Keep the Classic Google Plus UI

By 2 Comments

Google Plus is again in Beta with some dramatic changes. I haven't openly commented three weeks ago, when they launched this version because it's an experiment. Google Plus architects claim it's based on people feedback. The thing is that people who gave feedback usually know how to complain for every constructive change trying to dump it asap, and when idiotic changes like this new UI interface appear, they "love it". It is incredible! Google Plus has never consulted the masses when it … [Read more...]

Are You Blocked on Twitter?

By Leave a Comment

I have over eight unfinished post projects at the moment (just here, not counting the other sites I own), my Alexa Rank is on a free downfall with figures, in Romania the corrupted Prime Minister resigned and along with him the whole executive resigned as well, and I am talking now about geeking Twitter. I have considered Google Plus very disappointing when they have repeatedly showed the grossest disrespect for its users, and that, coming from my favorite Social Media venue, was the reason why … [Read more...]

Twitter Tools of the Moment

By 1 Comment

I'm sure you know, or at least you remember that I greatly recommend HootSuite as one of the essential tools for Social Media in general, and for Twitter especially. But this post will mention again tweepi.com and manageflitter.com. I have re-discovered TweetDeck, now being integrated almost completely in Twitter, opening in your browser and authenticating you with your Twitter account, but I shall dedicate maybe some time to TweetDeck in another post. Now, this is about a few small things I … [Read more...]

The Art of Big Time Promoting

By 2 Comments

After a lot of fuss and apparently different marketing methods, The Art of Social Media - Power Tips for Power Users, last book authored by Guy Kawasaki, was launched in December 2014, but until now I couldn't find the time to touch it. It was a very easy read for me, mostly because I am familiar with what they talked in there. "They" meaning Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitzpatrick, his co-author, or better said, team mate, because the book was written only in Guy Kawasaki's voice. You can find and … [Read more...]

Google Plus – a Fall from Grace

By Leave a Comment

I have never considered myself a nagger regarding every single change in social media, I have always thought that every change is a new step through progress. I have rarely complained, but I have tried to highlight something wrong when I saw it. Of course, we can be more subjective than objective, but there are other factors that recently surfaced and they are based on some statistics. I'm very upset by the disrespect Google shows the users. Actually Google, a company who grew because of its … [Read more...]

Short Guide on Tsu

By Leave a Comment

I'm relatively new on Tsu, and now I'm very sorry I haven't joined earlier. Every day counts. I find Tsu as the most exciting social media site to date. That is because it’s full of young people who don’t give a penny to know how big a shot you are on Google Plus, that being the reason I haven’t even ever mentioned “you know me from G+”. It’s nice to find people you already know, at least at the beginning. Now, be careful, because I’ll let you know what I found in my first month there. I … [Read more...]
