WSJ.com Adds SeenThis?

Not many "seen it" yet




I enabled the SeenThis? widget by Loomia on my WSJ.com subscription, and invited a few newsy friends on FaceBook to join in. Only one did. That's too bad because the widget tells me what my friends are reading on WSJ when I'm on the site, and 9,999 other news sources when I'm on FB. Because fewer than 100 total people are actively using the widget on FB, I'm guessing that many people are encountering the same UX as me - a perfect mirror of my own reading habits.



SEO Haikus

Today I gave an in-house presentation on SEO strategy. At finish, my co-presenter delivered these three haikus I wrote:

Google flattens sites
Every little detail page
Can now be a star

Don't make promises
Lightly. Users give you three
Seconds or they leave

Get links to your site
Make sure they are relevant
To the detail page
