Let’s use Bob Smith as an example. Bob is a New York personal injury attorney. …

If you’ve ever bought a new car, you know what a rush it is. There’s the new car smell, the feeling of power as you hit the accelerator, and the peace of mind knowing that you’ll have a reliable ride for a long, long time.

Are Presence Indicators Really Being Present?
A recent article by Web Worker Daily really got me thinking. The article talks about Twitter as a presence indicator.
With all the distractions that these programs and services provide, are we really being present? Are we being mindful, in touch equally with our rational and emotional minds?
I don’t see how.
I think Twitter kills productivity. I know that I’m more productive when I’m not blasting my presence to the world. And I think I’m more in touch with myself.
There’s a reason people typically …

LexisNexis Apologizes for Bad Link Tactics
A week ago, I gave LexisNexis the biggest jerk award. Basically, they ticked me off with what I consider impolite link building strategies.
It took a little while, but LexisNexis responded. The Senior Director of Traffic & Alliances posted a blog comment.
Apparently the email that really ticked me off was sent by a contractor that Lexis hired. Lexis has taken steps to ensure that this type of email isn’t sent in the future.
I’m glad Lexis owned up to their mistake. That definitely improves their image …
Twitter Kills Productivity, or Does It?
I’m on Twitter (aflusche). Are you?
But I think it’s killing my productivity. Twitter is one more distraction to deal with in our already busy world.
