As I’m cruising through the old RSS reader on a Sunday afternoon, I’ve got some stuff that is (hopefully) worth your click-through time. Now if only my fantasy baseball team would make the time I put into picking lineups every day worth my time.
- Rex points to an interesting feature that the Silicon Alley Insider sites have begun using, the ability to have posts embedded on other sites in a nifty little window. As most of us bloggers know, the number of people who’ll actually click through to a link and the number who SEE the link are not always the same thing, so this is an interesting way to get around the ‘ol blockquote, and let someone like Henry Blodget actually see how many people are reading his text elsewhere. Or something like that.
- Danny Sullivan has a thing or two to say about the contention from someone at Fox News that SEO is “scamming.” And he couldn’t be more on the mark – and amusing – in the way he does it.
- Max Damage. Say goodbye to the rest of your day. Thanks, Kottke.
- Jeremy Pepper drops dime on hip-hop maven Talib Kweli’s “guidelines” (my words, not Kweli’s) on using Twitter. Great linkage and roundup. Enjoy it, social media “experts.”
- Jenn has founded a little group called “Code She Wrote” for women who are in the NYC-general area who are – you guessed it – into design, gaming, gadgets, and so on. Knowing a few people who would definitely dig on this sorta thing, I thought it wise to pass it along. Go Jenn!
- If *anyone* is surprised by the stats that 45% of employers are not “screening social media profiles” for potential hires, then I’m not even sure what to say. Or maybe I’m just being social media snotty.
- A week or so ago, gruber pointed to something extra awesome, the lowdown on how the iPhone Sudoku Grab app works. Equal parts OMG and WTF, all at the same time.
