New App + School = Little Blogging Time

Little Blogging time leads to lists of interesting topics, do with them what you will.

1. ZapTXT - Site allows you to track RSS via sms. I blogged a different way to do this, but my way (yahoo! sms alerts + Technorati Watchlists) requires a few steps. This is an all in one resource, and probably works better. Anytime you can eliminate steps in a process your users will be happier and more likely to use your product. I’m going to give ZapTXT a shot.

2. Seo Keyword Intro Videos (1)(2) - I’m always happy to plug an Akronite (and to be clear this Akronite has no idea that I’m going to blog this) - I came across a couple of great SEO intro videos from a local Akron SEM firm. If your interested in refining your search engine optimization process (or more likely you don’t have one) check out these two videos. This is an almost identical process to one that I used at an Akron Law Firm, and it works.

3. My new app - I’m building a new mobile app, anyone interested in testing email jda[at]jdamer[dot]com. The initial feedback from my current tester (singular) is very positive, as is the feedback from those that I’ve shown it to. I’m using it all of the time and it’s really helping my productivity - planning to publicly launch the first extremely simple version sometime next week - I really only need about 3 more hours of coding and then it should be ready, just a matter of finding those hours.
