Twice now I have personally seen private conversations that Matt has had with webmasters appear on the net, personally I’m in two minds on this.

So this is good news for SEO’s that haven’t fucked Matt over by publishing private convos. It will do one of 2 things….one it will make Matt much more wary of helping or at least talking about spam issues with people that have outed him in the past, secondly it may even stop him trusting anyone new, either way this is bad for the SEO industry in General

What’s really really bad for the industry, is that Google is the most powerful provider of traffic, and yes I take shots at them all the time, but I will defend the people that work there, or have worked there, to the hilt people like Matt, Aaron, Evan, Maile, Amanda, Vanessa, Mike etc etc.. why because it’s just their Jobs / Careers that you are fucking about with. I have seen People get quoted for saying things that they didn’t, but still these people put themselves in the most vulnerable position possible talking to webmasters that would stab you in the back to get a few links!

Sorry Rand I know it’s no great loss, I think personally you have a great Team and I like you a lot but I don’t want that crap in my RSS.. people often ask me why I don’t actively participate in Forums, Personal attacks on my friends are my Achilles heal ..

Google Knol gets its debut. It’s about time Wikipedia had a competitor especially one that gives topic specific articles by leading experts. Monetisation looks key to the Knols too allowing authors to run ads with the articles and in addition high levels of prominence to the author. Such highlighting of authors is bound to get people noticed. Levels of success could be down to Knol working in conjunction with Wiki.

Did I just hear the sky installer correctly, if I run my SKY HD in 720p it will most probably burn out the box and tv.. great start to the day !

You certainly have to be thick skinned in this industry, every so often I get a torrent of abuse, mostly I just delete it, some I store, some I have had to report to the police, but a recent batch of comments that did not get published was the most interesting to date, a few sentences of the normal stuff I’m going to kick your head in and stamp on your balls, blah blah, then what shocked me  the most was :

f*ck you, you gay c*nt,.. I’m even going to show you how gay you are I’m going to stick my cock inside your fat arse and video your moaning so that everyone can see your gay …

Just not sure how to react to this, maybe try lube from on ..

Flipping phone woes…. why not swap it out with Flipswap ?

We just had a call from one of our SEO clients who was advising us they would be late for their appointment this afternoon. The reason for this coincides nicely with Dave’s previous post on the HTC Diamond Touch. The laptop they needed was back in their hotel room, simple you may think but not when your hotel room key card has been placed in the same pocket as your HTC Diamond. The phone rendered the magnetic hotel door key card useless, leaving the client calling reception from the hallway unable to get back into their room.

Im beginning to wonder if both Dave and the client shouldn’t be looking into Flipswap

Im not sure the phone deserves a “second life” but surely trading is the way to go rather than just placing it in a drawer somewhere. Flipswap  enables you to get paid for your old phone.

1) it’s does not delete emails off the mail server when you empty deleted items. So when you get back to the office you still have to collect and delete the emails again..

2) it also destroys the information stored on Credit Cards and Room Keys.. just found out why!

Only out of respect for Matt Cutts as a friend, I have played nice I didn’t do what I first thought about. Most people can easily setup a monitoring script, so when I see Tinyurl and loads of other redirectors like bit.ly, I get a notification, and then decide what to do:

if refer = bit.ly/2vmSAz

send TO 2 GIRLS ONE CUP ( NOT SAVE FOR WORK )

Else

SEND TO Davidnaylor article

EndIF

How many people would have wondered what the hell Matt was doing sending people to a porn site or worse :)

URL redirectors can always be bounced on again :) so my tip is use this feature in tinyurl

At least the people can see where you are sending them !!!

I totally agree with graywolf comments on blogher even if he is a awesome linkbait specialist  .. so

b) We all go to BlogHer next year and Party :)

This is all over the UK at the moment the fact that Christian Bale was arrested in London.Although no one knew it when he attended the London premiere of Batman - The Dark Knight which I’m off to watch soon :)

But apparently he assaulted his mother and sister the night before. I always said you can’t choose your family ,, lol

btw I have been going to the cinema loads recently really like “Wanted” and the 3D version of “Journey to the Centre of the Earth”, but if you want a good laugh go and see “Kung Fu Panda”
