C’mon Let’s Boldly Go …

Some nights on the interwebs can seem like we’ve embarked on the last frontier. Why not boldly go one step further and explore the explorer of science fiction world?
We might talk about

  • Sci-Fi Movies
  • Sci-Fi Books
  • E T

  • Joe’s Alien and Dr. Who

Oh, and bring example links.

Do be nice. đŸ™‚

Experts have talked about this before. How many times have you read about the importance of ‘adding value’ for your audience? How many times have you read about ‘building trust’ with your readers/prospects?

TwitTip
Now that Twitter has several million active users, it’s no surprise to see such a variety of people discussing a wide range of topics. But while the content of all those tweets may be so different, they ultimately fall roughly into five categories.

The Fine Art Of Balancing Your Twitter Conversations


Less Ordinary
Most Tuesdays I pay my grandparents a visit, and while I’m there I tend to take quite a few pics in my grandad’s garden. When I was there last week, as well as taking lots more photos of the beautiful flowers growing in the borders, pots and window boxes, I also took some shots in the greenhouse:

The way that UsefulTools is differentiating is through focus. By sacrificing the news, gossip and editorial, and aiming just for the review slice of the pie, they will stand out. Also, and this is just my hope, they will avoid the echo-chamber and TechMeme chasing behavior of some of the other blogs out there!

The Mic Is On: Glenda Watson Hyatt Is Talking About Accessibility

May 19, 2009 by Liz

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

With Guest Host Glenda Watson Hyatt

How POUR Is Your Blog?

Blogs need to be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust.

  • Have you ever tried working without your mouse?
  • Are your tags written for readers who can’t see the pictures they mark?
  • Does content work across all operating systems and mobile devices?
  • How can you put your community at the center of your blog?

Join us tonight and bring links and your questions to add to the discussion.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. đŸ™‚
