Facebook Marketing

By Andy Beard | Published: September 4, 2007

I spend a fair amount each day on Facebook these days, and in part there are 2 people to blame, Sherman Hu and Tinu Abayomi-Paul.

Sherman has launched an excellent Beginners Guide To Mastering Web Basics group on Facebook

Unlike most Facebook groups, Sherman has already uploaded some real juicy video content.

BlogCatalog API Launches

By Andy Beard | Published: August 17, 2007

Blogcatalog have just launched an API for programmers giving extensive access to the data contained within both the user profiles and blog profiles.

The BlogCatalog REST (REpresentational State Transfer) API allows the retrieval of public user and blog data based on a set of input parameters. This page outlines the various types of requests that can be executed and provides example requests and responses.

I had a play around with it early today for the first time and a couple of bugs were cleaned up since then and I think developers will find the terms of use fairly unrestricted.

I have actually

Social Power Linking Review

By Andy Beard | Published: August 17, 2007

There is only one small detail that prevents me from immediately whipping out my credit card in the next 30 seconds and buying Social Power Linking, but for many people that small detail is actually the primary reason they would make a purchase.

Its Not The Quality Of The Product

I have experienced some of Jacks training in the past, and it is always phenomenal, he gives so much valuable information and presents it in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. I have absolutely no doubt that Social Power Linking will be no exception to the rule.

It Is Not

Carefully Selected News Source

What would be better than Robert Scoble’s OPML file?

Web 2.0 Marketing | Convergence

By Andy Beard | Published: January 13, 2007

I love being the catalyst that encourages some level of convergence between different web 2.0 platforms. Actually this is the first time it has happened with web 2.0, but it has happened for me in other topic areas.

MyBlogLog Tricks

By Andy Beard | Published: January 10, 2007

I noticed a useful trick to show more of the people who have visited your blog recently over on Digital Inspiration.
This is extremely useful to help you spot contact whores who are just sending you contact requests without ever visiting your blog. There are scripts out there to do this now, so be on the lookout.

MyBlogLog Plutoed?

By Andy Beard | Published: January 8, 2007

MyBlogLog is a service I enjoy using, and which provides me with a significant amount of quality readers.

But it is becoming devalued

Recently Andy Beal decided to issue a free Zune MP3 player to a member of his MyBlogLog community. I actually thought this was a good idea to encourage people to use the service, as Andy has a high readership. Thus I did link through to him in my post “MyBlogLog – Antisocial Behaviour?”.

MyBlogLog – Antisocial Behaviour?

Am I an antisocial member of MyBlogLog?

Contacts in MyBlogLog

Adding someone as a contact in MyBlogLog does 2 major things

1. It sends them an email message

Usuggest – Limited Inventory

By Andy Beard | Published: January 4, 2007

Mashable have just mentioned Usuggest as a possible revenue stream for bloggers. From what I can see they have a very limited inventory.

As an example I did a quick search for “Diabetes” – a massive marketplace and loads of products… or there should be.

Google are killing the future of RSS

By Andy Beard | Published: November 3, 2006

An RSS feed which you subscribe to is your personal subscription to a service, just like email.

A private subscription service for text, audio and video content, even involving a paid subscription fee has been possible for more than a year, based upon RSS.

Top 50 – currently only 115 favorites

327 Favorites to get in their Top 10 !

Pageflakes updated – new look for the Web 2.0 Ajax Desktop

By Andy Beard | Published: October 18, 2006

As an example lets look at Alexa Whilst on the surface it looks like Netvibes are way out in front of their competitors (and in some ways they are), the other services are much younger. Pageflakes (and friends) is catching up with Netvibes, having similar traffic (as per Alexa) to where Netvibes were 6 months ago.
