Twitter/Summize search flaky?

I’ve started to post more on my twitter account recently. Less than two weeks ago, Twitter bought Summize. Good for them; I like both companies. But http://search.twitter.com/search?q=wordpress+mattcutts should return this entry in Twitter’s search results. I don’t see it in Twitter’s search results: What’s the story, Twitter/Summize folks? I can’t escape the feeling that I would [...]

Best WordPress Plugin for Related Posts?

On my “Matt Cutts” twitter account a few days ago I asked other folks which WordPress “Related Posts” plug-in they would recommend. It seems like “Related Posts” extensions go in and out of vogue every few years, so I wanted to hear what smart folks were using lately. The plugins that got recommended the [...]

I love my pedometer

I’ve written about my Omron pedometer once before, but I wanted to mention it again because I like it so much.

Generic Toolbar Indexing Debunk Post

For example, I just saw that a new product called TuneUp will clean up your filenames, metadata, and cover [...]
