I still haven’t really worked out the full marketing benefits of Google Friend – take a look over there in the sidebar.

Scroll down and you’ll see a box that looks like this – unless someone else has joined since writing this:

But, although I’m not yet sure of the ultimate benefits, right now I’m really pleased I put it on this site.

It’s Christmas time and I just saw that Randy had joined me. 

I looked at the links in his profile and the other sites he had joined and spotted Qloud

Now I’m a little on the nosey side and was intrigued about Qloud. In fact there’s a clue as to the value of Google Friend – the links you add are seen by anyone looking at your profile within the widget on any websites you’ve joined. Think about the enormous potential benefits of that!

Any way – back to my story. I clicked on the Qloud link and found something I didn’t know existed.

A whole new world opened up before me.

An online video jukebox for want of a better term. And there right before my eyes was my favourite Christmas song of all time:

Fairytale of New York by the Pogues with the late Kirsty McCall (she wasn’t of course late at the time!)

I really should be creating some more videos for BloggingBeginners but I took 5 minutes out to watch the video. And then I did some exploring into the site and found you can download a plugin for iTunes that results in anything you listen to in iTunes appearing in Qloud.

Well I never.

So Randy, you’re to blame when my videos are late! And for anyone interested here’s the video I was listening to as I wrote this post.

Merry Christmas – & don’t drink as much as these guys!
