Tweet Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that one of my pet projects, Bannerize.me, will soon be phased out due to the upcoming Facebook profile changes. I decided that instead of letting all that hard work go to waste, I would send all current Bannerize.me users to a new site, Coverize.me. There are hundreds…
I am TOTALLY geeking out this week. Really, more than normal. First, there is Google+ which is taking up all of my free time. Then comes Spotify, which basically makes pretty much every song ever recorded 15 million songs available to stream on demand on your computer. For FREE!!! Since getting my account, it has taken my 3,500 song iTunes library and multiplied it by…a lot.
Tweet NOTE: Facebook isn’t happy about this workaround and is trying to put a stop to it. I’ve heard it still works for some but not for everyone. Since the recent launch of Google+, Facebook has frantically shut down any Google Chrome extension or tool that allows you to retrieve your friend’s email addresses. They…
Tweet So, I haven’t been around much lately, not because I didn’t want to blog, but because I’ve been working on this little idea I had. Now that the new Facebook profile layout was announced, you can personalize your Facebook profile with a banner! I’ve been working hard over the past two weeks to launch…
Tweet I am an extremely loyal consumer, and when I see companies using social media to reach out to their customers, it makes me like them even more. One company who has impressed me with their use of Twitter is GoDaddy. I have hosted Basically Becky through GoDaddy.com since my site’s inception in June 2009. I had…
Tweet If you haven’t noticed already, my site has been changed up just a bit. My site was built using Headway, a customizable theme for WordPress. The old Headway, version 1.6 was great….but the new Headway, version 2.0 is FANTASTIC! I still have lots to update, including my Twitter Backgrounds and Portfolio pages. Instead of…
Tweet I will admit it, I have become addicted to GetGlue. If you’ve never heard of it, the site can best be described as Foursquare for those that prefer to chill at home. And, lets face it, that’s pretty much where I am most of the time. With GetGlue, can check into TV shows and movies…
Tweet It was recently brought to my attention by @jselss that Google saves your web history and has been doing so for some time. Now, they are also using this information to fine-tune any searches you do. See Google’s explanation of Personalized Search below: I understand that Google is trying to make their search engine…
Tweet There are a lot of different third-party applications that claim to make your Twitter experience even better. One has certainly come in more handy than others for me, and that is Refollow. I have found with the more followers I get on Twitter, it becomes a lot more tedious to keep up. Once I…
Tweet This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LeapFish Inc. All opinions are 100% mine. When I was turning 13, my parents gave me a choice: A birthday party or a computer. As you may have guessed, I chose the computer. A birthday party lasted 3 hours. A computer would bring…
Tweet I recently came across a new social networking site called Knoyce. The word Knoyce is based on the word nice, but it implies that something is “better than just nice”. And that it is. Knoyce is a combination of all the great things on all sorts of social media sites. On Knoyce you can: Create a customized…
Tweet It is official. I am a “drop-a-holic”. I discovered EntreCard, a tool for bloggers to discover new blogs and get their blog seen as well. I’ve only been a member for a few days, but I’m already hooked. While skepticals may say that this will increase your bounce rate while other “drop-a-holics” just visit…
