Quick video comparison of Ubervu to Topsy. They both track Twitter retweets, they both send trackback links.

Warm, brilliant, patient and funny. Heck of a guy shows in his stumbles.

From the page: "Hereâ€s a tip. Whenever you see everyone doing something, do the opposite and youâ€ll probably come out on top."

Not just a great stumbler. A Great Person.

"How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?" for a Project Manager job. I guess if I ever worked a regular job again it would NOT be at Google!

From the page: "other experts say there's not any solid research to back that up and that most children seem to use social-media sites in moderation, and in positive ways."

File this under "things about social media/networking that should be common knowledge". The absolute best, and to me the ONLY way to network is to provide value. What social media tools add to that is a way for the conversation to connect back to you without any extra work on your part.

Why have a signature file on Facebook when your profile is linked to everything you do? Why restrict yourself to tweeting your own links on Twitter when the conversation is what makes people want to visit you and know more about you? No one wants to buy from someone who is desperate to sell.

It's better to show what you know than tell it, and let people come to you instead of trying to choke their stream with your promotion. That's not to say you Never should. Just that it's far more effective to keep it to a minimum.

There are still many bloggers who are not actively supporting DoFollow, nor do they know what it is. If you're one of the ones who intends to continue the fight for equal link rights, sign up on Dane's blog.
