Integrated Social Media Interaction
I’ve been trying to find the best environment that can help me to manage my social media interaction, all in one place. The best I ever had was Ping.fm which can provide me with easy status updates upon multiple social networks (I counted, there are at least 45 social network being supported by Ping.fm). But the lack point is, it only provides me a one way access, to broadcast my updates without any area to watch how others are doing.
Subdomains VS Subdirectories
For you that host your website on your own domain name, there would be a time when you start thinking about creating a new group of information or simply trying to add a different website to your domain. And since a web-hosting service implements file management system (which involving files and folders), it is a common thing when people simply create a new folder to help them manage their content (and help others to see the differences).
Well, a well-organized web-hosting space is important, and yes creating a new folder to group things up is simply correct. But the way the search engine crawls your website is something that requires more of your consideration.
I landed on Matt Cutts’ explanation about subdomains and subdirectories in Google (read it here), and I learnt one conclusion;
If you’re simply trying to deliver a more-in-depth whatever your domain is talking about, then you can just create a new subdirectory (http://domain.com/folder)
Meanwhile, if you are creating a totally different website with content that doesn’t related to your primary domain name, then go for subdomain (http://subdomain.domain.com)
I found this is useful, because I am involved with numerous websites which sometimes required the right approach.
Shortening Your URL
Recently I’ve been working alot with Google Docs, since I need a simple and secure way to collaborate with my team-workers (and share it online). It’s easier, because I only need to pass the url to my colleagues, instead of sending an email with file attached on it (it consume my time, my bandwith, and my patience).
The only down-side, is that long url they provide for each document. It’s hard to remember, even when my firefox address bar shows recently opened url, I can’t tell which one is which. So I decided that I need a way, to make short url for my links.
