This nifty little site was featured on Netted (a great daily email that shares a new website every day) back in February. If you like eggs – this is the site for you.
You answer a few questions about your egg – how large is the egg, was it in the refidgerator, how soft do you want it to be. EggWatchers tells you how long your egg needs to be cooked and finds a fun YouTube video for you to watch while your egg cooks.
Here is a great post from WPBeginner.com with step by step instructions on setting up a Google Analytics account for your WordPress blog. This post includes screen shots for setting up an account with Google Analytics and adding the code to your blog.
WPBegginer also offers some helpful information on why you want to use Google Analytics to learn more about the traffic to your blog.
I am reading this right now and I can’t stop talking about this book. I think Tara Hunt has done an excellent job of explaining how social media can be used to build social capital. I am especially fond of this book because I think it is written in a style and tone that anyone can understand, you don’t need to have a twitter account to know what she is talking about.
I first met Chris at Podcamp Pittsburgh a few years ago and I enjoy reading his blog (ChrisBrogan.com) on a daily basis. I am looking forward to reading more of his thoughts on the subject of using online tools to build trust – I think this might be a great follow up read to The Whuffie Factor.
Chris Brogan has posted a video review of this book here. Tara Hunt discusses Gary Vaynerchuk and his social media successes in The Whuffie Factor and I am eager to read more.

I think this quick article from the July 2009 issue of Inc is a great example of how Twitter can be useful for business. In this article, Lorien Gabel, who is the CEO of Pingg, talks about how he has used Twitter to get valuable feedback about his company.
Unlike many people, I don’t use Twitter to send out a constant stream of updates. Instead, I monitor what people are saying about us and about our competitors. I use TweetDeck, a simple, free software program that allows me to search for up to 10 terms on Twitter at once. Whenever a Twitter user mentions pingg, Evite, Evite alternative, party planning, or event planning, the message pops up. If someone has a complaint about pingg, we send a response and try to address it. If someone praises pingg, we’ll respond and say thanks. It’s a very easy way to build community online — much easier than getting your users to friend you on Facebook.
What I say is immensely important than who I am. Let the search be for the meaning and substance in my words rather than the intricacies of my existence.
