Do You Follow Everyone On Twitter?

By Midori | Posted in Featured News |

What a stalker I am…I mean following close to 2,000 people or twits which ever you prefer.  I know…I know..the experts say……You don’t have to follow back…and they are right!
But I did..I was an equal opportunity twit!
Today, I thought I would take a look at all the people I am following…its clear not a hot idea to just accept everyone…as a matter of fact..for some I know we would not connect in everyday life so why would I connect with you there?
I don’t mean distance…interests or lack of,   products and services that I will never use and most of all the lack of connection.
Then there are those that are banned already! icon smile Do You Follow Everyone On Twitter?

So today I won’t be following anyone new instead…I’ll be unfollowing some!
Do you follow everyone on twitter? I just wonder.. how’s it working for you?  Because for me it’s not…  That is why I do not use twitter as often as I should.  It seems too much trouble to have to wade through a lot of droppings to get to the good stuff!                           @ midorimiller

Social Networking-Link Baby Link!

It’s an interesting thing…many write…but do not  link…for me I have to reference…past posts…because no matter how you slice it…Blogging…Social Networking..is marketing too!

social networks logos 150x150 Social Networking Link Baby Link!

I’ve had my hand slapped for self promoting…by one silent blogger…

But for every one of those hand slapping bloggers..there are many who appreciate the extra links… and don’t get offended by the self promotion…

After all that is what most bloggers are trying to accomplish…

Readers..Friends..Business..and opportunities..

Get Your Name Out…its a huge blogosphere and you want a piece of it, right?

Take into consideration..how many utilize the net…every day…every hour…every minute..

My goal everyday is to see…..at least 100 readers a day…so if I can’t get in one blog post…

There might be two…but just because you may have under 100 readers in a day…doesn’t mean people are not reading…..

I can tell you…

People sit on blogs and read a few pages if the posts are interesting…

If you provide a wealth of information..

I can assure you if you offer links to your past posts many of your readers will appreciate them…read them…and there is a good chance…

They will come back for more.

* Why not help it along…and link to some of your older posts…after all google loves it!

* Remember everyday new people join all of our social networks that we belong too

* Less than 1% leave comments…that tells me many are reading.  Be smart…make your blogging work for you and Link Baby Link!

Technorati

By Midori | Posted in Business |

There seems to be an issue with my technorati account..it seems that my once claimed blogs are no longer claimed?

The compute r scientist insisted I not touch anything and just wait it out but being the impatient woman that I am I contacted support...I didn’t expect to hear anything for at least 24 to 48 hours but to my surprise I got a response within an hour.

Technorati support gives quick responses…I just hope they can fix my account as quickly as they responded!

I tried to claim my blogs once again but the message I recieved….

“Sorry, Technorati’s claim service is down for the moment. We’ll have it back up and running as soon as possible.”

Am I alone or is this happening to others?

Some of my favorite WordPress plug-ins...while there is a huge selection to choose from I thought I would mention a few.   For now these seem to fit my needs and are easy to add and use.

  • Out-of-the-box SEO for your WordPress blogs- Yes I love this plug-in…all you have to do is add your title, tags and a description and then watch your SEO soar-By Michael Torbert.
  • Retrieves your DandyID online identities and displays them as clickable links in your sidebar- OK, if you are anything like me and enjoy social networking there is a good chance you have profiles all over the net.  And while we all tend to gravitate to our favorite networks where we are the most active.  This little plug-in is by far one of my favorites.  It’s a reminder to check all of your social networks.  For others its a great way to see where you are and possibly connect!- By Neil Simon, Sara Czyzewicz, Arron Kallenberg, Dan Perron, Anthony Dimitre.
  • Tweets your published posts- I admit I love some automation and in truth no one can be everything to everyone-If I didn’t have this plug in I would have to visit twitter every time I post and sometimes I can’t!-By Carlos Pena.
  • IntenseDebate Comments enhance and encourage conversation on your blog or website. Full comment and account data sync between IntenseDebate and WordPress ensures that you will always have your comments.    I like the fact you can reply within each comment-By IntenseDebate & Automattic.

These are a few of the wordpress plug-ins that I use and one thing I have to say to all the briliant minds who created this stuff!  Is thank you and its amazing to me…it’s FREE!  And as each one would probably tell me…feel free to donate! icon smile Midori Shares Favorite Wordpress Plugins
