Headlines matter

I was reading some parts of a blog here - http://www.socialable.co.uk/woman-gives-birth-to-alien-headlines-that-make-you-look/ - when I realised that Headlines are VERY IMPORTANT part of the article.

100% readership goes for the headlines than the actual contents and here is an awesome post that talks about the same in 11 articles

How often do you blog?

How often do you think you must blog? As for my blog posts they are worse than the occassional waves that come by the sea side.

SEO strategy to change?

Heard about this Apple Siri. Mostly using Android based apps and depending on search other than the mighty Google.

So what's the problem you might ask. Well, for SEO's its not good news. They might have to just change their way of doing local SEO.

Read this article - http://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/siri-and-the-end-of-seo-as-we-know-it.html. and I am sure you will agree to what I mean.

So Google Places, YELP, FourSquare, Epinions .....get ready to be attacked.

On another note, are there any more such similar apps where you can be located locally? I think - Thinking the Android way is gonna be in vogue soon.

Facebook Ticker

Hey everybody...I noticed today there is a ticker which spits out your dear friends (or enemy's updates) like it or not.

And it pretty annoying to see the damned ticker, so the simple thing to do was to just pull up the ticker demarcation over your online friends list and pull it all the way UP until you cannot. Simple right?

Some other ways are (though not tried) to add extensions on Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ldfdjdnohanpkljbgeipdoeiefheaefp?hl=en-GB

In Firefox, you will need to install a user script. To do so, first install the Greasemonkey add-on and then install this user script. When prompted, restart Firefox and the ticker will be gone. Do note that this user script removes the entire right column of Facebook, including the ticker, event invitations, ads, sponsored stories, friends' photos, and so on.

Let me tell you honestly, I have not tried these extensions, but you can - and let me know the outcome.

Facebook is not a safe haven

Apart from the usual rule that tells you not to post your favourite photo on line on your favourite soap - Facebook, there is yet another scam that has come up recently.

I was almost a victim of the same. One of my friend it seemed, was trying to call me through a video chat on FB. It was not him though. Probably some scamster.
