Many of my compatriots have posted on their blogs reflecting on the last decade or year and very good reading it is too here are some of them:

• CantBarsed.com 10th Anniversary Year! Joe Connor
• Surviving A Decade Of Self Employment Jason Dale
• Goodbye to the Noughties and a New Life in the Teenies… Nadeem Azam
• What a difference 10 years makes… J Lil (aka James Little)
• That’s All For 2009 Folks – What will 2010 Bring? Kirsty McCubbin

For me this is not a time for reflection, the Noughties were ok to me well actually a bit of a rollercoaster ride, however, as one top astrologer put it on New Years Day, they have tweeted their last tweet and updated facebook for the last time, and you cant phone, text, email or skype them, they are gone forever.

Now looking forward to the Teenies (is that the accepted term?) what will they bring, undoubtedly for all of us, a whole world of new changes and challenges on so many levels both personally and professionally.

On a professional level I am going to start by building on the foundations our dear friend the Noughties left behind, 2009 was all about consolidation, I ended the year spending 90% of my time on the few sites bringing in the majority of my revenue rather than wasting time on dead ducks.

The main focus this year will be on building up the brand of Fashion Style You which is now over 2.5 years old and steadily growing month on month (google willing).

Aside from that I am going to remain flexible while continuing other projects and collaborations which have proved fruitful in the past I will also be looking for new opportunities, possibly selling a few sites but above all moving forward.

Here is the latest update from the @AffiliateBlogs twitter account which automatically retweets from Internet Marketing Blogs .

The twitter account currently has 1005  followers which I am happy with as we reached a peak of almost 1200 then twitter culled a load of spam accounts which dropped the total back below the thousand.

This is what has been popular throughout July.

Top 10 Tweets via @AffiliateBlogs in June 2009

The two weeks since I automated Internet Marketing Blogs so that the rss is twittered via @AffiliateBlogs have been a bit of a bumpy ride, the service I use, Hootsuite, has crashed a couple of times and not quite been as reliable as I hoped but all in all things have gone pretty well, the twitter account has so far proved pretty popular and at time of writing has got 420 followers, from a peak of 453, no doubt some of the autofollow twitter tarts have now auto-unfollowed.

Anyway I thought I would share with you from the hootsuite stats the most popular tweets from the 1187 click throughs  since the service started, if you find this useful let me know and I will do a similar top 10 every month.
