However, today I updated my Twitter account more than normal and  I found three of my Tweets in a Google Alert.

Internet News Will Not Be Monetized in the Internet Age

July 28, 2009

There are a lot of people trying to solve the newspaper industry’s problem of how to monetize the digital versions of their news in an internet age.

After giving this problem a great deal of thought, I have concluded general interest news distributed over the internet can not be monetized on a scale anywhere near the profit margins its print equivalents have previously enjoyed.

Why?

Because internet distributed general interest news doesn’t convert into buyers.

Microsoft Yahoo Search Opera

July 27, 2009

Back for its second season, the Microhoo now Binghoo search opera is still missing the protagonist  – purported higher CTR and a combined reach still won’t produce the plot’s much needed hero – Relevance.

But stay tuned searchers!

The next episode where – when and if a Microhoo / Binghoo deal happens – will produce new messaging where they proclaim Relevance performs miracles on the screen before your very eyes!

Have Personal Computer Sales Peaked?

Example of a WordPress Terms of Service Violation

July 23, 2009

I was experimenting with adding my Twitter Followers list yesterday to this blog in order to be able to search the list from within WordPress and eventually Google.

Why?

As far as I can tell, Twitter doesn’t provide a method for Twitter account holders to search their Followers or Following lists.

After I uploaded 17,000+ words I received the following notice from WordPress:

Deactivated WordPress Blog Notice

Deactivated WordPress Blog Notice

As suggested, I contacted WordPress to see if I could troubleshoot what caused this blog to get deactivated.

Within 24 hours I got an email response notifying me of the problem.

It wasn’t the size of my post that caused the problem.

Apparently buried deep with my Twitter Followers list was a link to a site WordPress explicity prohibits within their terms of service.

The WordPress staffer restored my site and asked me to remove the link to the spam site.

I did.

It now appears everything with this blog is back to normal.

Thanks WordPress.

How To Search Twitter and Archive Lists of Followers

July 22, 2009

Yesterday I wrote a post about how to create a searchable archive of Twitter updates on my WordPress blog SearchMarketingCommunications.com.

Today I outlined my method for creating  a searchable archive of Twitter Followers.

As discussed in my post, the following is a list of my Twitter account’s 873 Followers:

Update – my blog was suspended for uploading the list.

See my next post.
