Social Media. Is There Such A Thing As TMI?

I did something today that I haven't done in a long, long time. I either hid or outright unfriended two people on Facebook. Don't get me wrong. I've unfriended people before. Stalkers or people who are just outright obnoxious. This time, though, I dumped people out of my newsfeed that were …

Comments – SEO or Engagement

Word cloud for Web 2,0

Back when I first started blogging, I would check out a couple of sites that promised to let me know how to get thousands of people visiting my website. I would go to conferences and other workshops and the like. The goal, so I thought, was to get lots of lots of people coming to my blog and …

Yahoo and Tumblr – Did We Tell You or What?

OK. So I had no idea when I wrote this post back in March that Yahoo! would think that Tumblr was so cool, so hip and so irresistible as to want to pay $1.1 billion with a B for it. Nah. I was just thinking that it was a pretty cool place and that for people who were going to miss Posterous it …

Why I Stopped Using Foursquare

At first, I really liked Foursquare. And I wanted to be really cool.  So, I registered and started going gang busters with it. I checked in everywhere. Costco? Checked in. Grocery store? Checked in. Starbucks? Restaurants? Gas stations? Home Depot? Checked in. I also learned that it was …

How to add a custom thumbnail to your YouTube Video

When it comes to video, the one complaint I constantly hear is about the video thumbnail. "Oh why did they have to pick that one!" That's the Video Thumbnail they are talking about, also called the first frame.  It's the static image that shows on your video before the viewer clicks the play …

How NOT to Guest Post

Welcome to AreWeConnected, where I have my opinions and I'm not afraid to voice them. BUT What's better than listening or reading about Mike endlessly drabbling on how to do social media or technology right? Listening to the opinions and voices of others. That's maybe why I value my feed …

Channels of Conversation

I recently commented on a blog post where the writer argued that we should all keep the “Share with your Friends” buttons, but ditch the "Follow me on _______" Buttons. Guess what? I COMPLETELY DISAGREE! For the record the two work in polar opposites.  Let me use just twitter as an …

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
