They say Pinterest is drawing more traffic to a site than Facebook! Since I don't have a Facebook account, I don't know what to say. Not important at this stage, because Pinterest is not about self promotion, in my opinion. It's not like reddit, of course, where if some retard wants to troll you, you don't stand a chance, and again, if you're already famous somehow, you may post everything and people visit your submitted link even out of curiosity. I recently read an article written in August … [Read more...]
Aaron Swartz Died!
I was writing about India and Infosys when the news came as a flash on my reader. Of course it isn't "news" since this happened two days ago already, but it is of importance, because I'm a huge admirer or genuine talent and genius, especially so people oriented as Aaron was. Swartz was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment on January 11, 2013. Official Statement from the family and partner of Aaron Swartz Our beloved brother, son, friend, and partner Aaron Swartz hanged himself on … [Read more...]
10 Essential Things for Blogging
This is not the first time when I read with great pleasure, Neil Patel's advice. I have to say that lately, we are more and more on the same wavelength. I found myself a lot of tricks, and I applied also what I've seen here and there. I met unfortunately a lot of cheap advice, or even devious. Cheap advice is the bunch of e-mails you're going to fill your inbox with, if you subscribe to "Pamela and Wendy's Tips" to set up a Wordpress Blog, a pitch to sell you a very expensive "Site Setup Kit". … [Read more...]
Social Media Chronicles
I wish this to be the name of this category, actually, but this is not quite the main interest of the blog, which started with movies, life and facts. My total awe for Twitter made me speak about Social Media matters. I can't compete with Mashable, or with "specialists". They made a lot of friends already, and it's hard to show when some of the so called "specialists" tell nonsense. But, from time to time, I feel the urge to say a word, be it good, or be it critical. I want to be positive, I … [Read more...]
New Start on reddit
It was a time, one and a half years ago, when I grossly underestimated reddit, the social sharing site defined as "a source of what's new and popular on the web". I really haven't got it, but I've been hasty. I was submitting only my links, and what I've submitted from other sites I liked, wasn't much appreciated, mostly because I'm too direct in disapproving when I don't like something. It is not a lack of diplomacy, It's just that I'm bored with retarded or superficial minds. When I say … [Read more...]
The Other Social Media
You've seen, my good friends, the Cute Profiles plugin on my left side of the site, with a sort of non colored texture, coloring itself when you hover. Since I "don't Facebook", that icon is missing. I can say, "totally missing", but you may find it if you feel the urge to share something from my precious thoughts on Facebook, on your own profile, :) There is a button at the end of each post, actually there are more buttons there, from Shareaholic, another nice "sharing" plugin, which is … [Read more...]
