Immediate results, instant gratification, instant riches. Today thousands of online marketing products promise the same things and try and make money. And every minute, someone out there purchases a new product right before the price goes up. The new product, which inevitably is going to change the way we do Internet marketing. If you don’t purchase instantly you are going to get left in the dust while early adopters make all of the money.

Internet marketing is like a treasure hunt because the treasure may or may not actually be at the end, depending on whether you believe in it all.

The process needs to be revealed. The process needs to be flexible enough for personal modifications. And the process needs to guide a person through to profits.

The Marketing power of Internet sites

With the rise of individual voices and the eroding effectiveness of mass marketing techniques, it’s no wonder that so many marketing and communications disciplines are enamored with cracking the code on influence, specifically influence among people.

For example to market a book, an old-school form of media, we turn to a couple of the newest: video file sharing and online social networking, create a video spot for YouTube and our own Web site on MySpace.com. YouTube and MySpace, gives us an access to 30 million people, so you can well imagine how many potential customers we can line up with Internet. The reason why this technique is translating into sales is that videos are a lot visible to a large number of people.

I still remember by friends running around to consultants while applying for an International University. I wish we all knew that we will soon have all this information just a click away. Now, here’s one that will make your career while you sit make friends, chat and watch videos. Surprised?

I’m talking about the new online community, Bharatstudent.com. Before I go any further and write about it let me put a pre-review for you in one line.

Just like me, not many of us would have heard of this new video search engine Truveo. AOL/Time Warner has launched a video search engine called Truveo to crack Google for advertising dollars and search dominance.

As newspapers, blogs and media are all anxiously propelling out news on the new applications for iPhone, I couldn’t resist writing about it as well.

With the new Internet technology taking over in a big way, iPhone apps have been the most interesting innovations. CRM provider Etelos - which has already gripped some popular platforms like Google Apps, Netvibes, Pageflakes and Windows Live - announced on its blog about an Etelos CRM suite of modularized CRM tools, for use on the iPhone.

Another new application in the iPhone splash is the Clippz.com. This service allows you to download “optimized video clips” from the Internet to a mobile device (a process it calls ’sideloading’). Clippz.com has announced that they are offering more than 500 MySpace, Metacafe and YouTube collections encoded in Apple iPhone’s H.264 file format. What else can one ask for!

Well, its will be too early for me to comment in terms of development. Infact I came across an article on the new development platform for web-based iPhone apps, the first of its kind. And to add to action Adobe AIR and Google Web ToolKit (GWT) are likely to participate in iPhones apps too.

The excitement around iPhone web applications is soaring day by day, and why not? We all are waiting to see some more action by iPhone developers.

So let me know what iPhone apps have you seen that have tickled your interest and you can’t wait to use?
