Microsoft is making a business decision that makes sense. For them. For those of us who prefer not to DRM our machines to death, XP is going to be around for some time to come. Most folks like us stopped using explorer long ago. This decisi

Yahoo has turned its home page into a minefield. You can hardly move the mouse without some huge ugly dialog popping up and interfering with your use of the site. I avoid the home page as much as possible at Yahoo, its a complete disaster.

I can guarantee you that if I ask 100 average non"hacker news" people what RSS stands for I will get a blank stare, but if I ask them about twitter.....

Maybe, but its a tech that is more understandable to the masses, than "RSS feed". You have to think like a typical client with a new phone. How many phones have a twitter client? RSS?

What you make of twitter depends upon how you seek value in its application. I run over 50 accounts for businesses and the key opportunity for customers isn't in tweeting endless streams of news links, or building huge follower list, or add

I graduated from Mechanical Turk to full timers about 2 years ago when our client load increased. Though SEO is a part of our work, the real money is in traffic. We achieve a better than 1/100th CPA cost with SMO as compared to PPC with Goo

In twitter they queue up several content messages a day and schedule them for release using hootsuite on our clients twitter sites. The staff also singles out friend and follower tweets and re-tweets them. And they respond to all @mentions

SMO != spam in every case. This is not the kind of stuff you spend one second banning since none of it is posted to your sites. It is strictly created by and for and posted on the sites owned by the clients. When you step out of the box and
