How to Microblog your Blogpost : Hello to my Twitter pals!

 How to Microblog your Blog Post







Social media is built around tweets, Youtube, texts, Instys, Pinterest and to some extent, Stumbleupon.
Your blog post gives you the freedom of more words and images, infografics etc. Or does it?
Human attention span lasts for 30 minutes on a topic that they care about. Your blogpost, along with mine is never a priority.
If you live with teenagers, you know that only 3 things will make them care: Food, shelter and the iOS/ #android.

This is your chance to capitalize on 10 items or less and 140 characters or less culture. BTW, INBD tho, but FB is not very #fetch ( a nod to #meangirls ). After five years on it, TISNF, but who cares.
All we want to do is selfies and tweet our shopping. In a poor economy, nothing makes your look  er.. I am lost for adjectives and adverb-eage.
 Microblog is anything from Twitter to Stubleupon.

Social media etiquette for  microblogging  your work:

I have many people reading my posts and some of you are wonderful. Thank you so much for your support. Please tweet me if you want to featured on my blog!



  • Dont be a Twitter troll.
  • Dont flood the twitter space with offensive images.
  • Keep pics of Lingerie to your DMs, with permission.
  • Dont tag anything without formal permission, regardless of the user's settings.
  • ( If I take the pic and tag your id with it, would you be happy?)
  • If you did do that, delete, apologize sincerely, admit to the pettiness behind it and move on.
Last I checked people have lost millions over awful remarks.
Twitter pals are very  important, but beware the tweeter who has a following of  40K without being a subject matter expert or a media person or the like. These tweeps collect followers. After 200 followers, what schedule are  you  following to pay individual attention? Does this mean that you don't work?

 Individual attention, followed by regular group tweet acknowledging some of your good pals is the currency for a meaningful following.

The power of the Retweet, re-pin and like 

Not to mention the fave on twitter!
Yes RT is awesome, but sometime I need a "verytrue " or "Trudat" button .
A retweet is the laziest form of endorsement. Also the most ambiguous. If you are re-tweeting my '???" and were not a part of the original convo, please modify your tweet. What do you mean by a retweet of my ???. All I seek is a clear explanation for this kind of behavior!
I dont know you from Jack, so your tweets are everything. You could be a 21 yr old with an Angrybird obsesh, which is loved by pets too BTW, or a 300lb trucker who always mistypes that as thst. It happens a lot, but when you type" besutiful" 67 times in a 1 week window, I am beginning to think that it is a word in a foreign dictionary.
FYI, there are faves, RT and MT. MTs are modified tweets where you add your own words, but acknowledge that you are modifying, using via and + or "" for the body of the main tweet.

If you are nice, leave comments telling me how James Thurber my writing is, I will show you some real drunken tweeting adventures.

Misleading Titter stats: Saudis tweet a lot, Some countries have banned Twitter, so what is the likely hood of your gaining visibility by tweeting to a specific audience?  What group will get your post the highest visibility via RTs? Sadly, the 20 yr old.  The  20 something across  the world loves telling us about the "haps". My multivariate analyses show that at any given time, they are also less involved in #socialchange #socialgood, not so LOL!

ANDROID APP FOR BLOGGERS : Blogger Google Inc., Added November 10, 2013


If you have an android device, you must maximize your chances of being followed, for your blog at least.
There are some apps that will make your life easier.

I interviewed several bloggers for device stats and I found that even if some bloggers got an Android tablet as a gift, they have been using a desktop. With the great mobility that an android device affords you, how could you not blog from it?

My survey did reveal an growing niche': The gamers who use android devices.
Invariably they all have their cheat sheets, tips, criticisms of their competitions strategies.






Here is an app that my friends have been raving about. Well, not all of them.
Some claim that the post disappears, and that they cannot save anything.
Some like the idea behind the app but say that Google is inconsistent.
There were 22334 recommendations on Google..
Here are some more stats:

3.7
34,978 total
5 ***** 15,766
4 **** 6,630
3 *** 4,911
2 ** 2,639
1 * 5,032

Installs : 1,000,000 - 5,000,000

Do you see something awful about these numbers?
1) If you want to write about blogging related stats, the first question that you should ask: What is the sample size??

Are you saying that the installs is the sample size?
The sample size is a subset of the installs.
Not every blogger has used it.
Not every blogger has used it more than twice.

Perhaps these number can be better explained by a statement like this:
There were between 1 to 5 million installs since Nov 2013. Of these 22k responded with a review?

2) How and when were these data collected?





Not the best infographic for your tweet! People will feel that it is incomplete information.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.blogger


What do you do when you have the advantage of mobility but not the most ideal saving /editing app?







I also wanted to get some insight from my readers about Gems in sight, Are there any new games that you like better than Angrybirds? Is , better yet, Rovio coming up with better games?
Will you please tweet your opinion to @johnny20201?




TEST YOUR BACKLINKS : HERE'S HOW!




Backlinks are not links in the back.

They are the ones that are likely to drive traffic to your blog.

By the way, I did read your post!

The description of your neighbor's pets' fight with you over the car hood has gotten you some fans.
You are an adult and you were defeated by a puppy and two cats.
Almost all decent people have to suffer this at some point.
Nothing sells like embarrassment, and defeat by cats.





Finally, the real you is breaking out of the invisible chains you let limit you.
There is a very distinct evolution of thought and once you start writing, there is a new you.

By the 12th post the writer in you is hooked on delivering unique, clean content.
I will be back to my sarcastic self, make jokes about bloggers in general, but I want to take this moment to enjoy the results of persistence.

Now that you have put in all that work, tell me something:

HOW ARE YOU MARKETING the content?
Please use pinging services.
How to test for good pinging services:

This will not be quick but it can be done.

HOW TO TEST YOUR BACKLINKS

Look at the stats of your post.
(Every newbie checks several times a week. You might as well put it to good use.)

Now, create two identical posts. Ping one of the post and don't ping t eh other. Then look at the stats, ideally after 1 week.
Remember how I talked to you about creating unique content based on your aunt's unique skills?

Lets write it down.
Now copy it, give the copies two different titles.

I am glad I cleared some time for us.
This sharing is, for some reason, so therapeutic.

SEO, Alexa Ranks: I have some bad news and some bad mews..

Hey there!
I have been wanting to talk to you about search engine optimization and the keyword density of your blog posts.
You finally started a blog and it is about your hobby, your cats and how the minimum wage increase will not be very useful overall.

I was new to the concept of SEO and so I decided to carry out some tests.
There is a tester in all of us. Here is why you benefit from my having tested the SEO theories and apps.

If you want to populate your post with the SEO keywords 'David is a pick pocket' 300 times ...., its keyword density and SEO ranking wont go through the roof.
The algorithm is as complex and sensitive as your mother's ability to tell that you are lying.
This is also true of my mom. Both ladies can tell when you are lying because you fidget so much.
I on the other hand have studied statistics.









I also steer clear of the ladies on lasagna night.
Please see my former post to understand why this is of great importance.
That is the bad news. Now go change that / edit that recent post, "Non-parametric approaches to the assessment of healthcare enrollment in January 2014, a case study."
The bad mews: You left your tablet on and your cat sat on it for sometime. It was warm and you showed him the mouse app.. its your own fault that the mouse in the app looked so-o edible. Now your tablet's virtual keyboard has an unresponsive 'e'.


I did not want to tell you last night because you were wearing your St.Patty's hat, the fluorescent green shirt and dockers. You looked like you had given up, so why bother you with more news and mews?
Your cat, like my cat was only trying to help by sitting on your face. He figures that your suffering should end when you are passed out from the St.Patty's liquor. When he saw that you were still breathing, he woke you up because he could not eat that tablet mouse and now he is hungry.

Alexa ranking.

No Alexa is not your girlfriend's cousin once removed (from the church) and twice arrested.
It is a measure of traffic but it should not be your only "meter" if you will. Also, it is useful only if your audience has it in their browser's toolbars (This information won't be useful for your neighbors' flea market blog because they firmly believe that a toolbar belongs in the garage/shed or any similar structure.)

WHY ARE YOU NOT BLOGGING YET?? : Blogger statistics and devices REVISITED.


Why aren't you blogging YET?
What is your excuse?
As I said in my first post bloggers are everywhere and just about everyone is blogging.
Further, I will prove to you that not blogging is hurting you. Everyone is good at something!
Your excuse now is that you are not a writer.
Yes, especially after all your writing on FB wall and all those tweets..
Did you start gardening? Window farming?
Are you a graphic artist?
Are you hating the syllabus in your CS 400 level algorithms class?




Now, my argument has gathered strength.. blogging can be therapeutic.
You are not just blogging, but for a good measure, you are documenting. I don't mean receipts for taxes, but there is a documentation of your thought process.

(I gathered some more stats and wonderful visualizations but the authors haven't gotten back to me yet!!)
In United States and Europe, bloggers are everywhere. I already told you that so don't shake you head.
How does the rest of the world look?
Warning: Once you look at the numbers, I feel that you will want to blog in Mandarin!





http://wearesocial.sg/blog/2013/01/social-digital-mobile-china-jan-2013/
























These graphics were generated in 2013. Since then, the general distribution and the shape of the graphs may have changed. By now the numbers have most likely increased. My question: Do the medians change as well? The modality of the chart, I know for a fact would have changed.. that is the trend prior to reaching saturation in most markets.
Oh yes, this is the first that I am not being flip. Stats and data are so important to all of us.
I would blog about the stats where you find out a lot about you, where you stand what demographic you belong to if citing and permissions were easier. I have emailed 6 sites about permissions.. they haven't gotten back to me.


excellent review

Blogging house geometry, fashioned after Ogden Nash's Boarding-house Geometry

Blogosphere geometry fashioned after Ogden Nash's Boarding-house Geometry


Hello Bloggers!
I have so many things to share in this post!!
I wanted to run some things by you .
The blogosphere is a subset of the internet and phone using population.
From what I have seen in reports, more than 35% of internet users blog.
Of these female internet users are more likely to blog than men.
Of the female bloggers, at least half are moms.
Now for the theorems:
The Frequency of blog posts Bf is inversely proportional to the number of demanding dwellers in a residence and falls off by a square of the distance from the place of work.

In other words the longer the distance/commute to work, the fewer the posts. You heard it here!

Frequency Bf of blog posts is directly proportional to the ease of access and the speed of the internet.
It also varies greatly with the speed and user-friendliness of your device.
The very arbitrary constant that is constantly arbitrary is the demanding child/pet/in-law/pet-in-law/spouse/mother-in-law and the like. If your job is to handle Social media from an office then I am a little sorry for you.
Because now it is the distance from the annoying co-worker or the boss( enough said).



What region of the world is most likely to blog for-ever and ever?
I assumed that most of the world's most frequent social media users would be from the frozen over tundra.
Nope.


It is not Russia, not Spain, not Brazil,or China. You would think that the Scottish or the Irish would write the best blogs because their weather can be a bit.. well..different!
Will you try to find out what region of the blog has the highest number of social media entries?
Who spends the most time on Social Media sites?

AUSTRALIA!

Naturally, I was just as surprised as you may have been.
However, United states exceeds Australia in its population.

If Aussies spend more time on Social Media, then what is the most popular make of the most popular device used by Aussies?
According to Skynews.au, Androids are gaining ground in Australia.
http://www.skynews.com.au/tech/article.aspx?id=955256
iPad sales may have slowed down a bit.

In the United states, the iPad has increased in sales in the past couple of years.

From what I heard when talking to bloggers: There is nothing like the traditional keyboard.

I then wanted to find out what the quickest route to popularity via social media was: instys(Instagrams), tweets and plenty of photos. Careful how you tag them though.


So why a tablet and not a laptop?
Weight price , apps.. there are many considerations.
Also, a tablet is ideal for reading and tweeting.
The capacitive-touch enhanced experience will only rise in popularity from what I see, read and hear.

To wind up, in addition to the blogging house geometry, the Android tablet is very likely to become a constant in the world of blogs, microblogs and tweets.
Any stocks/ options come to mind based on these stats?

Some apps and sites you can use for your social media are:

http://www.hashtags.org
Neilson.com
http://statcounter.com/
Awstats
HitTail

I hope you use these. Let me know how your blog is going!
One very important theorem for blog traffics is that time invested is directly proportional to the views, after adjusting for topic and widgets and of course the all important network.
