Fake Twitter Followers – How Do You Rate?
I came across a rather interesting Fake Twitter Followers Infographic (graphic was hosted on Fotopedia which shut down on 2014-08-10) that displays data around the number of fake followers that are comprised within celebrities, businesses, politicians and others’ Twitter follower roll. I guess those with a lot of followers maybe get a lot of spam followers or they are using
Where has the Facebook View App Profile Page Link Gone?!?
Facebook is on the move again. They definitely keep things very interesting, to put it nicely. I received a call this evening from a nice gentleman in Atlanta who was beside himself because he was trying to add a custom Facebook Page Tab to his Facebook Page and not having any luck. He’d been at it for two days. He made it through one of my videos only to get to the end and not see the nice link in the sidebar that reads “View App Profile Page”. This was the link that would then allow you to add the…
Create a Google+ Company Page
Now that Google+ is in a wider release, and open to business accounts, I’ve decided to jump on board and create some pages. They aren’t anything spectacular but my feeling is that the more touch points one has on the web the better. This said, it is important

TimThumb Vulnerability Uncovered
About two weeks ago a vulnerability in a PHP plugin that is quite popular in performing image resizing tasks, and that I’d incorporated into my WEBphysiology Portfolio Plugin, was uncovered. I found out based upon an email that came out of my local WordPress Meetup group. The issue had to do with
Put a Facebook Send or Like Button on Your Posts with Code
On April 25, 2011, Facebook released the [Send] button. The [Send] button provides a means to share a web page with someone directly, as opposed to the [Like] button’s behavior of placing the entry on your wall for all your friends. Of course, the [Like] button is handy too. Fortunately
Obfuscating Email Addresses
I’ve long held that putting a plain text email on a website is not a good idea. Even with being careful like this I’m inundated with a large amount of Spam. While I don’t put my email address online in a plain text fashion, and preach the same to others, I’m not always afforded
The History of WordPress
Very cool infographic on the power and prevalence of WordPress in blogging and CMS. Not only is it well crafted but has the support of many plugin and theme developers.
