitter user directory.

Just recently, previous WebProNews eBusiness Directory editor Chris Crum wrote an article on this directory’s parent site (WebProNews) about submitting your software to directories (with the aid of a Q&A session with Google’s SEO guru Matt Cutts). One of the main premises of the article was centered around a question from a person who asked Cutts: “We sell a software product, and there are 100s of software download directories on the web of varying quality. Could submitting our product to all of them hurt our rankings or domain trust/authority?” I have provided the actual video with Cutts below:

Answering this question, Cutts concluded that this will not impact rankings or domain trust/authority. With this being said, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the Software category within the WebProNews eBusiness Directory to you. This category has various tiers for
your B2B software needs, such as:

• Accounting Software – Browse this selection of resources for software to suit your accounting needs.
• Ad-Serving Software – Programs such as AdJuggler, designed to allow you to serve ads on your website(s).
• Content Management Software – Content management systems like Drupal, Wordpress, and many more.
• CRM (Customer Resource Management) Software – Find all the right tools you need to manage your customer relationships.
• eBooks – Category dedicated to online/digital books.
