Twitter Username Problem Fixed – I can Tweet Again!

By Jose Uzcategui November 20th, 2009 Personal No Comments

You know how I’ve been complaining about the username problem that wouldn’t let me use third party applications? Well, it’s fixed! YAY!

It was roughly a month without Twitter for me – except for the odd Tweet. At first, I didn’t think much about it. But 2 weeks in this no-Twitter life I noticed my offline life was also being affected. For example, I was (and still am) no longer aware of the hot networking events that are going on around the city.

Vancouver SEM New Ning Community

By Jose Uzcategui November 17th, 2009 Social Media No Comments

Vancouver SEMs have a new Ning community to ask and answer questions, exchange ideas, and network online: http://vancouversem.ning.com.

Following the success of the Vancouver SEM Meetup Group we would like to invite all of you SEMs, SEOs, PPCs (can you PPCs?) and those who have questions about the topic to join and participate.

The Ning site is being spear headed by Ani Lopez, a Spaniard SEO who recently made the move to Vancouver.

On that note, Ani made a fantastic work making connection and making as smooth of a transition as possible using social media. You can read about his experience on his blog.

Going Through Some Changes…

By Jose Uzcategui November 10th, 2009 Personal No Comments

I haven’t posted anything for a while. That’s because there are some changes on the way.

Don’t think for a second that there’s no movement on this side of the world. It’s like Disney World, sometimes the haunted house is closed for repairs….

Expect some updates next week me explaining what’s going on. I know is rough but don’t panic – don’t do it.

And thanks to Gilderic for the photo.
