Facebook Adds Authorship. Bloggers Take Note!

Facebook has released a new "authorship" feature that's powered by the Author meta tag. If this sounds remarkably similar to Google's Authorship which was shuttered last year, that's because it is.

Blog Promotionology, The Art & Science of Blog Promotion

There are some who suggest that when you're comparing your time spent writing blog posts with your time spent promoting blog posts, it should be an 80/20 ratio, with the bulk of your time spent getting that post out in front of more and more people. Honestly, I don't subscribe to that.

What Is Going On With Google Plus?

Perhaps you've seen the news, perhaps you haven't, but once again, Google has made some decisions and course-corrections with Google+ that have caused a bit of a ruckus. Naysayers are naysaying again, and fanboys are getting as desperate as the Cubs to spin a win out of things.

How to Create Your Own Ebook Using Google Slides

Top Tools for Efficient and Effective Content Marketing

Let's face it. I'm a tool whore. I like to use 'em, and I like to share and talk about 'em. Of course, the tools I'm talking about are digital tools. If you see me carrying a hammer, run the other way, because something's more likely to become broken than fixed in a moment.
