SEO and Tech Daily

With apologies to GoogleBot and FeedBurner ?!Today

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to move SEO and Tech Daily to it's 'generic home' at  seoandtechdaily.com on the WordPress platform.

In retrospect, it was a bad decision for a variety of reasons.

So, first, my apologies to the search engines.

Huh?

Of the many tests I've run in this space, this was not one of them and some really strange results began showing up (despite the fact that I did all the 'right things' :)

SEO and Tech Daily is staying here at anzman.blogspot.com.  Google has provided the backup and export capabilities (and they work) should I even decide to make a change later.  If you've already changed a link to this blog, it'll still work, but it would be cool if you change it back.  (seoandtechdaily.com now has a 301 redirect here).

So what's up with all of this?

In brief, there's only so much time in a day and I have been more active on a host of other projects.  I LOVE Wordpress, use it in other spaces, and have for past clients.

I've been doing a tremendous amount of reading (instead of devoting that time to writing, sharing..... or hanging out on Friendfeed).

The advertising landscape has changed dramatically.  I watched the past two months as companies and individuals large and small tried (MANY, in vein) to market both on the Internet and in other media.

Factually, there's a lot of bad information out there (and a few con ar

Happy New Year !Yesterday

A Happy and Healthy New Year from our family (including 'Boots') to yours!

Pardon our year-end dustDecember 30 2008

Over the next few days we'll be experimenting with a new look and feel for SEO and Tech Daily (and deciding whether or not to move it from Blogger to Wordpress).

So if things look like they're movin' around ....

.... it's not you :)

2008 : It's all Louis Gray's faultDecember 28 2008

It was somewhere around early last summer when I began reading Louis Gray's blog.

As time went on, it became part of my daily 'social graph'.

A few months later, Louis and I chatted on the phone and I even broke my own rule and did a 'guest post' on his blog.

For those of you that (have been living in a closet???? and ...) don't know who Louis is, or what he writes about, he spent much of this past year breaking stories on new and unique online products.  Some of them were pretty cool.  Some were probably dead out of the box (or will be).  A few were game-changers.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to play with 'new toys', so as Louis brought them to my attention, I subscribed, commented ... even featured (more than) a few right here.


So now I have a problem.

I'm overconnected?!

I belong to all of these cool services.   I have absolutely no idea which I set to import what.  It's true.  In all honesty, I didn't keep track.  I probably lost the passwords to more than half ....

..... and now I'm getting a few surprises.

Earlier this week, I wrote a passing piece here.  It wasn't one of my best and I decided to delete it. 

Usually, I'll relegate stuff like that to 'draft', and then re-write or decide later.  For some reason, in this case, I just shot it quick, before it was picked up by

Santa delivers new version of TweetDeckDecember 25 2008

TweetDeck, the popular Adobe Air-based Twitter desktop client moved to version .21 beta last night.

Among the changes is a built-in spell checker and more.

How many times have you sent as Tweet and said... "I can't believe I did that"?  Unfortunately, you can't take a Tweet back.

Well, if online spelling is on your New Years resolution list, TweetDeck just made it a little easier, as well as adding a host of improvements and fixes:




Along the same lines (You guys knew I had to get this in here .. :), Friendfeed now allows you to edit your own posts.  Gone are the days where you had to delete them altogether and re-post, (taking those all-important 'likeys' with you :) ......


Merry Christmas All !
