Kansas City SEO and SEM

Bad captcha has been bugging me for years, but this one out of Linkedin really bothers me. It’s Linkedin for crying out loud. Someone fix this because it’s been nothing but annoying lately.

Linkedin Bad Captcha One?

Linkedin Bad Captcha Second Time?

Great video compilation by Matthew Belinkie at overthingkingit.com. It’s worth the 3.54 minute video to get you motivated for Valentines Day. Why isn’t real life like the movies? I grabbed as many of the romantic movie quotes as I could while viewing the video.

Enjoy and Happy Valentines Day!

“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and the thing is I love you”
“You are the the epitome of everything I’ve looked for in another human being”
“Love is too weak a word for what I feel – I luuurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you”
“I sort of feel like I’m on drugs with you, not that I do drugs unless you do drugs, in which case I do drugs all the time”
“There’s only one place in the world I call home and it’s because your there”
“I’d feel better sitting outside your apartment on the curb, than any other place I can think of or imagine”
“I’m not waking up another morning without being able to look at your next to me”
” I would rather share one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone”
” Can’t you see what I’m trying to tell you, I love you”
“I love you – ditto”
“I should have told you everyday from the moment I met you”
“You complete me”
“I love you honey bunny”
“You are the woman that I want”
“How many more times do I have to say it, one more time would be nice”
“You have bewitched me, body and soul”
“Whatever I am, I’m yours”

Be careful with your Twitter RSS feeds. Yes, second time in 1 year my 2009 4.4K Twitter account is suspend! Isn’t there some sort of filter which places early adopters’ accounts in the safe zone?? More to come as the experience continues.

Check out this post from earlier this year:

Fix Your Twitter Suspended Account

Daren Froeschle from Warehouse 1 was kind enough to give me an awesome recommendation on Linkedin this month. I was an early adopter to Linkedin, so it took me a long time to acquire my connections and specifically my recommendations. When I first created my account on Linkedin, I rushed to connect with colleagues I’ve worked with within my career, but my goal was to have at least one person from each place I had worked, give me a recommendation. A good portion of my career was in the dot.com era, validation of a company’s existence was a big deal for me. As I built my legitimate recommendations I noticed along the way people joining Linkedin and receiving 500+ connections almost overnight with very little attention to recommendations. Let’s face it, it’s easy to use a rolodex, but how easy is it to receive a recommendation? In my experience I haven’t had a hard time with recommendations because I’m passionate about any position I hold; if I’m a food server, I will be the best food server, if I’m a custom framer I will be the best framer, if I’m an internet marketer I will best internet marketer.

As I continue my journey with Linkedin, I pay more attention to the connections to recommendations ratio. It’s not about having 500+ connections; it’s about making a difference and doing your very best!

Following is the recommendation from Daren Froeschle:

I’m missing Google+, I’ve been busy with life. I logged into Google+ tonight to see a post by The Tom Anderson from MySpace. Here is deal, while the technologist drive technology, the people drive the market share. I’ve logged into MySpace once in 2011 and yet when you Google my name, MySpace is in position #2 in the search results. Tom is making his place with regards to rankings and in my opinion he’s doing an outstanding job! Thanks Tom!!!

I’m a music lady and I love tunes, so it looks like I need to spend a little more time in MySpace! Now to fix my profile…sorry for the broken image.

I pushed my way into my first hangout using Google+ with Chris Voss, Benjamin Hale and Matt Meeker. It was cool at first, but then I kept receiving server timed out errors.

It will be interesting to investigate the hangout feature more, but for now it looks awesome only in this video:

Let’s hope the hangout feature will continue to allow for people to share and collaborate. Otherwise, this hangout feature could isolate people and keep Facebook as the preferred platform.
