Dipping into the Blogpond

They were there yesterday, honestly! But something is wrong with this picture: Or was it something I said? Oh good – seems I’m not the only one – Andy Merritt

Following on from yesterday’s Ultimate Guide to (un) Productivity, I have had an extremely productive day, and feel really good about that Baby steps. An article today in the SMH rang a bell with me (my husband Theo pointed it out). It’s what I did inadvertently with my Google reader the other day. I was […]

My friend Alister Cameron has written a very poignant post entitled “If you don’t have Passion and Purpose, Greater Productivity won’t help you!” It’s not a quick, throw away read by any stretch of the imagination and Alister delivers a meaningful message. I daresay there may be an “aha” moment for many readers – there […]

For those of you interested in the Google PageRank metric, you’ll be pleased to know that the PageRank update is in progress (this happens about four times a year). Google PageRank is a measure of how important Google sees a particular page on a website, and is determined by the number of websites linking to […]

I have never been a big music video connoisseur, but I’ve been tagged by Richard from Scouta to list my top 20 music videos. The Thinker’s Podium started the meme based on the Invade rage Competition to celebrate the music video show’s 20th anniversary. The idea is to compile your top 20 favorite music videos, […]

Our dLook business directory turned one today! What a crazy year. I could bore you with statistics, but I won’t. Instead, I’ll tell you what our birthday present was! To celebrate we have launched a new application for mobile search, so next time you’re out and about and need to find a number or address, […]

(The parents in the audience should relate to that one) Over the last number of days I’ve put my RSS reader obsession aside (well, when I say that I mean it hasn’t been cleared to 0 in days), and replaced it with another – just surfing purely Australian blogs There’s some great stuff out there.

I have previously written about the state of blogsearch in Australia and how difficult it can be to find Australian content.
