The dangers of ReTweeting (it can make you feel like a wazzock)

February 28, 2010 – 1:49 pm

Sometimes I sit and read stuff on Twitter and just hit the retweet button without thinking about it much(assuming the idiocy of the post or something else would come through) and some times the daftness is mine.
Today I did just such a thing and within minutes I get DM’d asking what I was doing mentioning [...]

Daily Record website makes amends

February 24, 2010 – 3:13 pm

Sometimes it’s good to take all the glory and today I shall whether it is warranted or not.
Whilst wandering through my Twitter a/c for the day – having read about Google doing credit card comparison and Google staff being sentenced for taking off a video of some kid beating up an autistic kid (way to [...]

World of Sofas, Falkirk… continued

February 4, 2010 – 2:26 pm

In my previous rant about World of Sofas I was ready to lose it completely. I’ve given it some time and now I find it’s going to be April before the living room furniture is going to arrive! Just to recap I ordered at the start of October 2009 and my couch will be here [...]

I still can’t manage to moderate a forum

February 3, 2010 – 4:02 pm

A couple of times I’ve thought about developing a forum – generally its about whisky – but I never manage to get to the final stage of launching it. Generally due to the spamming which I’m sure would take place.
Andy has bravely decided to launch one – silly boy – about his pet interests in [...]

January 22, 2010 – 4:11 pm

Over the past couple of weeks there has been discussions going on around the way that Google.co.uk result sets are being formed to do with “search engine optimisation” and “search engine optimization”. Two of the better posts come from Sean @ Hobo and Andrew Girdwood from BMM (yes they’re dofollow links to competing sites – [...]

Small town Scottish Junior Football team live tweeting

October 5, 2009 – 9:42 am

Over at http://twitter.com/steadythebuffs Kilwinning Rangers have started to tweet live during games. Cool concept. Live commentary by Twitter – and its more fun than that you get at the BBC. 
If only Falkirk FC would do the same – would be an added value item for all of us who can’t make every game.

SEO Spammers beware

October 1, 2009 – 2:51 pm

Remind me not to send unsolicited spam link exchange requests to pageoneresults website. I’d seen a link in his twitter updates,  http://Twuna.com/LEX/200909301, and got into a quick tweeting with him about it. He used the phrase “Link Monkey” at one point – which I regularly use is a non-prejorative and character building kind of way.
