Finding time: To blog or to tweet !?

Posted: March 19th, 2009 | Author: Mihai Bojin | Filed under: General, Web | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »

Lately I’ve been having problems finding time to write on my blog… that and the fact that I’m tweeting all my ideas.

I think that it’s faster to get the information out there using Twitter. Let me explain:

  • you have to write only 140chars (including the link to a useful resource)
  • you can do it very fast using a desktop client like TweetDeck
  • you don’t have to think of a catchy title
  • you don’t have to find appropriate tags
  • you don’t have to write meta tags, meta descriptions and excerpts

Probably there are more reasons for using Twitter, but there’s one thing you cannot do on it, and that’s write something credible and of authority. If you have an article or tutorial to write, you just cannot sum it up in 140 characters.

So I realized that I have to find time to write all my ideas and facts I’ve come across on the blog and afterwards comment about it on twitter !

I hope to find time to write some new articles as soon as possible, as right now I have at least 5-6 topics.

You can follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/mihaibojin, and I’ll most certainly follow you back if you’re not a bot and you have at least some remote interest about coding and/or technology !


The new Canonical url rel-tag

I just read on SEOmoz that a new rel tag was announced to be supported by Search engines: "canonical".

From what I understand you will be able to tag different pages with the <link rel="canonical" href="original page url" /> tag.

This means that you’ll be able to cover a whole bunch of potential duplicate content within your site. A quick application for this would be the merging of pages that are typed case insensitive, for example:

  • /Page
  • /PagE
  • /PAGE

could all be marked as canonical to "/page".

For more information please read the canonical tag article on SEOmoz.
