Describing the Pleasure of Squishing Dandelions Between Your Fingers as Linkbait?
Posted on | March 1, 2008 | 51 Comments
Several days ago I wrote a post about how Dandelions bring back memories of my childhood long past. The inspiration was contributing to my angst of knowing I had another birthday coming up and was not looking forward to it. Birthdays are something that I have not looked forward to as the years pass and this one was one that need to be pushed out of my mind. I wanted an escape from the everyday emotions of life that always seem to unravel right before our eyes.
This brought me to the inspiration of how could I create an emotional linkbait that would still motivate active users of social media to create a return of emotional investment by way of social recognition.
The experiment was a success in my opinion. It helped me to get to know several readers of the Collective-Thoughts blog much better than I would have if I were to have written a white paper about the intricacies of linkbait instead of showing the over all results. It also helped me, or should I say it pulled me out of one roll many have seen me in and placed me into an entire new position in their mind. By letting my guard down and describing a moment in my life I connected with a few more readers!
I am not going to discuss the over all numbers, the unique views, or how long each reader stayed. I will say I have been very surprised at the turnout and the results I have accumulated.
To sum things up for today. If you posted a review of my last post on Collective-Thoughts, check your StumbleUpon email in the coming days as I will follow up with the reviews of your sites very soon.
Thank you again for making my day that much more interesting.

I have used PDF’s for some time to get my sites indexed across multiple search engines. Today Tim Nash has let the world know his results and they are very interesting if you are creating content sites and wish to get your content indexed.
How long before we have a new company selling reviews in their PDF directory?
So let’s not waste anymore of your time, click on over to his blog and see his results on PDF’s.

What Do You Want In A Social News Voting Site?
Posted on | February 1, 2008 | 26 Comments
If you were to create a new social news voting site, what would be the most important benefits that you would add?
The past few weeks I have been very quiet about what I am up to. Looks like the secret is about to be unleashed. The past couple years I have followed how social media has grown into a 800 pound gorilla. I have joined nearly every social media related site and complied what I like most about each one. Now the time has come for me to let everyone know what is on the horizon. In the following weeks I will slowly introduce you to OurSocieties.
OurSocieties is a new social network and social news voting site that centers around the view that there are many niches that interconnect each of us.
Please be patient as we release each of our features over the following weeks as we are opening up in true beta format. But do tell me what you like and also dislike about social media as it will only help us grow. My goal is to be as transparent in the creating of OurSocieties as I can for the benefit of us all.
What I asking everyone that uses social media sites, if you were to launch your own site what would you want most?
When you have a minute, take the time to visit a new web development site at Fasiyanti
