A Funny Comic Strip by Me

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

I made a clever little comic strip today at StripGenerator.com, about web content. This is a very fun little tool, but it lacks two very important things: The ability to save the image and the ability to embed said image into a page. So alas, I have no image of this clever little comic strip, but merely a link to it.

I also tried to make a screen shot of it in WebShotsPro, but that didn’t work. And thus continues my love/hate relationship with Flash.

I think I found the link (a few days ago) via Buzzshout. That’s one that all Web 2.0 fans should subscribe to.

You may have already noticed that my feed now comes with the latest photos that I have uploaded to my flickr account.

So, if you haven’t already subscribed to the feed then now’s the time, or you’ll never know what you’re missing!

Tracking Your Online Buzz 101

Monday, September 11th, 2006

I found a great post today via Steve Rubel, at a site called Apples to Oranges.

It lays out all of the best tools for tracking your online buzz. I’ve been asked about this quite a bit, so it’s nice to see a definitive list of tools that can give you a barometer of what’s being said about you online.

It’s a good list, and I was especially excited to discover socialmeter.com. It gives you a total of your website address’ incoming links, and displays it as an overall score. The score for my site is a measly 75, all of the “points” coming from Google and Technorati.

Have a look at the list, and pick your favorite. One thing the post doesn’t mention that I’d like to add is using Google News Alerts to track the mentions of you or your company in the more “traditional” news sources and static sites.

Try them out, and have fun!

Update: Kris dropped by in the comments and proceeded to give me link envy. So in an attempt to save face, I went back and checked the socialmeter score for my old blog. It’s score of 124 means that when you add them both together, I’ve still got a hot cup of jack squat
So let’s make it a game, commenters: What’s your socialmeter score?
