First of all this would be a one way communication. Maybe not, but with our current technology we're safe to assume the time it would take to send and receive messages would be far too great for any interactive scenario.
What would you want to tell them anyway? The problems in our world, your problems?
I think our message should be simply this: we exist. And we should not be afraid to say it.
A few months ago S Hawkins said something like we should be afraid if aliens found out we exist because they would come here and do bad things to us. Given the history of mankind, that's what has happened when an technologically advanced civilization meets with another that can't protect itself.
The reason I disagree is that any beings that are able to travel through the stars will have access to essentially unlimited resources. They will come to us out of curiosity not looking to eat us (their biology would likely have evolved so that we are not edible to them).
Throughout our history and to the present, we've always been faced with limited resources of our confined world. That may be a big reason nations continue to struggle getting along.
Getting back to the aliens, how can we communicate that we exist? Is it possible?
Let's discuss some ideas to do it, please comment.

Facebook connects you to the people you care about, like your friends and family. Still many of my F/F are not using it. I just started using Facebook at the beginning of this year and already using it more than my yahoo.
It's interesting to see what my friends are up to. Which ones are active and which ones stay quiet in the background. I already connected or became aware of of many groups that my friends are interested in. Even applications/tools are useful because my friends and family use them.

Review on eMarketing conference.
Today many small to medium companies feel the online business path is a jungle rather than a smooth drive to money and success but some e-Marketing experts are lighting the way nicely for them. I recently attended the e-Marketing Techniques conference of Corporate College in Cleveland and was positively struck by the practical guidance of 2 of the speakers there, John Jantsch and Don Philabaum.
John was the key note speaker and his guidance on the 4 C's of online marketing was something most could understand and take away for action the very next day. He didn't speak on the theories of Internet evolution and other things many times online marketing experts speak about and confuse the average business owner and that was refreshing.
By the way the 4 C's of online marketing are Content, Context, Community and Connection.
Don presented in a break-out session on online strategies. Having been there and done that on the Internet already you could see the experience and clarity in his advice on Internet strategies. I liked his presentation because it flowed smoothly and had a clear underlying theme for businesses and did not waste time on the many things going on the Internet that are not relevant for the type of business managers attending it.
As many of you know there are many others out there that are ready to give you advice but to me many are bloated and are not action-oriented and thus you won't find those here as right now I don't blog much and really don't have the time for it. A friend asked me what I though of the conference and instead of just writing up something for her I decided to branch out and write it in a blog. Does anyone have advice for me on this piece I just wrote?
If you still want to find more on how to make money online for your business check out these guys because they'll put it in easy and clear terms that are time-effective. Do some online searches on them to find out more . I gotta run but I'll try and find some links and post here later. Or if you find nice links please put in the comments (no spam pretty please) and tell me what you think after reading up on them yourself.

Tips on Writing Reviews
1. Relay your experiences with the product. Anyone can read the specs to find out product info but the unique knowledge that you have experienced is what makes consumer reviews powerful.
2. Get to the point and always have a useful point when writing. People reading your review don't want to read about how cute your cat looked in the photo, they want to know how well your camera captured the moment with the right lighting, etc.
3. Write for one specific audience that you know best. For example write how a novice user might use the camera. Since you may be a novice you can help out that type of user. Don't try and conjecture on how an expert might use some of the advanced features of the camera.
