Things that were delicious this week… 21 May, 2010

Every Friday I try to share a selection of things that I found worthy of bookmarking in Delicious during the week. “What’s Delicious”, you may ask? From the horse’s mouth:

The Web is a big place, full of new and interesting things to discover. The problem is finding the good stuff and keeping track of it all. This is where Delicious can help.

Delicious is a Social Bookmarking service, which means you can save all your bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking. It also means that we can show you the most popular bookmarks being saved right now across many areas of interest. In addition, our search and tagging tools help you keep track of your entire bookmark collection and find tasty new bookmarks from people like you.

You can always check out all of my Delicious tags here, but this is a regular column on this site where I bring together the best of the bunch.

Things that were delicious this week – 21 May, 2010

• Do things like font size affect the value passed through a link? Sounds strange, but Bill Slawski specialises in asking questions that the rest of us may not even come close to thinking. A great SEO read.
• Using Google Analytics? Check out Jennita’s post, “5 Simple Google Analytics Tips You Should Be Using“. Like the title says, the tips are… er, simple. But who knows, there may be a tip that makes your day just that little bit easier.
• Amber Naslund (a regular in this column) argues that intent, above all else, may be the most important thing in relationships and relationship marketing. What say you?
• What Facebook, giveth, Facebook can take(eth) away… at any time. Many of us use custom landing tabs for our Facebook pages to increase the chance of a visitor “liking” that page. So when Facebook announced they were limiting that use, page administrators revolted. They seem to have backed down, for now… but for how long?
• Brian Solis – with a guest post over at Mashable – gives us the 21 Rules for Social Media Engagement. I sometimes get irritated with Brian’s more “fluff” pieces, but this is a great piece full of practical advice.
