Doing initial research of SEO techniques this weekend and ended up with a lot of open questions and TODOs, of course. This article is sort of an internal report (albeit public) and reminder (reminding me not to leave an article). During this research, I’ve stumbled upon a number of tips, topics, and tools/services. SEO: tips, topics, and tools/services Tips are numerous to mention. The...

is celebrating Slava. Friends are arriving… those who manage to fight the snow, that is. :-)
Shonzilla: is being threatened for cybersquatting. There’s up to $100,000.00 at stake. http://tinyurl.com/ywqsp9

Today I am celebrating my Slava and to make the event more exciting I’ve found the most unlikely present in my inbox. The Present It was a cease-and-desist letter that came from CitizenHawk, a company offering digital brand management solutions (i.e. protecting companies against cybersquatting), representing an another company with the name similar to my online nickname. I’ll avoid...

Dr Shonzilla or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying...
In my previous post I wrote what I expect from an email service (i.e. more than I did a year ago :-)) and should probably too. Email has been around longer than any other service we’ve been using in our online lives. Over time, we only became more demanding. Email love affair: a recap Our affair with email begun with just having one. Then we wanted one separate from our ISP. Then everyone...

Shonzilla: After open social networking (i.e. OpenSocial), I am getting all hyped up with open mobile (i.e. Android). I’ll play with it 4 sure. :-)

Shonzilla: Another fianceé´s birthday party finished without casualties. It was nice, warm and cozy.
Shonzilla: @Nowindi En realidad, OpenSource no es una red social sino un fondo para desarrollarlas a través de unos APIs (http://tinyurl.com/2fhxqd).
Shonzilla: Author of “Don’t Make Me Think” Steve Krug talks about usability: http://tinyurl.com/3yepjr
Shonzilla: Facebook applications tsunami gives me creeps. Where has all true love gone?
Shonzilla: @jbond You could ask @techcrunch. I’d say it was all orchestrated from Google HQ. Strategy: create buzz, release early, then release often.
Shonzilla: Working towards The Email Nirvana - organized, redundant, tagged, accessible from web, IMAP, and mobile. :-)
Dr Shonzilla or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying...
This is how I’ve learned to stop worrying and love the email, ultimately reaching The Email Nirvana. A pattern-seeking prologue As an übergeek I tend to play and work with technology on daily hourly basis. Over time I’ve realized how important it is to make the best of my time (as other smart people have I like to thing ;-)) by automating as much as possible and adding...
Shonzilla: @jbond Your rant about OpenSocial puts in words everything I was not able to, and more. :) Thanks for that!
Shonzilla: Facebook, they’ve built it will you come? ;-) http://tinyurl.com/ytc6af

Google OpenSocial API premature review
This short review has been based on an early sample using the inofficial release of long-awaited Google OpenSocial API. Thanks to Gaurav for pointing it out. The sample is a mash-up of a MySpace page and author’s Flixster account using OpenSocial API. Better said, parts of it. I’ll explain why. What can be learned from this sample is that OpenSocial API is a JavaScript library. The...
Shonzilla: @Scobleizer Was I trigger-happy to review OpenSocial API? ;-) http://shonzilla.tumblr.com/post/18132851
Shonzilla: @rickmurray OpenSocial is a great (& successful) PR stunt that’s for sure. Please explain how it’s “neither open nor collaborative”. Thanks!
Shonzilla: has the first (?) (and premature) review of OpenSocial API: http://shonzilla.tumblr.com/post/18132851
