The Importance of Unique Website Content

How to write a sizzling bio, with no cheese or hype or BS Well that’s a challenge. It’s ingrained in us all, when we settle down to write about our life and achievements, we fall back on the old clichés...and suddenly we’re all “pro-active individuals with a passion for success” instead of the distinctive, interesting people we really are! If you’re writing a bio for a web page, please don’t fall into this trap. Keep in mind, you’re writing something to showcase your achievements and personality – to persuade the reader that you’re more than just a competent pro. … [Read more...]

XeeMe Social Presence Management

I have been thinking a great deal about my social presence lately and the more I thought about it the more I got lost in where I have been and what I have done online in recent years. It started a few weeks ago when I had to take a couple of weeks away from social media and when I returned I felt a little lost and disconnected, you see over the years I have joined literally hundreds of social networks and today I can’t remember when I last engaged with most of them or even remember what most of them are for or about. This set me thinking that it was about time I formally organised my … [Read more...]

November 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Klout Social Authority

Klout - The Standard for Influence I read lots of stuff about the changes which Klout made but it makes no sense to me and here’s why. If Klout is the Standard for Influence why does Klout discourage the influencing of people with low Klout scores – or have I misunderstood something? Joe Fernandez Said on Accuracy and Transparency: The subscores contribute to one overall score, the Klout Score.

Remember when we used to sit round the fire in the cave and swap stories about chasing down the antelope and catching the fish?
