The modern Internet Marketer

7 replies
We live in a fast paced world. Everywhere around us are iPhones, BlackBerries and similarly functional smart devices, they've evolved not only to fill, but to create a need.

That need is productivity.

In the modern world, if you're not connected to your business 24/7, you're not working hard enough. At least, that's how many of us seem to view it.

I personally never buy things that cannot travel with me, no matter where I'm going. It's my personal viewpoint, that if I'm spending my hard earned cash on a product, I need to be able to get as much use from it as possible.

So, Warriors, how connected are you?

I have most of my mobile needs covered with my iPhone, but I do own a BlackBerry as well.

What do you use to stay plugged in?

Smartphones, laptops with 3G connections, tablets?

Discuss.

    Meh not really much of a electronics guy. I'm very simple and oldschool. I just buy the newest Nintendo every 5 years and, a new laptop when I need one.

    I don't own a ipod, iphone nor ipad (wow what a waste it is for most people)...I do have a HTC Legend phone, only because I wanted to view the Internet on the run

      Laptop, Blackberry, that's all.

      On IM the dream (or goal) its to be free, and enjoy life, not to be attached to your work 24/7, so I use Blackberry only for emergency, and I try to eliminate distractions.

      I notice that so many people use smartphones as a distraction, more than productivity, they spend hour a day on SMS or SSM or chat with friends for stupid things.

        I have an acer laptop, an hp laptop (which I don't use anymore), a blackberry, an iphone4,an ipod nano, a majic jack. The funny part is, I didn't purchase any of them, I got them as gifts.

        But through these I was able to purchase one of the most important things I got , a better car.

    well ya to some extent, it is extremely important to stay connected with your business and clients all the time. You never know when it needs you. I spent most of my time on my laptop and ofcourse with my cell Nokia N 97.

    I have a Macbook Pro which I practically carry it with me 24/7 and my Blackberry Bold which is more than enough to cover me through my internet venture

      I love my MacBook Pro too, I'm considering getting an Air for IM though as the Pro seems a little over powered for most jobs.
