TweetPhoto Goes Live: The Next Big Twitter Photo-Sharing Service?
Posted by Matt Brown in Technology on May 4, 2009
I am always on the constant lookout for the latest and coolest Twitter apps and services. And that pretty much includes Twitter photo-sharing services as well. Just recently a new Twitter photo-sharing service called TweetPhoto was launched. I haven’t gotten a chance to try it out yet; I’ve only signed but I can already tell that it might just be the next big photo-sharing tool for Twitter since Twitpic. Here is a quick rundown and review of what TweetPhoto is all about. Read the rest of this entry »

Twitter: Ultimate Time Waster or Great Tool?
Posted by Matt Brown in Daily Ramblings on March 4, 2009
I was reading a blog that I subscribe to today and came across this post. It is too good to pass on, so I figured I would share it with you all.
This is the complete post from the Blog of 10e20. Chris Winfield gave a presentation on the effectiveness of Twitter all by using Twitter and it hits the nail on the head. Enjoy!
Yesterday I presented at SES Toronto along with Lee Odden and Dave Snyder on a panel called ‘Twitter: Ultimate Time Waster, or Great Tool?’ I figured that in order to show how Twitter actually works – it would be best to use Twitter to do it. Here’s the results of the experiment and an extended version of my presentation. Also if you’re on Twitter and would like to follow me – here’s my profile: http://twitter.com/themattbrown

My New Theme…..again
Posted by Matt Brown in Daily Ramblings, themattbrown.com on February 15, 2009
So last week you probably saw my post my New Setup on my blog. It was a really cool JQuery inspired blog with lots of cool motion/action and little loading of new pages. Well, it turned out to be a whole lot more trouble because plugins were clashing due to the overloading amount of Javascript.
So today and yesterday I sought on a quest to totally redesign my theme from scratch. And this current theme is what I came up with! My first question is what do you think about it?!?!? please leave your comments below!
It’s a simple, neat and fresh looking theme, yet highly effective:
Basic features:
- Optimized for speed and loading time
- SEO optimal titles
- SEO optimal page layout and headings
- XHTML/CSS valid
- Customized 404 page
- 3 column theme
- Integrated Social bookmark buttons
- Integrated Multi Page widget
- Prints parent category in title
- Incoming Google image searches are expanded to site
- Adsense ready
My Take:
I am pretty happy with my work. I made a big emphasis on the SEO aspect of the site when designing it as I want to start getting some advertising revenue eventually on the site. Therefore, I made it Adsense ready. I also included a lot of social networking support .
The two level navigation is also a nice integration I think because it can save space and provide a way for the user to highlight the important categories of the blog. I’m pretty happy with the color scheme and the font types. The colors used have a cool and soothing effect to the eyes and the font types are easy to read. It’s also widget-ready, even though I hand-code instead of using widgets. The thing I love most about my theme is how fast it loads. The combination of a fast load as well as full SEO makes it pretty desireable. Hopefully my analytics and traffic in the next few weeks will reflect this.
Do you like this theme and would you be interested in purchasing to use on your blog? Why or why not?
