I love it, very cool, very slick. Also glad to see some more options for the 125 x 125 OCC Ads (not a fan of the Green and Blue one)

1001 Noisy Cameras : Leaked Panasonic 3D camcorder HDC-SDT750 official (also: new TA1 camcorder stick)

ooo, will be interesting (a novelty) to use this camera. I wonder if one can view the 3D on a normal LCD screen with 3D glasses.

Christian Web Trends Blog by OurChurch.Com : Authentic or Not? Part 6: Syndicating Updates to Multiple Social Networks

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:36:11 +0000

hmm, I mean that for syndicating links from my blog. I have no idea about syndicating links from other people. as for syndicating my own thoughts across the spectrum - totally authentic

I have to say that it is Authentic - because I am a big proponent of it. It is the best way to share with your friends and followers. But honestly, I don't think that people see it as authentic - based on what I can see on Google Analytics. It almost cold calling for referrals.

Christian Web Trends Blog by OurChurch.Com : 7 Secrets of Running a Wildly Popular Blog

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 06:26:36 +0000

I am reading this book called "50 ways to make Google Love Your Website", the authors talk about the three pillars of visibility, Reputation and Relevance. Getting google to love you website/blog is maybe a workable process, but if people don't like your website/blog then they will leave. It seems that google also makes use of likability in determining relevance; so it does not really make long term sense to submit sites to traffic generators if people don't spend lots of time and investigation on your site.

likability is very important; it will be the reason why people will stay longer, come back, engage and share with others. I try very hard to get this right even for the technical nature in my blog - but I think I try too hard. While likability is very important - trying to be too likable can lead to the reversal - desperation, people can smell desperation - and when they do they bounce out.

Christian Web Trends Blog by OurChurch.Com : Authentic or Not? Part 5: Scheduled Tweets and Updates

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:16:27 +0000

I am a bit divided on this; while I think that it is border line "Ghost Tweeting" which I do not agree with, I do think that there are good reasons to schedule tweets. In my case most of my followers are half a dozen time zones away, so it is sometime useful for me schedule strategic tweets and to maybe let some automated services send updated blog post updates.

Michael Hyatt Blog : What to Do If Your Blog Is Dropped from Google Search

thanks, I signed up for the free pingdom account, a check every 5 mins is very nice of them

Michael Hyatt Blog : What to Do If Your Blog Is Dropped from Google Search

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:47:54 +0000

yeah, I know that there are free services out there that will check every hour if your site is access able. Surely there is google index and page rank monitor, should there be? I checked with analytics - one can set up an email alert for a certain metric that falls below a value - but I am sure that that will be an end of day alert.

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:00:58 +0000

wow, that is hectic. I have to say that I would suspect a hacker, hmmm - would a plugin in modify core files? I think a good thing to do would be to us some alert system, maybe something that gives you a daily report . I wonder if Google analytics can alert you when certain measured dimensions fall below a certain value (as apposed to above)

Stuff Christians Like - Jon Acuff : Becoming an expert on Africa after a 6-day mission trip.

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:22:27 +0000

The Lions were gathered up before the World Cup and kept in temporary enclosures, allowing the Buck to eat the grass off the runways. lol, no I have not met a Missionary expert, neither am I, although I lived in the middle of Africa for 3 years. Then when I was 3 yrs old my parents moved to South Africa, ha ha ha.

Michael Hyatt Blog : Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:34:33 +0000

I can't be creative, work really does suck, I'll rather be doing my passion; filmmaking. The book will be an interesting read to see how I can do something about my current situation (work) and what I can do for my future situation (filmmaking) - to rework my life and make it more fulfilling while I make my way to my dreams.
