Yahoo ID Needed for MyBlogLog
September 28th, 2007
Not sure if this is old news or not but Yahoo have changed MyBlogLog so you know have to use your Yahoo ID to sign in. Maybe so Yahoo can keep data better, maybe so people can link through to all of Yahoo’s other services maybe both!
Well it seems the web is going to consist of 3 logins soon, MSN Passport, Yahoo ID and a Google account…
The Future is Here
September 3rd, 2007
There have been a huge number of rumors and ideas of mobile phones becoming everything we need, we’ve seen a good start from Apple with the new next gen phone, the iPhone.
Now thanks to 5 of the leading mobile phone brands we can start using our phone as a credit card. They are releasing it in the UK very soon. Source link is here
Whoops
August 24th, 2007
Since I’m constantly logged into MyBlogLog and I read a fair few blogs, it automatically signs me up to their community. This isn’t a problem, the problem is a lot of high PR links from these communities linking to my profile page on MyBlogLog has made it rank over this blog for my name, Dudibob
Only Google has done this, this blog still ranks number one for Dudibob on Yahoo and MSN even though Yahoo own MyBlogLog. Maybe Google should take a look at Yahoo about favourism…

Google Reader Gets Gears
July 12th, 2007
Google have recently implemented Google Gears in with Google Reader which is brilliant for someone in my situation. Google Gears now allows you to view your last 2000 items (that’s a lot of reading material) from Gooogle Reader offline.
The reason I say it’s great for me because I have recently have moved home and BT seem reluctent in turning my phone line on so this is a big helpfor me to stay in the know
Problems with Netbenefit Hosting
July 9th, 2007
Netbenefit, a hosting company seems to of caused major problems with the search engines for all (if not a lot!) of it’s customers due to them hijacking their own clients sites.
Basically… this is very bad! What happens is that each site on Netbenefits servers have been duplicated and the search engines have been picking up the duplicates and ignoring the actual site, and throwing links at it won’t help because of the way the server is set up
My main thought is will Netbenefits sort this out or will they loose a fair chunk of their clients when they realise what has happened?
Thanks to Peter (a great guy :)) for pointing out the Netbenefit hosting problems to me and DaveN has written up a more in-depth look into the hosting problems
Google Supplemental Searches
July 6th, 2007
Rand over at SEOmoz has posted a good article detailing the use and the importance of being able to search supplemental pages of a site. It is one of the most annoying things having to go through 16,000 pages trying to find supplemental results then finding out why there supplemental (throwing links at a page doesn’t always help).
Rand mentions that the query to see just supplemental results from a site isn’t working (the ’site:yoursite.com *** -asdf’ search), well I’ve tried it on a few things and it works fine for me and if it ever does stop working, highlight the ‘asdf’ part (don’t touch that minus!) and do the keyboard mash so you end up with something like ’site:yoursite.com *** -fjiafaijf’ works just as well.
The main reason for this post is because I can’t comment on your site Rand! When I click reply it just highlights the button, very annoying, so hopefully this trackback will let you know
