   Yes, but that's not a 1-man job. And that company is EXTREMELY smart. It may sound stupid to compete with yourself, but what about 'owning' a google search term? Good SEO on all 3 sites may result in 3 top 10 rankings for a single product,

   You should be thinking about SEO (at least partially) with any content-driven site you launch. There is also much more to SEO than just friendly titles and URLs, but that's always a good place to start. For most startups SEO is normally han

   Good list of startups, but I think more metrics are needed than just Alexa rank (who still uses the alexa toolbar?)

   No offense taken. I'm going to edit it up and throw in my previous comment right now at the bottom of the post. Thanks for the feedback.

   Totally agree with both of you guys (and yes the comment was crude - I can be an asshole). I agree, looking back the post would've been better minus the 'How' - but it was really as simple as I stated in the post. Leveraging social media to

   Email rumors are so 2001. If he wanted to do it correctly he should've hacked into his roommate's Facebook account and changed his sexual preference.

    'Get a Girlfriend' isn't as easy as it sounds for everyone. I'd say get a dog to start with. I got a dog last September and I can't imagine getting rid of him now. It just makes life more worth living. You wake up in the morning a bit happi

    They obviously need to have some measures in place - of what is acceptable and what isn't. That doesn't mean you need a degree to do the job. And I'm an SEO/Marketing Consultant.

    As much as I was against the DiggBar, I'm going to keep it enabled in my Digg account. I find it extremely useful - as I do the Reddit bar (which is essentially the same thing with a better implementation). I just believed it shouldn't be t

    I'm just going to come right out and say it: No tabs = fucking insane. I haven't tried it but I don't want my browser to navigate like iTunes. Then again, it's just a mockup. Should be interesting to see where they go in the future though.

    I get friends to use it by basically showing them my twitter and how you can update/chat with people. And then I show them Ping.fm so they can update their Facebook and Twitter at the same time. I've only converted a few so far, but the one

    I'm running Win7 on the low-spec'd 'home' computer that the rest of the family uses - 1.8ghz Sempron, 1GB ram - and it works surprisingly well. I think it's got the best of Vista and XP and less of the garbage we hate. I think it will be su

    Love it: http://digg.com/d1oNOZ For some reason I like this method better than frame-busting. To make it useful you could add a link to your homepage on there.

    Frame-breaking code redirects the user to the proper url. So traffic may still go to the digg.com/whatever page but it will redirect to the original site.

    The thing that really pisses me off is that Digg struck a deal with Twhirl/Seesmic - Digg.com is the DEFAULT url shortener in the latest version of Twhirl. I'm adding some frame killing code to any of my content sites that have been on digg
