One of the best things about social media apps like Hootsuite, Seesmic or Echofon is the ability to run social media campaigns for multiple platforms from one location. However, if you’re using 3rd party apps with Facebook, you need to stop right now. When Facebook brought in their algorithm to weight posts in your feed, […]

Correlation v Causation in SEO
What causes one page to rank higher than another in the search engines? I guess that’s the question every person doing SEO tries to figure out and replicate.

Twitter Tips For Beginners
Dear Twitter Beginner, You ask me why you have 20 followers and I have over 100,000. Why do hundreds of people retweet me every day and no-one pays attention to you? I’ll let you in on a secret, you’re probably smarter than me, better looking than me and are a better “people person” than me. […]

I did this more as an academic exercise than anything else. What if you wanted to easily download any user’s latest tweets? There are plenty of tools available for backing up your own tweets, but what if you found someone with lots of inspirational tweets you wanted to save? I couldn’t find any software or […]
Use Your Own Thumbnails Instead of Youtube’s Default
Some time ago I did a post on how to use the WordPress Plugins Youtube Thumbnailer and WP Youtube together.

You’ll need […]
