I’m not a Social Media Guru

I’m not a Social Media Guru

I’m often introduced to people as a Social Media Guru. It drives me crazy, I have never once given myself that title nor have I accepted it. I understand that we humans have to have boxes, or rather labels for everything.

(Besides I dislike being put in a box, you might call it a postmodern thing.) (more…)

SEO and International Characters in Domain Names

SEO and International Characters in Domain Names

Double Byte FontsWe all know our normal latin characters. We know them world-wide because English is the primary trade language.

We also know that the Internet has been based on the latin character set. There has been a shift away from this to UTF-8 encoding. But there is now a larger shift.
