I just tweeted for the 10,000th time. So what the heck does that mean? I am a Twittering fool? 20 months, 10,000 tweets, 3,000 followers. What learning have I gleaned from all this (image by Sonny Gill)?Twitter remains a strange place. That’s what I’ve learned. It’s just weird in a captivating, yet maddeningly ugly way. T (Read More)

A friend of mine is a very well-read, successful blogger. His personal narratives, short stories and semi-autobiographical fiction normally collect dozens of comments, sometimes well over 100, and spark lots of interesting exchanges between his readers. He’s built his audience steadily, over the course of a couple of years, (Read More)

: That's interesting. Never think of MySpace blogs, because most of them have empty content. I personally don't like MySpace, because every time I login to it I have something weird happen like a banner that says my computer is corrupted and needs to be checked.

Mike Arrington, founder of the famous tech blog TechCrunch, hates the new Google search features. They even tell you how to kill the new wiki-style features using GreaseMonkey on Firefox. Mike does take the time to explain the new features here, though.The problem is, Mike is wrong.These features rock. They let me add notes (Read More)

: I am wondering a couple of things on Google SearchWiki 1) Does the promotions of websites reflect to any of my other searches...essentially would knocking down Experts Exchange from one search mean it will be knocked down for any of my future searches. 2) If experts exhange have new content would it again show up on my searches if I searched with the same keywords. Would giving control to a novice would actually result in derailing his searches at some point based on this ability to turn off things and not turn them back on?
: Scoble says this is a win for Google, because searchers spend more time on a page, hence see more ads, etc. But I like the idea that we can reduce or eliminate abusive social bookmarking's effect on our individual results. Gotta be great for researchers of all sorts.

: Hmm...an interesting read, but I still do prefer Firefox (for now). While Chrome does have many advantages over Firefox, it is not enough for me to transfer my blogoholic habits over to the other side of the fence.

I recently shifted my interest not totally but more expanding my horizons from Design to SEO and Social Media.
As an avid Twitter user I searched for some interesting people to follow and listen to concerning these subjects, what I found that many people have keywords in their @username but never tweet a single thing about (Read More)

: I find that I follow folks that follow ones that I know. . . Only a portion of tweets are actually about business but I have developed a community that is very knowledgeable about the topics that interest me and are available with answers to my questions. It takes time but very effective for me.
: that's a LOT of tools doing similar things. It's getting to a point where it's hard to tell how one is different from the other (and if they're significant).

How easy is it to launch a new web application these days? Easy enough that we see scads of new ones every day, in our tips inbox, on other blogs, raining out of the sky like cats and dogs. We love many of them, we really do, but after that short period of excitement - how many of these apps do we keep using for the long (Read More)

: I love this post - because it's not just about new web gadgets - it's about new web gadgets that people are actually finding useful some time after discovery and as they incorporate them into every day business life.
: Nice endorsement of some apps. I'd love to see the same article at 6 and 12 months. To last that long, an app really has to show 1) value and 2) an ability to adapt.
