Improving Your Social Media Street Cred'

Found some interesting links on improving your credibility on Social Media sites as well as blogging best practices. Some great advice from a blogger that is only in his teens. Enjoy!

Value of Social Media Explained

Found a great article through StumbleUpon, a service I highly recommend, that really hits the mark on explaining the value of Social Media Marketing. The article is a great explanation of how social media sites work to increase your web site visibility and improve your search engine marketing efforts. The article also does a great job of explaining the viral effect of social media sites. Plus, the little graphics are a blast. Great job DoshDosh.com!

Biking to work blog

I have started a blog on biking to work with hopes of sharing my experience with others who might be interested in lowering their carbon footprint. I will be logging my journey through the east side suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio.

Flash RIA and SEO

Adobe announced today that they will be working closely with Google and Yahoo to improve rich internet application - RIA search indexing. What this means is that rich media content developers will be able to create more engaging experiences without losing search engine visibility. This is very good news for the RIA community. The only concern I have is where the content will rank relative to content that exists on a normal "static" web site. Also, now that Flash technology will be indexed, how does that fare to technologies such as Microsoft's Silverlight RIAs?
