I have been spending most of my twitter time on The Pet Wiki‘s Twitter account. I have been neglecting my own account. I never stopped reading the tweets, but now I’m starting to put what I’ve learned from The Pet Wiki’s account into my personal account. It’s a whole different set of people. In some […]
Pretty scary. I came home after a long day and got ready to do my nightly tweeting. I turned on my computer and started up TweetDeck – my tweeting tool of choice and tried to log in. TweetDeck kept throwing errors about the log-in. I think tried to go to Twitter on the web, and […]
Over the short life of The Pet Wiki, we’ve had a couple of contributors here and there, but we haven’t had anyone (not including my mom) who have felt compelled to add content. I’m working on a new strategy. I’m going to tweet to people about specific issues that interest them. I’ve mad friends with […]
I’m looking forward to SMX Advanced in Seattle next month. Last year’s conference went a bit off course, IMO, with an over-focus on “Black Hat” SEO. I’m not an expert, but I nonetheless need to attack two myths: Myth 1: There’s No Room for Morality in SEO SEO expert Todd Mallicoat wrote the following post: […]
I wonder if and when saying that we’ve gotten another 100 followers on twitter is no big deal. I find it very exciting to see the number climb.

The other day I was surprised to hear my daughter singing Harry Chapin’s Dreams Go By, a song written by a guy who died about a dozen years before my daughter was born. Then I remembered that her mom put a bunch of our old CDs on my daughter’s iPod. We talked about the song […]
I’m having a problem keeping up with my mom. She has written some wonderful pages on The Pet Wiki about pet care. Here are some of them: How can I save my pets when disaster hits? Where can I take my dog on vacation? What foods are unsafe for pets to eat? How do I keep […]
I still haven’t had time to work on the development of a new interface for The Pet Wiki. I’ve been busy with so many other things, and needing to share a computer really hasn’t help. I won’t be doing much this week, but I finish this semester at school on Friday, so my time will […]
We have now over400 followers on our twitter account. I know that we could get a ton more if we were willing to follow the world. It seems that there is a group of people out there that think you should follow everyone that follows you. I don’t think that that makes sense for a tight knit community, […]
One of the many asinine word plays that always bothered me is “there’s no I in Team.” OK, that’s true. It’s also true that anybody who makes decisions based on verbal coincidences should be distanced as far as possible from any decision making process. My equally asinine rebuttal is that the difference between a losing […]
