Google +1 in Wrong Place?
I signed up for the experimental Google +1 search at the first chance. At first it looks like a good idea, then after doing some organic searches I realized that with the +1 being on Google Search results it is actually in the wrong place. Let’s say you do a search for Acoustic Guitar Pickups, [...]
How To Post On Facebook Page As Myself
With the new Facebook Page layout we can finally post or comment on a page with our personal account, or with the page account. Before this change you could only post or comment on a Fan page as the page itself. To switch between accounts, click on the Account pulldown box at the top left [...]
Facebook Messages
Facebook Messages will not replace email as a whole, but it does have the potential to help Facebook become a much larger player in messaging. Even before this new release I had several people that I communicated with only on Facebook, and I see more and more of this as we move forward. The biggest [...]
New CyberCoded Micro Messaging site

Basic authentication was to be turned off and only applications using OAuth should be working as of August 31, 2010. A Twitter Application using OAuth has to have a name, and this name [...]

If you are in front of the right audience, you get traffic, and the opportunity for new business. The difference on the Internet, Geo Location, Geo Location, Geo Location. And it is [...]
Social Media…The Other Word of Mouth
While watching movie trailers at the theater I was amazed at how many large companies put their Facebook and Twitter addresses ahead of their own website. And some of these websites are amazing works of art. These businesses realize that social media is as close to word of mouth advertising as it gets. And pretty [...]
Twitter Authentication Switch to OAuth
If you use any API calls to Twitter you have until June 30th to make the switch to OAuth from Basic Authentication. It will be interesting to see how this changes the data flow in and out of Twitter. See Twitter Blog: Switching to OAuth Until recently I was still seeing a lot of Tweets [...]
