How to visualize social networking.
And You May Ask Yourself, How Do I Work This?
I wanted to be able to explain to those new to social networking how all of the pieces fit together. Plus with feeds being shared back and forth, I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t creating any feed loops or leaving out any pieces. I use LinkedIn for business… [read full post]
More reasons to proofread your feed.
I subscribe to Amazon’s New Music Releases feed, but Amazon omits basic information from its feed, such as the name of the artist. The NAME. Of the ARTIST. Is NOT IN THE FEED. This is feed malpractice.
Ray LaMontagne’s new album “Gossip In The Grain” is getting great reviews, but you’d never know it from Amazon’s feed. Here’s… [read full post]

AI season 7 episode 37.

Three of them have been number one in the votes? That’s what Seacrest said.
Best to worst. Numbers are singing order.
5. David Cook – “Baba O’Riley.” The song, by The Whos, is often incorrectly called “Teenage Wasteland.” The beginning is much better than his last song. I hope he picks it up soon. When… [read full post]

Best to worst. Numbers are singing order.
7. David Cook – “All I Really Need Is You.” He opts for the acoustic guitar in round 2. This was a very solid performance. Rocking middle part, cool falsetto, smooth ending. Randy said he rocked the house, it was blazing. Paula is aware she’s on TV. Simon said… [read full post]

6. David Cook – “Music of the Night” (Phantom of the Opera). David grew up doing musical theater. Who knew? His eyes are closed. But his voice is strong. Plus he is singing for the camera. He’s not trying to grunge it up. Surprisingly pleasant. Randy thought it was amazing. Paula has brown hair. Simon said he… [read full post]

AI season 7 episode 31.

My expectations were low for today’s show. I have over 6000 songs in my iTunes library, but zero of them are Mariah songs. Mariah Carey turned out to be a very good vocal coach. The women generally disappointed, the men were generally pleasing. No obvious train wrecks, no obvious standouts. A real meh of a night.… [read full post]

3. Jason Castro – “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” Complete with Jason playing the ukulele. I love this version of this song (by Israel Kamakawiwo`ole). He’s not doing the “What a Wonderful World” half of the song, but the half he is doing he’s nailing. Very nice. Randy thought it was blazing hot. Paula Abdul has a new… [read full post]
