Continuing the TrustBait Series : How to Learn What Information to Trust Part One

Welcome New Friend!

We'd love to see you back again. You can subscribe by RSS feed, or get updates by email. And please feel free to comment. Don't forget to leave your link and your name.

questionWe are so bogged down with extra information that we can’t even think sometimes. And sadly, some people are taking this unprecedented overabundance of data and information, and using the fact that you don’t know who to trust against you.

The very first thing you’ll need to learn to do if you want to learn what information to trust and whose information is worthwhile, is to learn that there is a huge difference between information and data. Data is just input. It isn’t classified into a category or topic, it’s an assorted collection of facts, that may even be random.

Cast Your Vote, Please

OK, if you’re reading this through the feed you obviously won’t notice this, but we just made a change on the site to the text size. We made one yesterday, to make the text smaller, but it was WAY too small. I bumped it up a little, until our design changes again. Vote above on whether the text is too big, too small or just right.

What Kind of Community Do You Want To See? Best/First/Random Answer Gets a Prize worth $375

We’re in talks to link with another site that already has active forums and to add a bunch of web 2.0ish stuff to the site over the next month or so right before the membership site relaunches, and after I catch up with any pending obligations. So what kind of additions, besides forums, would you like to see here?

We’ll take every suggestion seriously, but do understand that we want to keep ourselves distinctive. IE - great tools like PlugIM and BUMPzee exist already - if you suggest we open anything similar, we’d want to know why we shouldn’t just do that within the existing framework.

Traffic Thursdays | Increase Your Web Traffic with Trustbait

I haven’t been around lately because I’ve been looking around at what people are charging hundreds or thousands of dollars for these days that are basically a rip-off of sites like CopyBlogger, Andy Beard, ProBlogger, Pearsonified, even Ewen Chia’s blog.

(And yes, ours too, but this isn’t about me, it’s about you.)

Splashcast Media vs Kyte.tv - The Clean-Cut Handsome Professional vs The Sexy Artist


VideoJug: Splashcast Media Vs Kyte

Splashcast media is like that professional, good looking interface for building a multimedia channel that your mother told you to marry, but doesn’t seem as popular. Kyte is the hot performance artist, who obviously has a source of funding, and has many of the same skills as Splashcast. Kyte isn’t so polished, but man is it sexy…

Leftover from Traffic Thursdays | Jaiku (vs Twitter) - Video


VideoJug: Jaiku Vs Twitter

Jaiku is a bit more robust than Twitter, which makes it more or less desireable, depending on who you talk to about the matter. Jaiku calls itself a mini-blog, and though, early on, I thought it was for the birds, I’m giving it another chance, I say why in the video… but part of the reason is, it’s just so… pretty…

Mulligatawny Monday | I jest caint take it anye moore.

Okay.

I’ve been really nice over the past 2-3 weeks. But if I don’t get this off my chest, I fear that my aneurysm is going to explode.  And I don’t want to have to clean up the mess.

On the telly, on the radio, in the newspapers everyone is saying, “June 21st is/was the longest day of the year”.  I even heard it today on NPR, during the “Wait, wait, don’t tell me” program.  June 21st is not the longest day of the flipping year - all days of the year are 24 hours (approx).  June 21st is the day wherein we have the most sunshine (in the Northern Hemisphere).

Mulligatawny Monday | Apple’s iPhone casts big shadow on cell industry

If the device — a melding of phone, Web browser and music and video player — is a hit, analysts say it will cut into market share of major phonemakers, including Schaumburg-based Motorola.

As if struggling cell phone-maker Motorola Inc. doesn’t have enough to worry about: Here comes the iPhone, heir to the mighty iPod, brainchild of tech golden boy Steve Jobs — and riding a tidal wave of hype to boot.

Mulligatawny Monday | The Best Online Research Apps/Sites You’ve Never Heard Of

I’ve been trying to come up with some unique information for those of you who might be having a wee bit of trouble on topics. I mean, how many times can you post about a particular subject before you run out of gas. (The exception to this rule is Tinu, and there’ll only be one of her in the whole universe. Ever!)

But for us mortals, it’s a different story, and that’s the truth, whether you own up to it or not!

Cheating Fridays | How to Cheat on SEO with FEO in Three Easy Steps

Step One: Find something to write/pod/vlog about that you really care about and can talk about over and over until the end of time as we know it.

Technorati Traffic Quickie- Accompanied by Video

*edit. This player is more beautifuller. Hope you enjoy. (May take a few second to load - feel free to read the article first, it won’t give anything away. :) )

The links below are to other significant information about Technorati, including how inconsistent they’ve been with my site(s). Gr.
