Need a thumbnail picture of a website? It's easy!

BitPixels is an awesome Google resource for very quickly providing you with a thumbnail photo of any website that you can then save and post to a blog or your website, or use in a presentation. Takes literally just seconds. And because it's an image, you can also add a hyperlink to it as well. See the thumbnail I created to the right and, if you click on it, will take you to my thought leadership blog.


Here's the link for the Bit Pixels service: BitPixels - Website Thumbnails

VisualCV • Get a better resume, online.

Looking for a job? Got the traditional resume? Need a resume that will stand out? Look no further than this online resume tool from VisualCV. You can import your data from your LinkedIn account to help you begin to fill out your profile, you can add interactive data (slide shows, etc.) and you can even download it to a PDF to email your resume to potential employers.

Even if you're not in the job market but perhaps you're a small business owner or speaker, this is an excellent tool to help you build your brand as well as to gain SEO value. Very easy program to work with, even to add your work samples, charts and graphs, audio, video and images. Wow, a great personal profile page with many uses.

And if you're not ready to take the time to set the entire profile up right now, at least reserve your name for your custom URL, add your photo and the basics. I take this step on many sites, even if I'm not ready to fully utilize them at the moment I find them. Most often, as is the case with VisualCV, it takes just minutes to do the account set up.

Facebook Takes Aim at Twitter: New Publisher Makes Public Status Updates Easy

Did you notice that your Facebook status is a bit different? Notice the "lock" icon when you post an update? Facebook is now giving you the option to broaden the viewing of your updates beyond your Friends, and you can customize it for each status update you write.

Check it out on this link from Inside Facebook, and excellent Facebook resource for you. Facebook Takes Aim at Twitter: New Publisher Makes Public Status Updates Easy

Are you aware that LinkedIn has a similar setting? You can't customize it for each update but you can change the settings in order to broaden your message to more people outside of your connections. Once you log on, go to Account & Settings (top right), look under Settings and find "Status Availability." Status always defaults to your Connections but you can open it up to your Network or to Everyone. I recommend choosing Everyone in order for you to get more traction from your updates. Similar settings are available for your "Member Feed" and you can find that right below the "Status Availability."

If you have any questions about your settings or how you should use them for your own personal or business situation, please shoot me an email and I'll be glad to answer.
