How to use the new Twitter Linkedin connection properly
Everyone is all astir over Linkedin finally connecting its status updates to twitter, but in my opinion, this recent update is not as wonderful as it first seems. In fact, in the few days since it’s been started, I’ve already seen the quality of status updates on Linkedin degrade because people aren’t using #in for sending tweets, but instead are sending all of their tweets over to Linkedin. I’ve learned more about cats, sports teams, and other equally irrelevant information (for Linkedin) in the past few days because people haven’t exercised the proper awareness of how to use the new Linkedin Twitter connection effectively.
This is a post from Gary Pool Search Engine Optimizician&trade blog.How to use Twitter Lists to monitor topics of interest
Twitter lists is twitter’s version of groups
It’s similar to a group you might create on Tweetdeck or Seesmic, but there are several advantages to creating a list on twitter. The list feature allows you to organize the people you’re following on Twitter, or find new people to follow. When you look at the list you can get an overview of what those people are up to. So far that sounds like what Tweetdeck and Seesmic offer with their group feature, BUT the lists feature also allows you to add someone to your list that you aren’t following. So, for example, if you know someone who tweets a bit too often for your taste, but you’d still like to keep an eye on them, you can add them to a twitter list and then check up on them, without having to actually follow them.

One of the features I like on Twitter is the search engine
Recently they’ve even improved it, so that you can do a search on twitter for a specific topic while logged in. You can search for industry specific topics, keywords, and phrases to see what people are tweeting about, in relationship to what you offer.

So What’s a Business to do that Wants to Create an Informative Video and Share it with People?
I’ve been doing some research the last couple of days on videos, as you might’ve been able to tell on my previous post on this blog. There are a couple of different video services out there, including Youtube and Vimeo. The following search stats (provided by Gary Pool) show some related keyword phrases and their estimated daily searches.

The Ins and Outs of Using Video Effectively on Your Website by Taylor Ellwood
Something I’ve noticed a lot when I’ve visited different business websites is how they do or don’t incorporate video into their website, and if they do incorporate, whether they do it in a way that is respectful of the visitor, or ends up coming off as potentially invasive.

The Prognosis is In and for SplashCast it is Terminal
When you Jump from Focus to Focus it can be Harmful to your Company’s Health
In an earlier post about SplashCast I discussed the demise of the SplashCast service that I thought was their winner. They had a video hosting service that allowed you to create custom channels for your viewers. You could choose a list of not only your own videos but videos from other users. Their reasoning for abandoning this focus was monetization. They expressed dismay at not being able to figure out a way to make it profitable.

SplashCast is not only throwing in the towel they are heading for the cemetery.
