I refuse to believe that anyone is worse than Brandon.

Very good point.

Re: louisgray.com: Nine Ways to Enlarge the Social Media Audience

To me, 2, 4, and 8 are key to getting more people interested in social media (outside of Facebook and, to some degree, Twitter). #4 is really the most important. Until those people who are not interested in trying every new social media site that comes along are shown concrete benefits, they won't bother trying new ones because it's too much work. Needs must be met and they must be met in a user friendly way. I hate to think of people in the mainstream as being slow or late to the game. I often just think they're like cats -- they're not going to move unless you give them a really good reason to do so. Until then, they're going to sit right there on that newspaper you left on the table last week, thank you very much.

I stick with using the website on my iPhone as well. Total disappointment.

I had a similar issue with the iPhone site that LinkedIn has -- couldn't accept requests which seemed ridiculous to me. Granted, it's still beta.

Great post. It's funny that Spinn brought up the Midi because seeing pages with massive keyword overload or internal linkage overload always give me that same kind of visceral reaction that Midis automatically playing on a webpage used to give me back in the 90s. Terrible.

Most content producers/editors I know see SEO tactics as a necessary evil and absolutely hate writing to please search engines. Problem is, there are so many people out there using those heavy handed tactics that people who don't use them can be left in the dust. So, if you're responsible for a corporate-owned site, for example, you start to lose the option of not playing that game. I thought Google had some kind of algorithm that was meant to weed out tactics (like over use of keywords) like these or did I imagine that?
