Google Local Presents Usability Issues
Any search engine marketer who has attempted to register their client’s business web site with Google Local Business is met with some serious usability roadblocks. Google put into place several security and privacy steps, but they come at a price.
Before a listing is accepted, Google must call the business to verify they want their listing published. If you are the site owner and you’re entering your business information, you are likely also near a phone. When the automated phone call is placed, you’re there to answer it, retrieve the code it assigns you and finish your online application.
How Social Networking Responds to Death
At Cre8asiteforums, we’re discussing the Internet response to celebrity deaths. What some of us saw early on, particularly in the case of Michael Jackson, was a mix of shock and grief and a sudden vile response. If you didn’t present the “correct” opinion in Twitter, you could risk being “unfollowed”.
Participants in The Internet Response To Michael Jackson’s Sudden Death bring a variety of experiences from all over the world.
For many, the Internet was NOT the place to go for any kind of solace or even factual information. It is, however, where millions went at first and many sites crashed as a result.
Does Social Networking Create Change?
A great debate is taking place in Cre8asiteforums on social media, social networking, human behavior, societal change and whether “awareness” is mistaken for actual change.”
Ruud Hein starts off the Opinion: Media, Social Or Not, Does Not Cause Change by referring to how the latest Iranian political situation is being communicated “live” via Twitter.
Some of the discussion:
I repeated a story I’d heard on the news about an elderly couple who were spending the night on their roof when the quakes started. They struggled to hold hands and keep from being separated as their building pancaked, but after the quake the husband was left to tell the tale and the wife had slipped out of his grasp and been swallowed by rubble. I told him it brought tears to my eyes.
Thought Leader Series Features Cre8asiteforums Founder
One way to get people to notice you is to offer to interview them. I was referred to the Wildfire Marketing Group by a good friend who suggested me as prospect for their Thought Leader interview series.
The interview, Thought Leader Thursday – Kim Krause Berg, ran today. It’s not real long. The topic is usability and seo. While there, you may enjoy the other interviews they posted.
Customize WordPress Greetbox
I was alerted the other day about a way to customize the WP Greetbox to be used for targeted ad placement by the author of Turn WP Greet Box Into Your Own Targeted Ad Program.
I decided to take a look and ended up adding it to mine and a client’s blog. I didn’t customize for ad placement but did mess around with settings to create custom greetings. For some reason, I couldn’t get it to render properly on my blog but it worked gracefully on my client’s site. Both are Thesis themes. I removed mine until I have time to figure out what happened.
