Coolest App Ever

I was reading Edward Tuft’s Blog, he specializes in presenting data and information and how basically most every one does a bad job of this. On one of his post he was talking about how lame peoples power points are and discussed some alternatives. He mentioned that he uses his iphone as a remote if he does any kind of presentation. So I thought that would be cool if you could control your desktop without hacking your i phone. So i went googling and found a web app that does just that. Telekinesis , you can use it as an itunes remote, Look out of your own web cam and launch apps on your desktop.     I dont think you can do this with a blackberry. The nanny may hate the web cam though. 

The Power of Digg and Google

So last night about 2am I was ego surfing on google, really I am not that vain, I was looking for any articles that I was quoted in. I do a lot of interviews but I never see what or where I was quoted unless I ego surf. So i found this article from an interview way back about Data Mining, I also just wrote a post about it. I see twitter links and digg links and tecnorait and all kind of stuff all over the net. But I thought this article was really good so i went to digg to digg it.After that I went surfing some more and found this  three pages from the serp I was on. Data Mining for Etail Gold Nine Minutes after I Dugg it it  up on Google along with another article that I dugg early er. 9 MIN, those are some fast spiders. I looked before I posted this it is now on Page 3, from 0 to page 15 in nine min and to page three in twelve hours not bad

Google Dice

I say it here and it comes out there. Not really it just means that some of us are not crazy. Came across an article article that better explains the new Google personalized search , or “Google Dice” as it is called, I talked about in an earlier post.

Google Tools

Google like it likes to do has come out with more cool tools. This time aimed right at SEO and your web site. Called Google Webmaster Central it is a one stop shop one-stop shop for comprehensive info about how Google crawls and indexes websites. You can learn here how to ensure that your site is easily crawled and indexed and access tools that will enable you to diagnose crawling issues, study statistics on how your site is doing in our index, and tell us how you’d like your site to be crawled and indexed. There are a few features that are worth looking at. They Have a content submit, Site Map Builder, Blog for webmasters and a discussion group. But the best feature is the Site Status Wizard, this tool is simple all the SEO tools that are out there rolled into one place, the difference is this info is comming from Google. More on this later.
