Top 10 Reasons why Chicago is a Heartbreaker

daver — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:19:08 +0000

So I randomly said something on Twitter tonight and actually got a response: people agreed and said that the tactic was past its prime. Inspiration for this comes from @kristy, @msaleem, and @monicawright Well I have 2 words for you: Its not dead just yet. Okay, that was a few more, deal with it. So without further ado, I present a random off the cuff Top 10 list. Bulls -...

Twitter WordPress Plugin

daver — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 06:20:40 +0000

For a long time I have heard good things about twitterfeed but much like graywolf I hate to use 3rd party applications that ask for my username and password. So what else could I do but go on a hunt for a Twitter WordPress plugin? I did a seach on WordPress for "twitter" and found some possible options but only 2 really stood out as probables: Twitpress by Tom Purnell...

Twitter Link Find V19

daver — Tue, 27 May 2008 05:29:17 +0000

It has been quite some time since I had time to blog - and even now I dont have time. I still thought I should try and keep you updated (even if way late) of some great links I have found on Twitter. Over the past few weeks I have spent some time in San Fran, Boston, and here and there - always keeping me super busy. Even as I...

How a blog works.

daver — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 13:52:10 +0000

1. I write the in-depth or not so in-depth content. 2. You stumble across it, del.icio.us to it, follow RSS to it, follow a tweet to it,follow pownce to it, google to it, or find a blog via some other method. 3. You read it, think about it, enjoy it, hate it, dismiss it, scream/hoot/holler at it. In the end you will think something - hopefully. You may or may...

Corporate Blogs Need Love Too

daver — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 20:55:10 +0000

There seems to be a bit of "do as I say and not as I do" going around. There are some agencies of different types that are talking about the value of blogs and SEO, but don't quite practice what they preach. It has always irked me when the teacher doesn't follow his own rules (or recommendations, in this case). Now, I'm not saying that all agency type companies MUST...

15 TinyURL Alternatives – Shorten your URLS

daver — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 05:19:46 +0000

The past week or so there have been some snags with the once steady TinyURL and URLtea. The two services have started to take on heavy loads with services like Twitter using the APIs and creating a ginormous amount of links. *Jan 2009 Update* - Scroll down and see the full 17+ list of services. My pick for best service is Zi.ma and a new one (I will be trying...

It's all about the numbers

daver — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 16:43:01 +0000

Or is it? Why does everything online have to be about the numbers. I have X number of subscribers, I have X number of visitors, I have X number of page views. Bloglines came out with a Top 1000 Blogs today as proof that its all about the numbers. Then the newer service Quantcast is a ComScore/Hitwise type service only free that is too all about the numbers. These examples...

Twitter Review

daver — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 00:54:30 +0000

A quick FAQ on what Twitter is. Twitter is a micro-blogging platform where all posts must be 140 characters or less. It basically lets you do quick posts that your friends and family can follow and respond to. Twitter had allowed you to send in messages via your cell phone but due to some problems it was down for a few weeks (estimated the time). The SMS feature has again...

The Future of Magazines

daver — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 00:27:01 +0000

I was catching up on Twitter and came across Andy's tweet and mention of Blogworld. One of the sponsors/ads on the site talked about Blogger & Podcaster magazine and how you can get it for free. Well, I am a sucker for free so I took a peek of course. What I found was yes it was free but more interesting to me were the options to subscribe. I get...
