Catch of the week - October 11th

Each (ok, sometimes monthly) Sunday I post links to the most interesting articles I've come across that week. Most of them are found via Twitter, Sphinn or my RSS reader. Enjoy!

Marketing, SEO and Social Media

Jill Whalen disagrees with SEOmoz's Rand Fishkin about which should come first, the search engines or the users. An excellent article.

Seems like everyone is becoming a social media expert now. Some people have actually been doing social media marketing for well over a decade, like Marsha Collier, author of eBay for dummies. She might know a thing or two to check out.

So how can you tell who is an expert and who is not? Jennifer Leggio gives a few tips to follow that might help you determine who's an expert and who's not.

The Gourmet magazine is quitting after 68 years. And who's to blame? Twitter and the Internet. Well, that's what the editors say. You can read about it here.

Mashable published recently a post called "5 Advanced Social Media Marketing Strategies for Small Business". Worth reading.

The Wild Catch
(other stuff than marketing that I still find interesting and worth sharing)

Drew! - Who comes in mind? Barrymore? Carey? Olanoff? Well, @drew belonges to a Drew Olanoff, who's best known for #blamedrewscancer. He's been fighting cancer and things are looking good for him. He's been looking to his social media community for support - and got it. Know he's going to give back by putting his twitter account up for auction - and Drew Carey got wind of it. Mr. Carey has actually bid 1 Million US Dollars for the account if he reaches 1 million followers before January 1st. So what are you waiting for? Go add Drew Carey and encourage everyone in your network to do the same!

I met a fluffy tech girl in the Blue Lagoon a few days ago who interviewed me about IMinnovation.org and the start-up scene in Iceland. I got to take one of my favorite Icelandic start-up companies with me that did a pitch in the Blue Lagoon (since we don't have elevators in our igloos here in Iceland ;) You can check it out on Techfluff.tv.

Happy reading
