This is harder than picking out a tattoo. <p class="MsoNormal">I have a pretty simple blog post here. What’s a good Facebook vanity URL? We only have a couple days to decide but it’s sort of like getting a tattoo in that it’s permanent. Will your Facebook URL get saggy, wrinkly and hairy? Will you want to remove it with a laser when you get older?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Seriously what are you going to pick and why?

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:41:28 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1112729/so-what-s-a-good-facebook-vanity-url-this-is-harder-than-picking-out-a-tattoo- http://activerain.com/blogsview/1100245/bing-not-a-google-killer-but-maybe-offers-something-else-unique Bing – Not a Google Killer but maybe offers something else unique <p class="MsoNormal">There have been a few new search engines lately and all the hype in the world doesn’t seem to add up when the engine itself doesn’t really do much (wolfram Alpha for instance) it seems nearly impossible of a search engine to actually replace Google. There have been plenty of articles talking about this topic recently but it all boils down to what you like and I like Google. I know how it works and I know what results to expect. I tried Yahoo the other week when Google was down for a few hours and I didn’t like it. I got weird results and that’s not what you want. So Bing comes a long and it’s supposed to shake things up a bit. Ok let’s see what it can do then. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Here are a few articles directly comparing Google and Bing.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/02/search-smackdown-bing-vs-google/">http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/02/search-smackdown-bing-vs-google/</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.loiclemeur.com/english/2009/06/hello-bing-i-am-loic.html">http://www.loiclemeur.com/english/2009/06/hello-bing-i-am-loic.html</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/05/31/go-bing-yourself-right-now/">http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/05/31/go-bing-yourself-right-now/</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">There are some obvious differences in the results. I don’t know if those articles cover this but Microsoft has already been caught cheating the results and not showing competitors. For instance do a search for Apple or Macintosh and they are tweaking the results and limiting what you see and to me that is petty and a hindrance. Do I want to be using a search engine that I know gives faulty results? Nope.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">But one of the most important new features of Bing is the video capability. Bing provides playable thumbnails in results and is just one step ahead of Google in this area. This is the universal search that everyone in the SEO world has been talking about and Bing is doing it now. There are some interesting consequences of this that are detailed below. You might want to be an adult to see what I mean.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/01/badda-bing-indeed/">http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/01/badda-bing-indeed/</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">An interesting test of the video aspect is to perform a local search for video and see (if you are doing video) where your videos stack up in results.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Overall I see Bing as a good thing since it will force Google into coming out with new features but I don’t see it replacing it or even taking a large market share.

Of course that’s really cool if you are on the go with a mobile phone and need directions. This feature is pretty cool and will hopefully lead more people to businesses easier than ever.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Bing a new search engine from Microsoft just released their own 411 service to directly compete with Google’s. I have mixed feelings about Bing in general (I think it’s mostly useless when compared to Google but hey competition is good right?) <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/01/now-you-also-can-call-bing-411/">but Bing seems to have some cool stuff</a> like “local business listings, as well as local traffic, weather, and movie listings” </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Check out the links for more information on both of these 411 services.

All they did was put in some analytics and suddenly I realized how powerful local business center is. I took out my own stats because I know competitors are reading my blog but on a day to day basis I can see that literally hundreds of people are given an impression and a link to my site. That’s good news for me. I think a lot of people fail to see how important analytics can be for their websites. Some people dismiss this as someone who is just too focused on stats and how many people come to their site but really analytics is a lot more than sheer numbers. This was the first time I got to see how mine were doing and I can see that I have far more impressions than actual clicks. There could be a variety of reasons for that but of course you have to consider that this is almost always horribly skewed. But taking a look at <i style="">how</i> someone found my result can hopefully lead to <i style="">why</i> they clicked on the result. Being able to control why is the key. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">To see what it looks like log in to your Google account and go to local business center</b>.

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 09:41:47 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1100188/google-unveils-analytics-for-local-business-center http://activerain.com/blogsview/1100164/your-website-might-have-been-hacked-40-000-sites-affected Your website might have been hacked – 40,000+ sites affected <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=security&articleId=9133820&taxonomyId=17&intsrc=kc_top">Yup those hackers are at it again and it appears that 40,000+ sites have been hacked.</a> The article has all the details as to how they did it. The problem when these types of attacks occur is that it’s not always easy to spot the hack. In this case people coming to your site are redirected to several other sites. You should go to your site now to see if that is the case. IF you ever see anything that seems fishy it’s better to play it safe, after all people rely on your site as a safe place to be and if it becomes no longer trust worthy you could see a significant impact on the number of people who use your site. This really seems unfair but that’s just how things are in the internet world. Security is a very hard thing on websites and depending on how popular your site is it can really become a target for hackers. They want either big sites with a ton of visitors who they can in turn infect with whatever malicious application they dream up or generate traffic to a site of their choosing to in turn generate income. There is a lot to this sort of thing. Sometimes they want low traffic volume sites that they subtly change because the owner of the site would never notice. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">What can you do about this?</b> Unless you are a security expert there is probably not much you can do on your own. I would highly suggest if you think your site is affected to take this very seriously and see if you can hire someone to fix it. It could end up costing you quite a bit but think of the impact if you don’t fix this. </p> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><small>Looking for <a name="Eau_Claire_Homes_For_Sale"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="homes for sale in Eau Claire">Eau Claire Homes For Sale</a>?</small></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <small>Check out my <a name="Eau_Claire_Real_Estate_Agent_Website"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="eau claire real estate agent website">Eau Claire Real Estate Agent Website</a>!</small></div> <p style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><big><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have something to say please leave a comment.

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 09:17:14 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1100164/your-website-might-have-been-hacked-40-000-sites-affected http://activerain.com/blogsview/1100125/i-hope-you-didn-t-pay-someone-to-page-sculpt-your-website-google-poked-a-stick-in-it-seo-update I hope you didn’t pay someone to page sculpt your website – Google poked a stick in it – SEO update <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">If you are into SEO then you probably have heard of page sculpting</b> (<a href="http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=page+sculpting&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g1&=Google+Search&=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&fp=1mZ_-PL2Zjc">you can check out this link to see how all the top SEO sites basically recommend doing it</a>). In short it’s the art of trying to control page rank to ensure that only the pages you select for a high page rank receive page rank from your home page. It basically involves putting a series of “no follows” throughout your site to make sure Google bots don’t follow links to all your interior pages. I remember reading hundreds of articles telling you to do this but I also remember reading one that said it’s pointless. I am really glad I came across that last article. The reason it’s pointless is that if you have a menu system (what good website doesn’t?) then you are already leaking page rank to all your interior pages because you link to them from your home page. Some people were actually limiting site navigation in order to better sculpt their sites. In short they were focusing more on what Google might think of their site rather than making it better to navigate it for humans. I know some sites even said not to link to more obscure interior pages and only use interior links sparingly. To me this seemed counterintuitive to everything else I had learned about SEO and the golden rule of SEO is always don’t do something for bots, instead focus on humans.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://searchengineland.com/google-loses-backwards-compatibility-on-paid-link-blocking-pagerank-sculpting-20408">Well a new article says that Google has basically backtracked</a> on their policy and apparently this is a first. They warned not to undo the page sculpting for now until the news is finalized but it looks as if you don’t want to page sculpt at all. It might mean that shortly however many thousands you paid to an SEO company to do this to your site be for nothing and having to pay thousands more to undo all the work. Long story short the page sculpting might have a huge negative effect on your overall SEO for your site by Google automating how the “juice” is spread around. If you put in no follows it might effectively short change your site. That can’t be good and that’s why I said I am so glad I didn’t worry about this with my site. It would mean going back through hundreds of links to make sure that everything is ok.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">Apparently in 2007 Matt Cutts said this was more</b> or less something to do (so everyone in the SEO community for the most part jumped on the bandwagon) and now he says not to do it. <span style="font-weight: bold;">OUCH!</span><br> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1047380/youtube-getting-more-social-more-viral-possibilities-more-google-bombs-"> </a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><small>Looking for <a name="Eau_Claire_Homes_For_Sale"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="homes for sale in Eau Claire">Eau Claire Homes For Sale</a>?</small></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <small>Check out my <a name="Eau_Claire_Real_Estate_Agent_Website"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="eau claire real estate agent website">Eau Claire Real Estate Agent Website</a>!</small></div> <p style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><big><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have something to say please leave a comment.

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:48:47 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1100125/i-hope-you-didn-t-pay-someone-to-page-sculpt-your-website-google-poked-a-stick-in-it-seo-update http://activerain.com/blogsview/1100095/youtube-is-coming-to-your-tv-another-reason-to-get-on-youtube- YouTube is coming to Your TV – another reason to get on YouTube! <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">The new service is called YouTube XL and you can see it here <a href="http://www.youtube.com/xl">http://www.youtube.com/xl</a>.</b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">To be honest this seems pretty coo</b>l and it must be an obvious push to answer the question “when is YouTube going to start making some money” of course that would mean ad revenue but what can it mean for the real estate industry?<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ogormask"><img src="http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee156/ogormask/ShaneOGormanYoutubeProfilebadge.jpg" alt="Shane O'Gorman on YouTube!" style="border: 0px solid ; width: 194px; height: 71px; float: right;"></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">Well this is purely speculation on my part </b>but I like breaking out the crystal ball and guessing as to what the future holds. I imagine that once real estate as an industry really takes a stronger hold on YouTube that more and more people will naturally go there for information on buying and selling, choosing an agent, finding a good inspector, the entire buying process, tips on selling, how to stage your home, etc. This of course assumes that those in the industry start filling YouTube with great content that consumers would be looking for. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">I am sure you have a “real estate channel”</b> on your local cable station and I am also sure you realize the suckiness of these channels. The biggest suckiest part of these channels is that it costs an extreme amount of money to even put content on them. Well that’s because the cable companies enjoy a monopoly and those with the means of production and distribution especially in a monopoly situation means they can fix prices; hence the overpriced suckitude of cable advertising. But that would not be the case with a YouTube real estate channel. For the most part you would be able to make videos for free and distribute them for free and reach an even wider audience than cable can <b style="">for free!</b> The problem here is that cable and other ISPS are one step ahead of the consumer and are doing everything in their vast power to limit access to this type of thing. There is a huge battle going on right now that you probably aren’t even aware of. Your cable company does not want you to watch TV on the internet. They don’t want you to get anything for free. They want you stuck using their corporate controlled monopoly with limited access and service and charge you an insane amount of money. Hopefully the FCC steps in and fixes the situation.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">In the meantime I would (as I always suggest)</b> take YouTube very seriously and start (if you have not started) putting up some really good content. Established content will become featured content and featured content will get you noticed. All it takes is a little vision on your part and a dash of motivation.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/ogormask">my Youtube channel</a> and be my friend on Youtube. <a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1047380/youtube-getting-more-social-more-viral-possibilities-more-google-bombs-">Check out my post here as to why you want friends on Youtube.</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1047380/youtube-getting-more-social-more-viral-possibilities-more-google-bombs-"> </a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><small>Looking for <a name="Eau_Claire_Homes_For_Sale"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="homes for sale in Eau Claire">Eau Claire Homes For Sale</a>?</small></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <small>Check out my <a name="Eau_Claire_Real_Estate_Agent_Website"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="eau claire real estate agent website">Eau Claire Real Estate Agent Website</a>!</small></div> <p style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><big><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have something to say please leave a comment.

Be careful what you wish for! Worm on the loose… <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In case you haven’t heard there is a new worm running around and it seems to be spreading pretty quick. I guess that makes sense given that it preys on people looking for more followers on Twitter and given the nature of Twitter and the majority of its users wanting more followers. <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/05/26/warning-twittercut-worm-plays-on-peoples-desire-for-more-followers/">You can read more about the worm here</a>. The big warning and lesson of course is be careful what you wish for, don’t click on links you don’t trust and don’t EVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORDS TO ANYONE. This includes entering your login details on any site that you are not 100% positive it’s the real deal. I am not going to link to the sites in the article but you can imagine. Some of these fake sites look realer than others and I guess they typically prey on people not paying attention.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><small>Looking for <a name="Eau_Claire_Homes_For_Sale"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="homes for sale in Eau Claire">Eau Claire Homes For Sale</a>?</small></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <small>Check out my <a name="Eau_Claire_Real_Estate_Agent_Website"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="eau claire real estate agent website">Eau Claire Real Estate Agent Website</a>!</small></div> <p style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><big><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have something to say please leave a comment.

I know there was a lot of hype over BPA and water bottles recently but it’s also found in a lot more places than that and it turns out it’s much easier to get into your body than previously thought. If it’s that bad for you or babies it’s hard to say at this point but the article points out that heating up baby bottles made of BPA could lead to even more BPA being released which could be really bad for infants. I don’t want to try to scare anyone but it’s something that you should consider especially since it’s not limited to just plastic products (aluminum cans apparently as well)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><small>Looking for <a name="Eau_Claire_Homes_For_Sale"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="homes for sale in Eau Claire">Eau Claire Homes For Sale</a>?</small></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <small>Check out my <a name="Eau_Claire_Real_Estate_Agent_Website"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="eau claire real estate agent website">Eau Claire Real Estate Agent Website</a>!</small></div> <p style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><big><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have something to say please leave a comment.

Call me strange for having so many computers or computer like devices but I don’t think I am alone here. I need to get all my contacts, emails, etc all stored in a central place. Why? Because when disaster strikes what do you have left?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Yesterday my office computer broke</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">. I don’t know how it happened and yes it’s under warranty but not having an office desktop sucks. I don’t mind working on my laptop and luckily I have one but it’s not the same as typing on a desktop. It also doesn’t have all the goodies I am used to. I thought I would be ok without the office computer working until it just dawned on me. All my contact info is inside my office computer. All my saved emails. I am always the one preaching backup your stuff and my documents are secured for the most part. In fact I didn’t lose any data I just can’t turn on the computer without a working motherboard. But I need access to my contacts and without that working I am out of luck.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But you see why I am out of luck is what I am getting at with this post</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">. Microsoft sucks at syncing your information across multiple computers. There is no reason with internet access why I don’t have a complete list of all my contacts and emails on every computer I own. You see that’s where Google takes off and is great. They store that data in a central location, it’s not computer specific unlike Microsoft which doesn’t seem to get why this is important. Yet using Gmail as a CMS doesn’t work as well as Outlook. It’s a catch 22 and I am caught in the middle. Google did release a sync for calendar items and also recently a way to sync the contacts but it’s still not the same thing as having this data spread across every computer I have. I want my computer to act as a terminal to the central information. If I make a change it goes across all my computers. If I hook my phone up to this I want it there too. Why can’t we have this technology and why is it taking so long for this to happen? I can’t believe that its 2009 and we would have to manually enter contact information in each version of Outlook we use. Come on.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Wingdings; font-weight: bold;"><span style=""></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Luckily all my phone numbers are stored in my phone.

It’s no wonder because it’s just better. The thing that newspapers had going for them was a monopoly. They were the only ones that could reach a large segment of the population. If you wanted an ad you paid for it. Gee I won’t miss that “business model” It’s a choke hold not a business model in case you missed my sarcasm. That’s why I am glad to see Craigslist bury newspapers. I am sick of monopolies. All they do is stifle competition and we the end user suffer as a result. That’s why Craigslist is killing them. It’s free. It’s faster. Oh did I mention it’s free?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10247668-93.html">An article today shows how bad it’s killing them too.</a> You see that’s the thing newspapers didn’t think would happen, that Craigslist would catch on. That just shows you how unimaginative you get when you have no competition. Then competition comes and you are caught with your pants down. I am not going to feel sorry and hand them a tissue either. I will gladly hand them a shovel though.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Wingdings; font-weight: bold;"><span style=""></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><small>Looking for <a name="Eau_Claire_Homes_For_Sale"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="homes for sale in Eau Claire">Eau Claire Homes For Sale</a>?</small></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <small>Check out my <a name="Eau_Claire_Real_Estate_Agent_Website"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="eau claire real estate agent website">Eau Claire Real Estate Agent Website</a>!</small></div> <p style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><big><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have something to say please leave a comment.

Fri, 22 May 2009 12:17:04 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1086582/craigslist-cilling-classic-classifieds http://activerain.com/blogsview/1086553/turns-out-the-possible-cure-for-cancer-is-down-syndrome Turns out the possible cure for cancer is Down Syndrome <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I saw this article last night and I was trying to be very careful with the title.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> I realize that cancer is a very serious thing and I know that almost every other day someone is trumpeting this or that as the next cure. I realize it’s not as simple as that and I am certainly not trying to get anyone’s hopes up. If anything this might be a long way off but it certainly does look like one of many new things that could be very promising. The premise of the story is that for years scientists have known there is a link between Down Syndrome and cancer because for some reason people with Down Syndrome had an abnormally low rate of cancer. That’s good news but as the title of this post suggests the bad news is of course the Down Syndrome.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.disaboom.com/Blogs/saydrah/archive/2009/05/21/people-with-down-syndrome-rarely-get-cancer-scientists-discover-one-reason-why.aspx"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">You can read the article here which I found rather interesting</span></b></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://www.disaboom.com/Blogs/saydrah/archive/2009/05/21/people-with-down-syndrome-rarely-get-cancer-scientists-discover-one-reason-why.aspx">.</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On a side note I had a pretty scary moment just a few months ago</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">. I didn’t really say much about this to anyone outside of the people I know the most. I had a bone scan done to find out what is wrong with my back which it turns out is a torn disc and a bone defect. I had an epidural done on Monday to take care of some of the pain. Fun stuff. Anyways the bone scan turned up what is known as an uptake. I tell you what that seems like an innocuous word but when you find out what it means it sucks. I don’t have cancer or least they don’t think I do (they don’t know for sure but it’s only a small chance) but anyways they tell me I more or less might have cancer. It was pretty devastating. I will also say right now that I can’t honestly know what it’s like to have cancer. I don’t have cancer and thinking you might have cancer is not the same as having it. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Regardless it sucks anytime someone mentions that word</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> and I don’t think I was ready for it especially since they were trying to figure out what is wrong with my back. It really sucks when they say the good news is you have a bone defect the bad news is you might have cancer. What they found was a tumor in the marrow in my leg. The first thing I did of course was Google what “uptake” was to find out what the heck is wrong with my leg. What I read didn’t exactly make me feel better. Basically if it was cancer the treatment was to cut my leg off. That’s if it doesn’t spread through your blood stream which is highly likely. Again I don’t know what this is like and I can’t imagine how terrible it must be if you had to go through this. But thinking about it sucks. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The other thing that sucks is that even though it’s only a small chance</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> I might have this type of cancer the only way to find out is to drill a large hole in my bone. This in turn weakens the bone and pretty much breaks your leg. The risk of cancer is so low that they typically don’t do a biopsy like this unless they see the tumor grow. But having a tumor in your leg sucks and having it checked again in a bit here will get me thinking about this again. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One thing I can say for sure that really sucks about this is the waiting</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">. I had to wait 2 full weeks to find out if I had serious cancer or not. Of course not having it is much better than that but waiting is hard. What didn’t make me feel better was them saying to me “you’re lucky. There are people who have to wait longer than 2 weeks for treatment <b style="">and they have cancer!”</b> I don’t know what to think about our health care but I do know that if I didn’t have insurance none of what is wrong with me would have been treated. Our system is broke and as great as the treatments are that are available they aren’t available to everyone...</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Wingdings; font-weight: bold;"><span style=""></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><small>Looking for <a name="Eau_Claire_Homes_For_Sale"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="homes for sale in Eau Claire">Eau Claire Homes For Sale</a>?</small></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <small>Check out my <a name="Eau_Claire_Real_Estate_Agent_Website"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="eau claire real estate agent website">Eau Claire Real Estate Agent Website</a>!</small></div> <p style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><big><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have something to say please leave a comment.

Fri, 22 May 2009 11:03:31 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1086480/first-tweet-from-space-turns-out-it-was-a-lie-first-tweet-from-everest-hope-that-wasn-t-a-lie-as-well- http://activerain.com/blogsview/1086434/maybe-what-active-rain-needs-is-for-people-to-leave-comments-is-it-comment-courtesy- Maybe What Active Rain Needs is for People to Leave Comments? Is it Comment Courtesy? <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I noticed something recently after blogging quite a bit this week</span>. I guess I noticed this before but it became more pronounced in light of all the featured posts about “what is wrong with Active Rain” But maybe it’s as simple as leaving a comment? Call it comment courtesy if you will but leaving a simple comment might make it worthwhile to the person making the blog post. If you want I can post some statistics, graphs, charts, figures, numbers or whatever you want if it illustrates this point better but the gist of it is that for the number of posts I make (and I am sure this goes for everyone on the network for the most part) there are few relative comments when compared to the number of people that click on the post (and I assume read it) </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">For instance most of my posts usually get at least 100 clicks</span>. Some get around 2-300 clicks. I don’t know if that is a lot or that’s typical but on those same posts I usually get about 2-3 comments. Now I appreciate the comments that I do get but think about this for a moment, several hundred people might have read what I wrote but only a few people bothered to tell me they appreciate the work involved in writing it. Now I understand some posts naturally attract a lot of comments but perhaps it might be a courtesy to at least leave a note thanking the person for writing the post. In the least they gave you information for free. Even if it’s only linking to another article how much work would it be to drop a comment?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Another example to illustrate how skewed the commenting</span> is on the network was yesterdays featured posts. One post had almost 50 comments by noon. Yet a post right below that only had 3 comments. Yet the 3 comment post was posted first. Yet both were featured. Then by night this same post still only had a handful of comments left and yet I guarantee 500 if not more read that post. Even today it only had just over 10 comments. If you look at the number of comments on any given day it is horribly skewed in favor of featured posts. Sure these get the most attention and probably seen the most so that would naturally skew the number of comments in their favor but if you look at the number of people on the network at any given time obviously people are out and about reading other posts but they don’t bother to leave a comment. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">It’s strange to me that a featured post will get upwards of 50-100 comments</span> with around 500 clicks on it while a normal unfeatured post will get 2-300 clicks and only 0-3 comments. That means a ratio of 5-10% for a featured post reader vs. commenter while an unfeatured post gets a much smaller ratio of 0-1%! I realize these are loose numbers but its pretty close relatively speaking. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">So what can you do about it?</span> I guess that’s the premise of this post. If you found a post interesting just write a note that says thanks for posting this. It’s not that hard. Maybe a lot of people click on a post but then find it not interesting (a high bounce rate perhaps?) but I have a feeling a lot of people just don’t bother to leave a comment unless the post is featured and I don’t know why. Does it make your comment featured and read by all? I guess I don’t see the point in that. I actually find I comment much less on a featured posts. I would say my own commenting is completely skewed the other way and if your post is featured you probably won’t get my comment. Strange huh?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What do you think?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Comment Courtesy or am I just crazy? </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-weight: bold;">Or is this post too long and I bored you? </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Wingdings; font-weight: bold;"><span style="">J</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><small>Looking for <a name="Eau_Claire_Homes_For_Sale"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="homes for sale in Eau Claire">Eau Claire Homes For Sale</a>?</small></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <small>Check out my <a name="Eau_Claire_Real_Estate_Agent_Website"></a><a href="http://www.yourchippewavalleyhome.com/" title="eau claire real estate agent website">Eau Claire Real Estate Agent Website</a>!</small></div> <p style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><big><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have something to say please leave a comment.

Fri, 22 May 2009 10:38:08 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1086434/maybe-what-active-rain-needs-is-for-people-to-leave-comments-is-it-comment-courtesy- http://activerain.com/blogsview/1086372/looking-for-some-sizzle-in-your-virtual-tours-shock-and-awe-with-animoto-and-photosynth Looking for some sizzle in your “virtual tours”? Shock and Awe with Animoto and Photosynth <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Recently I have been talking a lot about video.</span> I like video. It’s a great format. It’s engaging. Everything about it is great. But making videos of listings is troublesome at best and a nightmare for most people. Editing raw video footage requires some computer processing power and it takes time. Even just putting some clips in order and making it look seamless isn’t as easy as it seems. But there are alternatives that are equally impressive.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I have two different applications that I have been working with lately that are just incredible</span>. In the past I have used <a href="http://www.slide.com/">Slide.com</a> and I liked it. It’s good but it’s not <a href="http://animoto.com/">animoto.com</a>. I don’t know what it is but Animoto is simply amazing. It only takes a few minutes to make a “video” and the results are impressive.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Take a look at some Animoto clips below. Notice it says YouTube?</span></p> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span> <object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PRhcKImJiXc&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PRhcKImJiXc&hl=en&fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" height="340" width="560"></object><br> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">You see that’s the other thing I like about Animoto.</span> Once you have your clip made you can convert it to a YouTube video at the press of a button. After that you can tweak the title and other SEO components and you have yourself some <b style="">SEO FIRE</b>. You have several options available through Animoto itself as well. You can send the clip to a zillion different social networking applications as well as Tweet the video!<span style="">  </span>I just sent out a tweet of my clip for a listing at the click of a button. There is nothing easier than this. I am not going to do a step by step to show you because it’s so simple you don’t really need directions. In minutes you have a slideshow created. One word of caution, it allows you to upload mp3s. This is a huge copyright issue waiting to happen. You don’t have commercial rights to use those songs regardless if they are your favorites, just use the ones that they have available if you like music.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The other dazzler that I came across</span> is the <a href="http://photosynth.net/">Microsoft Live Labs Photosynth</a>. This thing is amazing as well. The potential here is staggering. I know virtual tour companies that charge hundreds of dollars to create something similar to this. You also have to wait several days for them to “process” the video as well as wait for them to send out a photographer. That’s fine and dandy if you can do all this weeks in advance of a listing but when I list a house I want this stuff online THAT DAY! And now you can and you can do it for free. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What this does is take pictures and seamlessly puts them together.</span> How it does it I don’t know or care really just that it works. Call it magic if you will. The only trick is to take dozens and dozens of pictures. You want to take them from as many angles as possible and think in your mind of seaming them up. So don’t take a picture of the front and then one of the back of the house thinking it’s going to fill in the space. You need to follow around the house and fill in the gaps. With neighbors houses this is a bit trickier so it can get jumpy but the better you can do it the better your synth will turn out. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The one I added below is a recent listing that is currently on hold until the inside is finished</span>. For now I wanted to create some hype about the listing so I used Photosynth to create a virtual tour of the outside. It’s on a golf course so I was able to show off the yard and the course as well. You will notice a few gaps as I pointed out above how to avoid that. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about it because of the layout. Anyways as you can see the results are pretty good. The trick as I said above is to take a lot of pictures and try to stitch them together in your mind. This makes it easier later and gets rid of the gaps.</span></p> <iframe src="http://photosynth.net/embed.aspx?cid=6231d84c-6cf8-41eb-9ad5-535a05e0ad8a&delayLoad=true&slideShowPlaying=false" height="300" frameborder="0" width="500"></iframe> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Doing the inside is the same as the outside expect in reverse</span>. The outside was taken from vantage points outside the home pointing in (except the golf course which was pointing out). For the inside just stand in the middle and shoot around you in 360. It works by using the vantage points and tries to see where the camera was when the pictures were taken. So if you can imagine that it might make it easier to do.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anyways I am always looking for some new ways to get my listings to stand out.</span> I recently went on a CMA and showed these technologies to the owner. I know virtual tours don’t normally look like this and I wanted something different. With so many homes on the market I don’t see how doing the same thing everyone else is doing is going to sell anyone anything. Both of these create a hyperlink and don’t require software to view so there is no issue whether someone can see them or not.
