One Email Sends Your Updates Everywhere

Johnny — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:55:27 +0000

I found this web site lately called Posterous. It provides service of using email to send your updates to various services like Facebook, Myspace, Tweeter… and most important of all, your blogs. It is such a convenient tool which saves time to go to each site and put in your updates. If however, you don’t have account on any of the social networking sites, and don’t have your own blog, they give you a free blog, just like a blogger/blogspot blog. You update your new blog by sending emails. Google “Posterous”, you will find the site.

Why Squidoo?

Johnny — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:19:03 +0000

If you follow me on twitter, you probably knew that I created my first Squidoo lens a couple of days ago. The reason behind that move will be exposed here in this post. If you are using Squidoo, please share your experience here.

Squidoo is a network of user-generated lenses—single pages that highlight one person’s point of view, recommendations, or expertise. Lenses can be about anything, such as ideas, people or places, hobbies and sports, pets or products, philosophy, and politics. Lenses aren’t primarily intended to hold content; more emphasis is placed on recommending and advice then pointing to content on the web.

Squidoo’s content is highly ranked in Google and other search engines as it is treated as one of the authority sites. Squidoo recently changed their nofollow link rules. Once your lens is established, you get dofollow links from there. This gives Squidoo lenses more ranking power in the search engines. That’s why I’m taking advantage of it.

You can even make money from your Squidoo lens, as they share the ad revenue with the users (or lensmasters in their own term). It’s like getting paid to promote you own blog. So why not.

The following is a video demo on Squidoo:
