Cool - Google+ Comments for your blog/website

Mid April Google made the Google+ Comment System available on Blogger.

Of course it did not take long till it got hacked and made available for Wordpress blogs. The code is rather straightforward and easy to put on your site even without plugins.So far I have noticed plugins for Wordpress and Joomla.

I will play with it shortly in my sandbox. Google has not yet added the details to their tech docu. That’s why it is still a hack.

Just wanted to let you know.

Oh, here is more about it.

Great login screen, folks.

I guess Fred Astaire is dancing in heaven now (and for Tumblr.) :-)

Being Mobile Is The Future

A quick update about what is on my mind right now.Google just announced the new Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean” operating system for mobile devices and the Nexus 7 tablet which starts shipping in mid July, 2012.

Enhancements in the new release are:

Google Now which predicts what kind of information you’ll need at your fingertips right now
Enhanced voice and gesture user interface features
Enhanced accessibility
Better performance due to an overhaul of core components.
and much more …

The Nexus 7 was jointly developed by Asus and Google and will be available at a price point of US$ 199.00

Content Marketing By Machine

Hello business builders,You might have heard it many times before, “Content Is King!”

This little phrase gets everyone excited who is especially afraid of paid advertising. Countless blogs and worthless article directories have been started with the hope to attract traffic and turn it into money without spending a dime.

But this is not about it.

Content Marketing is serious business!

Toby Murdock of SEOmoz wrote a detailed article about “How to Build and Operate a Content Marketing Machine.”

He says, “The question is not ‘why?’ your organization should start with content marketing — that should have been answered already — it is ‘How?’”
Check it out, take notes, and most importantly define action items and set a due date for each.

Quick Tip: How to verify that Firefox sync has competed before turning “the device” off. (without any extra plugins)

Hello, friends,

I recently started to use Firefox Sync to make sure I have the latest bookmarks, passwords, et al. with me all the time on my desktop PCs and the notebooks.

What I find a bit disturbing is that Firefox does not let you know when the “sync” has completed successfully. That means, when you turn off the device too early, you might miss out some changes you have during the last session.

I brought that consideration to the support forum and could close “the case” in the meantime.

There might be mor eelegant solutions than this—less technical ones—but this approach works for me okay,

How to make sure that the synchronization has completed before you turn off the device.

Are you using a better, easier way?

Let us know.
