You can tap in to solutions to just about any question or problem.
Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?
Well it’s easy to forget that when you get an error code on your computer or Mac, or do not know how to find certain files on your PC, or just about anything, really – you are not the first person to have that problem. In fact there are likely to have been thousands of people with the same problem. And what some of them will have done, when they’ve resolved their issue, is put it online – into a forum (geeks especially can be very friendly and helpful people).
So if you get an error such as “The Group Policy Client Service has failed….Access denied” – if you can get online somehow, search for exactly that and find out how others have fixed this, you may
Or if you cannot work out how to upload files from your Mac to your website – a search will result in pages of others’ experiences, and quite possibly a solution that can work for you.
So the next time you get an error message or want to know how to do something, ask Google!

There are a lot of self-styled experts and gurus out there – perhaps most especially, of late, in the Internet marketing field (which of course now includes social media). Some of them do know their stuff, but many could learn a thing, or three – perhaps even just rolling up their sleeves and actually doing themselves what they purport to know so much about. Oops – sorry about that, got a bit carried away on my soap box…
Anyway – there are some good people who are walking the walk – you’ll know just the kind of person I’m referring to. Those who just get on with it, who don’t make a huge thing of what they can do and who do not tell everyone that they are experts – they leave that to others, if they so wish (or think of it!).
Well, we’re going to give them a nudge and celebrate their achievements through a series of interviews, encouraging some further insight into what makes them tick, what they love about their work and the Internet, and what they’d like to happen in the foreseeable future (which is about a month, in Internet terms!).
What questions would you ask? And who do you think should be included in this list of real experts?
