Google seems to be broken. “This site may harm your computer” on every result, no matter the search. #googlefail
Skype packet loss seems to not be related to wifi. Same via ethernet. Is it the router? Is it the MBP? Thoughts?
Watched “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People”. Cute, funny, silly. Nice watch.
If your old site had 20 pages and your new one has 200 page views will go up, time on site will go up but do ppl find answers or preservere?
Does anyone have tips on getting skype to work better on mac via wifi or am I doomed to Cat5?
I’d suggest you need to account for bounces, number of pages on new site vs. old and how easy it is for people to get info they want. [2/2]
I mentioned yesterday I’d start posting small biz tips but I love answering questions.
I was looking at a site that made an argument that an incerease in pageviews and time on site is an argument for success. [1/2]
Have you ever come across issues where editors on WIkipedia flag a legitimate subject for deletion repeatedly via poor policy interpretation
Why is Colleen Jones on Newsworld in the afternoon? Why have I not had a shower yet? Ahh life in the warp.
BTW #podcamphfx presenters. I am not criticizing you for your brevity but sharing my desire to make a more informed decision on what 2 see.
Blogo is a no go for at least one blog I have. Ecto works well. Maybe version next.
Is there a blog post app (for mac) that has built in image resizing (to resize pre upload). This blog doesn’t /can’t use flickr?
#followfriday @SpiderVideo, @RyanDeschamps, @brightwhite, @joelkelly, @jangles
Working on updating a client site–the last of the static sites I manage. I rarely enjoy working on it now even though it is my fav. client.
Does your product or brand have evangelists or cheeleaders? Why not reward them with advance, insider information.
Pardon me. NOW some coffee.
Morning all. Couldn’t sleep so I am up. @6:50AM No some coffee.
Off to watch XFiles S8 (really enjoying the rewatch of the series. I like agent Dogget now; miss the Mulder Skully humor in the early eps)
If you are looking at marketing to a niche check to see if alltop.com is tracking the niche (#alltop)
Can’t wait to rewatch @andrewbaron’s keynote from #podcamphfx (nudge nudge wink wink to @SpiderVideo and maybe @bitdepth(?))
Mac Blog Apps which one? Ecto, MarsEdit, BlogThing?
OMT (One more tweet). I think I will start posting some real tactics for stretching the small business marketing budget tomorrow.
Okay last time. I know lots, understand some and constantly study but I claim no expert status. It is earned not declared.
I’m off the internets for now. Paper in hand. Brain is in cold-caused fog.
So that tweet from entrepreneur.com must be for ppl who don’t use the internet. Item 4 was “Create a Website” as a tactic to market. [Duh!]
Bootstrapping finds its way to Entrepreneur.com: 7 Ways to Stretch Your Marketing Budget http://is.gd/hHBD
The last tweet about the Entrepreneur.com article
If you are using the default WP template (K2) your site looks like a bot/scraper not a real blog. Especially if you are a business.
Consensus is paper beats digital for thoughts and planning. What are you using?
RT @mayhemstudios: Twitter isn’t email. http://tr.im/cv07 [No effing kidding]
Do you plan/think better on paper or some sort of app. I’ve finally decided its a notebook for me. What about you?
I have a cold (hell the whole household is sick with one) and I can’t think clearly to work today. Will do some paper planning.
Leftover Kamut spaghetti and meatballs + twitter = lunch today.
Has anyone seen the NetZero commercial; “save $300/yr personally by switching from broadband to NZ dialup.”
RT @Merlene: RT: @unmarketing Daily reminder to read other tweets and comment/reply/retweet. Nothing about you. Build, interact, give.

Trying to isolate source of significant packet loss, MBP, Router , Wifi or settings. My Skype is unusable.
Just noticed slight changes to the Gmail Apps Premiere UI. Nice.
Off to watch 2 hours of LOST. Tweet y’all tomorrow!
alyssagregory Go for it. Also make sure you join the forums. No n00b haters and replies w/in 2hours for most Qs.
I just want to give a warm welcome to all my new tweeps from Halifax, NS and area. @me I don’t bite but I might talk about myself.
I just realized I ought to put some pants on. Tea, then HST return and planning.
Musing here: Can the Halifax Pop Explosion and #podcamphfx somehow sync. in some way? Seems like some potential there.
Why do ppl say that spending is a Liberal party M.O. History has shown us that CDN Liberal gov’ts are typically fiscally conservative.
So spirited by #podcamphfx that I’d like to get more writers, music folks, theatre, trad marketing and advertising ppl together.
Conservative government does what all conservative NA gov’ts do. Call spending is socialist and then spend and insulate gov’t jobs.
