Python has lately been embraced as a web development language particularly after its use in web technology majors including Google. With the introduction of frameworks like Django, Python offers a viable and powerful web development language alternative.

Users of Google’s blogging product, Blogger, can now add Friend Connect to their blogs. The feature enables them to incorporate social networking to their blog. Now, that might seem a bit redundant. Isn’t a blog already social with comments?

Yes, but blogging isn’t a comprehensive social community. Granted, Friend Connect isn’t comprehensive, but it’s a simple way for those who don’t have the time or resources to build out a full-on social networking site.

Friend Connect is also a social media marketing tool. Users share their activity with others, so Blogger users might get new readers when it’s noted that Friend Connect users are reading them.

In the turbulent world of today’s economy, bankruptcy has become a painful and consistent reality. Companies that have been financial institutions have fallen victim to the market’s continued drop, however major corporations are not only the visible hits by the economy.

The latest SEO talk this week has been all about Google’s algorithm changes that presumably  favor big brands, but Microsoft Live Search has been experimenting with changes of its own that seemingly would help big brands the most (although ironically, big brands may not like it all that much).

Visual search engine SearchMe has launched a search advertising test and is looking for beta testers. The program is open to 500 participants who will get free advertising for 30 days.

“We are fusing together two popular advertising formats to drive better tracking of both ROI and branded advertising spend. We want consumers to know exactly what they’re getting before they even click on an ad,” said John Galatea, vice president of sales and marketing at SearchMe. “The combination of search marketing with the power of branded display ads creates more valuable clicks leading to increased conversions and that’s what advertisers want. The added qualification of seeing before clicking makes a huge difference for end users and advertisers and provides an exciting glimpse into the future of visual search advertising.”

If I had just one SEO tip to recommend to my fellow bloggers, it would be to write guest posts.

I recommend guest posting because link building is so important in SEO. Many webmasters neglect to build links so you’ll have a competitive advantage if you guest post. And the quantity and quality of your backlinks is the most important factor to ranking well for a wide variety of keywords and the competitive keywords with high search volume.

Sure, you can try other link building methods but these days guest posting gives you the best return for your time.  Here are a couple reasons why.

1. Links in the content: These type of links carry the most authority as opposed to sitewide links like the ones on the sidebar or footer.

2. Free: In this economy, free is good. Plus, paid links are more risky today with Google cracking down on more sites.

3. High success rate: Most bloggers seem to know what guest posting is and they don’t mind publishing quality content from other bloggers.

4. High quality traffic: The people who come to your blog after reading one of your guest posts are more likely to become repeat visitors.

5. Leads to more links: This applies more to guest posts published on popular blogs. Oftentimes the popular bloggers follow and link to each other.  If you get a post published on a popular blog, you’ll get on the radar of other popular bloggers. They might choose to follow your blog too, which can lead to future links.

6. Builds your network: With guest posting, you’ll be building your online network since you’re helping out your fellow bloggers. This can lead to possible collaboration projects in the future. Plus, blogging is much more fun when you’re connecting with other bloggers.

The word “did” should be in italics in the title above. The question was originally asked by NYTimes.com blog Gadgetwise, and it is indeed a valid one. Twitter was one of several ways that Barack Obama managed to show the Americans that he was a modern guy ready to tackle the modern problems, and to get his message across. But after being sworn into office, the Twitter account got quiet.

Why?

Maybe it’s a case of having to use more traditional channels, and the White House press office just don’t want Twitter in the fray. Or maybe it’s a matter of silly rules - the president can’t just use a service like that for competitive reasons, or whatever. To me, it sounds like he got what he wanted from Twitter, and now it’s time to get to work. If that is the case it is a faulty reasoning since his voters (i.e. followers) is his work.
