in What NOT to Tweet: 10 Ways to Commit Social Media Suicide on Little Pink Book
I know where you're coming from, but feeds fly by so fast would one occasional foot in the mouth send you back 1000 yards?

admin I agree to a certain extent David. The thing is, you never know what someone will find later, or after the fact, or who is actually really paying attention to your online moves. It's always good to have some caution, versus none. Be yourself and don't say anything you'll regret. Unlike verbal words, written words are more 'set in stone.'

in Google Profiles Can Now Have Vanity URLs, sort of on RotorBlog.com
Amit did report this, but I'm pretty sure I'd changed my Profile URL to a vanity phrase at least a year ago...

in collision detection: The netbook effect: My latest feature for Wired magazine on Collision Detection
It's all about not using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I was a dedicated Photoshop user, but after a crash and a minimal reinstall on my main machine, I simply switched to Fotoflexer, there may come a time when I need "proper" photo editing, but not so far, and it's been a month already

I'm not sure I have enough wisdom to go around, if I share too much I may end up dumbing down.

Does one have to be an uberfretmeister to get on the list or can a humble amateur (@sciencebase) make the grade...I'd live to start a #ChordSwapFriday or something on twitter. Voting for F#7add11 (2nd fret F# with open B and E strings do it on an ES335, add some distortion and lots of Fender chorus and you're Lifeson to a tee circa Hemispheres and again on Far Cry (Snakes & Arrows)

Welcome back into the fold Jim, I thought I saw your "old" twitterID pop up in an RT t'other day...

in Time for marketing on Jim's Marketing Blog
It's funny though because this weekend, which was a holiday weekend, I've actually regained old ground on traffic to Sciencebase. Sunday uniques were double what they were for the peak during last working week. It's as if forced to be off work all the Americans turned to their computers and started surfing ;-)

On a related theme, what's the best time of day, day of the week to post a blog post, any blog post? Does the same rule re checking out your audience's preoccupations still apply?

In other words is blogging about not Obama a good idea on #inaug09? What about regular event days in the calendar, Martin Luther, 4th of July, Xmas, Thanksgiving, election days etc, how far do we need to check?

in Moved: Feedburner Migration With Glitches on Zoli's Blog
I was forcibly migrated a while back. Luckily, I'd been using mybrand on FB so that my RSS links were of the form http://feeds.sciencebase.com etc, which means I didn't need to change any visible links. Stats did recover within a week or so and that particular site is now fast approaching 4000 subbies ;-)

in 13 years this week since… on Jim's Marketing Blog
Yes, we were on the UK academic network, but it wasn't quite as widely used as you'd expect, we were still faxing research papers back and forth for quite some time after '89. All scientific correspondence is done by email these days; that and FriendFeed, it seems ;-)

My first email address was January 23, 1989! Some coming up to my 20th anniversary. I've got a little blog post anecdote coming up about what happened when my wife got hers soon after that...

Another point about comment spam is that the spammer's IP will be blacklisted if you flag their comment as spam...

in Chunking it down! on Jim's Marketing Blog
I almost always apply this chunking down technique when trying to justify a purchase, if it works out at only a few pence per day over the several years that I'll be using whatever gadget it is, it's much easier. Especially if that few pence is less than price of a pint.

in Dear Twitter- I'll Give Back SO Much Space on Chris Brogan
There are so many tweaks they could make, that would improve life for twitterers, although it's still a great service. My main gripe is that we can create these mock sidebars with our background images but not make them clickable...

in Seth Godin and Twitter on Jim's Marketing Blog
I think Seth is maybe just bored with all the chat and this is his rationalisation...perhaps.

in Focus on people - Not ‘hits’! on Jim's Marketing Blog
I think that's exactly right. In the old days, it was all about eyeballs, but no one cared about whose eyeballs. These days, every single visitor (even the trolls) matters and having a successful site is about engaging with each and every one of them on an individual level.

Media People on Twitter seems to have been taken offline for breach of T&Cs...apparently because of heavy usage, this is what it's showing:

I think the twitterank, whether it was a scam or not (it probably wasn't), should serve as a wake-up call to everyone who thinks they are immune to phish

in Melamine In China Milk Scandal on The Mouse Potato Blog: Funny Jokes & Other Cool Stuffs
Thanks for the mention...but do you need to quote such huge chunks of my article? Why not simply comment and provide the source link? you'll suffer a duplicate filtering penalty on this page in the search engines, I suspect. Also, please tag the images at actual size, they look terrible scaled up like this.

You could be right. Those double-underlined links are a pain in the 'arris.

I've covered the Feedburner Myth on sciencetext.com

It would be so nice if these feedcounts could be stable. I saw mine plummet to 1500-ish at the weekend but today it's showing an all-time high of 3202!

in Workfriendly Goes Offline on Plagiarism Today
Yep, definitely, a combined effort, but more than likely that someone served a direct cease & desist on their hosting company.

Jonathan Bailey I'm actually not sure about that. Back when the issue was "hot", several people tried just that but the problem was that WF didn't actually "host" anything on their site, it was just the front page and a script for converting other pages to the new format. The host had repeatedly said that there was nothing they could do. I have the old contact information, I might email them though and see what they have to say on it.

I'm personally thinking that the admin just got frustrated and walked away...
