You just cannot keep Twitter out of the headlines right now, can you? If celebrities and talk show hosts ain’t mouthing off about tweeting here, there and everywhere it’s Newspapers, crammed with micro-blogging sections in the hope they can accumulate back some of their lost readership and traffic that Twitter has swallowed. Now, hot on the heels that ABC (American Broadcasting Corporation) is launching it’s own Twitter TV slot giving followers of the stations @Nightline account the chance to interact and discuss topical events. But up until now, all that was just picking up speed, because Twitter is about to go stellar…

Grey Outline on iGoogle Feed Subscriptions
Ok, perhaps I’m showing my ignorance here, I think what’s best to do is play stupid (no change there then

500 NSM Spartans by Christmas
We all know the tale of the 300 Spartans, how they stood strong, together, moulded as one, against an army 10, 20 even 100 times their size, according to some historians. Well, we at NSM are looking for 500 troops of our own by Christmas. That’s right, 500 Spartans of our very own! If you look over at our current Feedburner account (->) you’ll see we are sitting pretty at a whopping 10. Hey, Bo Derek did all right from 10 as well as Dudley Moore. But, tbh, it’s ok, but not quite right. We want, nay, need, 500 Spartans behind the NSM cause by the time we are all unwrapping our chrimbo pressies. Not exactly, an easy ask, for a small seo ecommerce company situated in the back woods of Ayrshire – Spartan Country – I’ll have you know!

Happy Birthday Boss
Today is my partners birthday, her 40th birthday, at that. I was supposed to be getting ready shortly to start a BBQ as we have about 30 friends and family about to turn up in the next hour or so looking to be fed. But it’s raining big time, so it looks like its going to be an indoor celebration after all.

Follow Me Don’t Copy Me
I like to think I add something refreshing to my own social media accounts, for one I don’t just sell myself or NorthSouthMedia permanently on any of the social media platforms I’m involved with. In an unrelated discussion with a fellow seo marketer, on Twitter, the other day, it became aware of how many companies are sitting there idly waiting for resources to be posted so they can go ahead and create their own blog post, basically ripping of someone else’s content, but done with the care-in-mind that their disemblance of the original post ain’t going to catch the attention of the OP (original poster) or even the Google Duplicate Content trawler.
