Posted at 1:27 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, lackofmeds, MSN, search engines, Social Media
Today CNN wrote a piece about the “‘Most dangerous’ celebs to search for online”. The article discussed which celebrity searches that were most likely to lead to sites infected with spyware. It was an interesting enough story, but what caught my eye were the two opening sentences: Be cautious if you plan to Bing Jessica [...]

Amazon Confirms: Shortened URL’s *Are* Allowed On Facebook and Twitter
Posted at 4:10 pm | Filed Under customer service, how-to, Social Media
Last week there was some commotion over the fact that it was being reported that Amazon.com was refusing to pay affiliates if they used url shortening services to post affiliate links on social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter. This actually makes no sense from a business perspective, since it would discourage people from [...]

Is Plagiarism Ok… If It Was An Accident?
Posted at 3:19 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, lackofmeds, Social Media, Wordpress
Last year I wrote this handy little script named EasyWP. It makes installing WordPress much easier for those without Fantastico or shell access, and is many times faster than having to upload all of the files individually. It’s very useful, especially if you install WordPress on a regular basis, or if you need to do [...]

Tonight Robert ‘I Am Thy Lord And Thou Shalt Kneel, Bitches!’ Scoble, a blogger who has some claim to internet fame through his blog Scobleizer, decided that the title of “technical evangelist” that has been often attributed him simply wasn’t enough, and that deity is apparently more fitting. Lisa Barone wrote a piece talking about [...]

Is Digg Trying To Tell Me Something?
Posted at 12:47 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, lackofmeds, nerdiness, Social Media
As far as CAPTCHA’s go, I think that the one that Digg.com uses for story submissions is fairly reasonable. It’s monochrome, decent contrast, and doesn’t try and get too fancy with out of focus characters or exotic fonts. Of course I have a preference for my own PuzzCAPTCHA as far as usability goes, but for [...]

I was looking through Digg the other day, when this image ad caught my eye for some reason. Something about it caught my attention, and I wasn’t quite sure what it was, so I took a closer look at it. It was subtle, and hard to figure out at first. The copy on the ad [...]

Wednesday TechCrunch posted an article about a new ad product launched by MediaWhiz. The name of the product is InLinks, and it involves people being able to purchase anchor rich text links embedded into content in a way that is supposed to give it a “natural” feel. Michael Arrington called the product “insidious”. His whole [...]

How To Remove Your Website From Linkscape *Without* An SEOmoz Meta Tag
Posted at 3:55 am | Filed Under blogthropology, lackofmeds, nerdiness, On The Ball-ness, psychoblogging, scams, SEO, Social Media, web design
Over the past couple of weeks, one of the biggest concerns about SEOmoz’s new Linkscape tool (which I recently blogged about in reference to the bots that Rand refuses to identify, and then again due to suspicious additions of a phantom 7 billion pages to one of his index sources) has been the complete lack [...]

How To Add 7 Billion Pages To Your Index Overnight
Posted at 3:22 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, Google, psychoblogging, scams, SEO, Social Media
A couple of days ago I posted my assertion that Rand Fishkin had lied about the details of the new Linkscape tool on SEOmoz. During the discussion that followed, Rand continued to maintain that they owned the bots that collected the data that powered the tool, despite several points on that being very unclear, and [...]
