Re: Yes, I pay alimony to my husband (or as it’s being called “manimony”)

Man! Never knew USA (or California) has such laws! But I am VERY proud of you. In marriage or divorce, children's needs should always be met first before your own. And I think you've done it.

Be sure to let your kids know MUMMY (that's you) love them no matter what!!

I do look forward to reading more in your blog and getting to know you Alexis!

This is even when for example, a software does NOT work. So beware! (PayPal should really re-review its terms and conditions to better protect online buyers!)

Re: Do You Have To Touch Every Conversation

kelly — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:51:25 -0000

I try to get a feel of "every" conversation in all other social media but I find that TIME isn't on my side. I don't have the time to update myself or whatever, in every social media. I feel Tumblr, Plurkme, Xazzle and Twitter to be the easiest to use but somehow I spent more time on Twitter (that cartoon bird worked I guess!)

It's not totally about which social media is better (each one has its flaws and strengths) but I feel if you focus long enough in just one social media, over time you can 'build' a community who's interested enough to follow you - even if you post infrequently. Even if the build-up is slow.

Re: Do You Have To Touch Every Conversation

Oh sorry - I meant Zazzle!

P.S. Fully agree with Amanda "Focus on actively participating in what yields positive results."

Re: Social Media is No Place for Robot Behavior

kelly — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 02:04:14 -0000

Twitter robots are good if you want automatic replies to new followers - the bad of course, it is an impersonal reply. The reason why I don't use it is because I don't follow everyone who follows me, although I do follow 95% of the time. (Luckily there are desktop clients and tools that can send you all direct messages in "Daily Digest" form or else your head's gonna get bigger! And thank God, I don't need to reply to every Twitter message directed to me.)

@StevenSanders I am Be-A-Magpie user but I personally set it to once every 20 tweets so it doesn't "act up" everyday. Still I have no idea what people are getting after every 20th my of tweet, so may be you can give me a clue to how a Magpie tweet looks like?

Thank you for the discussion here Chris!

Re: Social Media is No Place for Robot Behavior

kelly — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 05:41:50 -0000

I sorta agree with QuantumGod. If you don't send messages automatically to hundreds in your list, how do you know which are the people who would respond to you personally? But I do agree it's irritating when people do not know how to creatively use automatic "twits". (I have never used 'auto robot messages' other than the ones my blog automatically twits to twitter.)

Question: What if it's an automatic thank-you to my new followers with a link to a greeting ecard for them? Or a link to a free experimental toolbar (no malware or spyware nor virus) download? Or a digital pin-up calendar you can use on your desktop as a screensaver too? Dan (Dhollings) is using 'robot-messages' with a lot of success.

Re: Social Media is No Place for Robot Behavior

haha @Ian D. Nock! Chris, thank you for your detailed reply because it makes me understand many people's perspectives (including yours). I have never used bot-messages except when my blog tweets to Twitter (which is rare since it twitted 3 times before I deactivated it)! And yeah, all my messages are personally sent out without autoreply-bots.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Chris and readers!!

Good tips Aaron - for natural remedies to soothe sunburned skin (sometimes we do not monitor how much time we are at the beach)!

Prevent sunburns if you can, but also do not totally block out the sunshine (sunscreens block out UVA and UVB rays essentially for body's production of Vitamin D).

5 to 10 mins of sunshine (is all you need daily) - helps the body to produce Vitamin D your body needs. :)

Very qoooool!! "Equal me and I will equal you on Twitter!" I think it's very humble and yet true!

One way to see if people are just broadcasting without regards to others' tweets is to just send a personal message (if that's allowed).

Twitter is sneaky in a way cos you can disallow direct messages and nudges!

Has anyone checked Twinfluence.com ? I have a feeling that it's not only in the numbers as explained in the site made by fellow Twitterer GuyHaven that makes your tweets more (or less) reached.

Re: Twitter photo shock from PhotoShop

kelly — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 09:17:53 -0000

Great article cos it got me thinking!

Having a pic photoshopped so the person looks 25 years younger may be "too much", but would one have made fuss around one who's gone for cosmetic surgery to make himself look 23 to 40 years younger?

That is a good question about trust, although: I thought it is common sense to expect people to use already-photoshopped pictures of themselves and especially by a designer.

On the flip side, this designer shoulda warned that he didn't look close to the pics he had on his site, blah blah and that they were photoshopped.

If people didn't like who or what they see, they can't blame the person for not saying so in the first place. Blatant honesty is always good!

They don't ask about the difference between real natural grapes and seedless grapes.

There are 2 reactions to @Scobles (through my own observations):

1. Many people still follow him!!
2. Many people also said he's arrogant/rude and unfollow him.

He had also asked Veronica Belmont to admit she paid Twitter to be placed on Twitter's SUGGESTED USERS' LIST. I am not even sure if it's a publicity stunt in disguise or if it was a real argument or what, but I just take it as "entertainment".

I keep neutral but I am following him to see what he tweets. 'Curiosity' always wins even if the person in unpopular.

Turns out that her blog is on Blogger and I must admit I am NOT fond of re-doing a Blogger blog. However, I agreed to do some graphics for her and to guide her in setting up a shopping cart for her Blogger blog in exchange for her doing other simple online favours for me as I understand she didn't have cash on her to pay me.

Via email, I explained to her briefly why I think she should be using self-hosted Wordpress, etc.

So yeah...I agree fully with what you said - if Wordpress did what you said, all Bloggers will have NO HESITATION whatsoever to desert their Blogger blogs!! But I guess good things come with a price. to me, Wordpress RULES!

Re: 7 Reasons Why Blogger Users Should NOT Switch to Wordpress

kelly — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:40:47 -0000

I think one thing that Blogger.com bloggers can do is to save stuff in raw HTML or text, start AFRESH in self-hosted Wordpress without "moving" the whole blog (cos doing so tends to screw things in Wordpress and pages will look wierd).

Post old posts and comments (backlinks) one by one. I know it's tedious but that's the safe way if you do not want Wordpress headaches.

Luckily, self-hosted Wordpress blogs do not take more than a month to get back their Blogger blog's previous "page rankings". I lost my Page3 ranking (within 2 weeks) after moving from one server to another without backup and I was posting back only about 25% of what I had previously posted (Google and MSN cached my previous blog entries which was really helpful). (And yeah, remember to delete your old Blogger account so as to prevent Google penalty or slap.)

As of now, I still do not know if Blogger blog's comment page can be customised. That's one thing I dislike of Blogger blogs.

The only NEW feature that Blogger has now - you can have all comments right under every post instead of the dumb pop-up window for comments (I hate that pop-up too!)

I still prefer self-hosted wordpress blogs. They really stand out! :)

Blogrush couldn't detect Blogrush widget on my self-hosted wordpress blog. So it wasn't working for me. Anyway heard it's already dead and closed now.

From the start to the end my blog has ALWAYS been a DO-FOLLOW. NOFOLLOW does not reduce spam anyway. :)

Re: Linking Etiquette/Ethics for Blogs: The Last Word

kelly — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:24:16 -0000

I guess I fall into "ethical blogger" - I only post links which are relevant to what I am blogging and which I think help other bloggers.

The only time I do not post a link in my blog is when I am about to ask the link-owner (another blogger) if it's ok to post their blog link to mine (Twitter) and THAT message gets blocked.

Re: Top 10 Commenting Sins of All Time!

VERY good blog!!! You know....I am new to blogging but what you've just experienced could be what I am ABOUT to experience (but of course I hope not to or never to experience it!) I always leave comments in bloggers of similiar minds and content. Where money is concerned, some can be really really sensitive and get nasty.

I think you did the right thing of blocking via Twitter. Especially for people who's "stealing content" without tracking back or mentioning your blog.

I have recently linked to good blogs who were promoting the SAME PRODUCTS I was promoting (text link or display ads). I do not see it as SOMETHING BAD. Generous bloggers fare better (in my opinion) and will not feel the fear of "competition" or ned to be saying things like "XXXX stole my commenter!!! And business!"

I guess I am a little luckier in a sense cos before I realised that I was on first 5 pages (Google) for "girly wordpress", I wasn't using any SEO "tips" at all (at one time Feedjit widget revealed I was getting a lot of visits via Google for "girly wordpress"). I am not using SEO much although sometimes I do download tools and try them out. I guess I need to be more focused.

I would love to see 1 of my ex-boss die cos they don't use Twitter! lol

PRweb.com is very wellknown and I think people pay for PR services so they can concentrate on other stuff.

BTW, thanks for teaching me staff about advertising in Twitter! Good stuff!

Re: 3 reasons why you should be glad that people are not following you on Twitter?

kelly — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:19:22 -0000

Yep, you are right on #1 and #2 Charles! I think one of the problems is that people are following without checking out Bios first (I am guilty of this).

I am already following @Phaoloo (great tweets altho I don't get to catch his tweets LIVE often) and I just followed @BkMacDaddy! I am also consoled I am not the most talkative (was worried I was being an irritant), and I am happy when people respond, even if it is to a silly quote I tweet!

Twitter is so simple to use, unlike Facebook, there's nothing much else to really distract you (other than the DMs)! Simplicity is Twitter's advantage.

THANK YOU for blogging abt this and for the shoutout Charles! You rock!
