Anatomy of a Twitter Application for the Favorite Function

This is a guest post by Rishil – Explicitly.me/ For those of you who don’t know what the favorite function is (really? ), from day one twitter has allowed you to tag tweets with the use of their teen tiny star: Some people use it for showing their appreciation for a tweet they like, while [...]

Another Day, Another Twitter Exploit

Apologies to anyone out there who’s not a Twitter fan (e.g. our very own Carps springs to mind), but this is another Twitter exploit post. If you do use Twitter you’ll likely already have seen this one in action today, and if you don’t, you won’t be interested. Oh well. The Problem The actual exploit [...]

New Twitter, What’s All The Fuss About?

You can probably see from trending topics that everyone’s talking about a little thing called “new Twitter”. Announced in the early hours (UK time) new Twitter is an “easier, faster and richer experience”. It’s being rolled out over the coming weeks, and there’s certainly a lot of hype: Most people don’t even have the new [...]

Twitter Local Trends

I’ve still got a hmm-ahh kind of relationship with Twitter. On the one hand it brings me content that I might not otherwise see, but as a communications medium I think it’s pretty woeful. Stupid little things like having to remember how many direct messages I had last time I checked so I can work [...]

Google real time search: flawed to hell

The German high command lived in fear of a two front war throughout the 20th century. Landlocked between two military powers, they knew that it would be impossible to sustain a war effort in the East and the West for any length of time. Hitler proved the point spectacularly by invading Russia before defeating Britain. [...]

Bingo, Dave, Social Circle, Weirdness

Google still catches me off guard sometimes. Looking at ‘online bingo’ results today, I was surprised to see this result and mistook it for Google News (cut me some slack – it was 8:30 and I’d had no coffee). Had we written about bingo anytime recently? I didn’t recall and it seemed like a mentalist [...]

“Content is King” is Bunkum

Apologies for the attention-grabbing title. Couldn’t resist. Everyone knows that people like content, right? And that Google makes sweet, dribbly love to sites with good content. You can’t sneeze without spraying a “content expert” who’ll tell you all about the importance of killer copywriting for ranking. I alluded the other day to a site I [...]

Will Twitter Replace Google?

Dave, in one of his periodic why-the-hell-have-I-chosen-a-career-in-SEO moments, sparked an office debate about whether things like Twitter could sound the (distant) death knell for search. Part of his point was demographic. When da kidz are looking to see where Kirsty got her kewl Uggs (LOLZ), they possibly – probably –  don’t even think to ask [...]
