Bookmarks Explosion 2 January 2008

Bookmarks ExplosionWow! Three weeks since my last post! Time really flies when you get busy eh?!

Anyway, let’s have a bookmarks explosion to explode into my first post in 2009!

  1. Are you learning to be a better blogger? Stop it, because that is a total waste of time. At least that is what Jonathan says.
  2. Doing an SEO project? You have to know your keywords! Here’s how. Check out this awesome Keyword Strategy Flowchart and Search Traffic Growth Profile Guide, both from SEO book.

  16. HTML 5 looks awesome, but that’s 3 years to come. Hopefully by then I’d be lazing on the beach with an enterprise of web developers doing the coding though.
  17. Camtasia Studio and Camstudio. Mix them together, and you get uTipu. Awesome free video capture software.
  18. Now you have Google docs on your desktop. I really wonder what Microsoft has to say about this, and their plans for Ms Office.
