Yahoo! Social: "Should I tweet something more than once?":

yahoosocial:

Bit.ly recently released a study that suggested socially shared links have a life span of about 3 hours (in other words, they’ve sent about all the traffic they’re going to send). This could be due to fading attention spans online, users not being online at the time, etc.

With that being…

“In an interview on the Jim Rome show Tuesday, former Iowa K Kyle Schlicher said Chargers SS Bob Sanders is one of the most mentally tough individuals he has ever met. Schlicher, a former teammate of Sanders, says he has coached over 5,000 men in helping them prepare for Navy SEALs BUDs training. “Wow,” Sanders said. “That is definitely a great compliment.” Chargers RapidReports”

Twitter promotion in comments

I’ve started using “@bryanbrackney” instead of “Bryan Brackney” in the “Name:” form of comment boxes on blogs and websites. Hopefully this will be a good strategy for getting my twitter out there.

It's Official: Google+ Pulled In 10 Million Users In Two Weeks:

Larry Page on today’s Google earnings call:

Good afternoon everyone—thanks for joining us today

It’s exciting to be on the call today and to share directly with you the progress we have made in my first quarter as CEO

As you will have seen from our press release we had a great quarter—with revenue up by 32 per cent year on year and a new record for quarterly revenue at over $9 billion!

We have substantially increased our velocity and execution this quarter—a key goal of mine since taking over as CEO

It’s why I created a new, product focused management structure—with a clear leader responsible for each product area

This new management team is working together fabulously … and has already achieved a lot in just three months

First we launched Google+ to field trial invitation only

Our goal with Google+ is to make sharing on the web like sharing in real life, as well as to improve the overall Google experience

Circles let you choose with precision who you are sharing with. Not surprisingly this has been very well received, because in real life, we share different things with different people.

Hangouts allow for serendipitous interactions. Like in real life when you run into a few friends. It gives you seamless and fun multi user video and it’s really amazing!

Last quarter, we launched the +1 button in search results and ads—enabling users to recommend stuff they liked, and have those recommendations show up in the search results of people they know

This quarter, we released +1 buttons to the entire web, and many sites like Huffington Post, the Washington Post and Best Buy have added +1 buttons

Google+ is still only in field trial with limited access as we scale the system
Users have to be invited, sign up with a profile in order to use it

However, the growth on Google+ has been great—and I’m excited to release some new metrics for you today

Over 10M people have joined Google+

he is not leaving a team like the Raiders – where they have the best fans that die for the team…

if he does leave – sellout move, Al gave him a ton of money already , and the Raiders offered him another good deal…

if its about winning why not stay on an 8-8 Raiders team on the brink?

If its about money- then fine leave….but Aso leaving for money DOES NOT match up to his image of being a down to earth for the people kinda guy…

be careful – we saw what happened to Lebron James, he went from beloved figure to Public Enemy #1

I just dont get WHY Aso would leave…

once again – about winning and loyalty, stay with the team that drafted you, gave you alotta money, where you have your charity organization in, and a good team on the brink with Richard Seymour as defensive co-captain.

about money? – wow, sellout move…

Raiders will win soon, that is inevitable, if Aso wants to be a part of it and take a lil less money – COOL!

if not, whatever, go for the money and big city lights, sellout move though…

no reason to leave Oakland except MONEY. He is not leaving Oakland because of winning, Raiders are on brink, why leave now?

Antonio Pierce once said after beating the Raiders in 2009 that it was like a “scrimmage”, the next week he injurers his neck against the Saints, and then retires, never plays again in the NFL…

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN GOING AGAINST THE GHOSTS OF THE RAIDERS, yes we will haunt you…

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 21:51:21 -0400

“For a PIXAR movie this is very disappointing. This movie should not be rated G!! Think James Bond with all the violence, guns, and deaths. You will see several cars killed and even see car “body parts” floating in the water. Also a car is tortured for information and then blown up. I really do not know how this movie got a G rating, but beware. Both my 4 year old and 6 year old ended up in the laps of adults due to being scared and I am not really how much they even understood of the actual story line. Personally, I feel like PIXAR just sold out….it is a sad day. This movie lacks the originality and heart felt story of all the other PIXAR movies.”

- This is the funniest/weirdest thing I’ve read all day.
