So, I wrote some SEO content today. Mmmm…content. What else? Fed my virtual dog on Facebook. Got very into Twitter. I'm finally starting to get how these tools work.
First of all, let me say why I love Twitter: Every time BBC World News starts a new program, I get a message. Every time NPR posts a political story, I get a message. I can either ignore or listen, but either way there's no effort on my part to open Google Reader, check an RSS feed, or otherwise bother myself. I’ve also discovered four new Etsy shops, including one that sells soap that I am completely in love with now.
It’s kind of like delicious meets IM…. Personally, I’m not as into the bloggy-IM aspect of it, but maybe it’ll grow on me. I just don't think I have that much to say. Either way, loving it. I just need to find a good all-in-one app that pulls everything together. Suggestions welcome. (jkerr at vevimedia.com)
So now that I use Twitter, I don’t understand why some major news orgs (yeah, I’m looking at you Washington Post) don’t have Twitter feeds. My favorite so far are NYT, NPR, and BBC — all break their Tweets down by topic/program so you can choose which feeds to follow.
I’m telling you. It's a time saver. Even though now I’m constantly saying, “ooh, new audio!” or “ooh, cute crafty link!” hah
I’m sure there’s more to say. Oh. Check out Crawford if you have time. There are so many good docs going straight to web lately I don’t even know where to start. Thoughts?
