Continuing The Conversation

As you may have noticed, I took a little break from blogging.  I’d like to think of it as two years of writers block.  It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to say, it was more like I did not have time to say it.  This can be partially blamed on the Twitter phenominom that began around the same time that my blogging ended.  My thoughts and expressions became limited to 140 character tweets of which I did a really good job of squeezing in every available character.  My tweets consisted of things that I had either brought up or overheard in conversations with my friends, family and peers. 

Something you may not have noticed is that my online presence hit a major milestone last March when my namesake domain turned 10 years old.  I started blogging back in Y2K because at the time there was no other way to get your point across to all of your friends all at once.  Sure there were websites like Livejournal and Xanga but they all required your friends to have an account in order to join in the conversation.  Having watched The Social Network last night I can see that what I was trying to do at the time was very similar to what Zuckerberg was doing with Facebook only on a smaller and more personal scale.  I wanted my friends and family, all of whom were scattered across the globe, to have one-click access to everything that I felt like sharing with the world. 

So here we are, almost 11 years later.  Everyone on the planet can create their own web presence using only an email address and a password.  I questioned whether or not to keep this portal going or to migrate everything to the social network.  What I have decided to do is to harness the power of both the social network and the web portal.  Social networks are great for in-the moment conversation but do little for archiving and in-depth discussion.  You may see a tweet or status update from me but that will only be the start of the conversation.  If the 140 teaser grabs you, I invite all of my friends, family, and peers to visit BrendanOnline and continue the conversation.

The approaches used by organic search optimization and artificial SEO are really significantly different. Basically, organic SEO uses content compared to artificial SEO’s technical loopholes.seo company toronto

Using a projector with a projection screen is ideal for this. It can be connected to a computer or laptop and therefore can be used to show graphs, slideshows or other presentations easily.Planung Events
