I’m blogging about SEO for the company I work for, Netgenetix Media, on a separate website for our SEO services - Citrus SEO.

Check it out!

P.S. The design of the Citrus SEO website makes me feel so happy inside! Excellent job Justin!

Facebook announced that they’ll be releasing a new tool called ‘Facebook Connect’ and it’s a way for web sites to ask users for their Facebook username and password and offer the ability to import their list of friends from Facebook, rather than other websites creating entirely new indentity verfication systems.

This means that certain companies, like the mobile service company Loopt, can use Facebook Connect so users do not have to re-enter their connections to friends when they want to track through Loopt’s service of finding friends and seeing what they are doing on a map with their mobile phone.

Facebook Connect goes two ways — information about a user’s activity on other web sites will go back and appear on the “news feed” on Facebook, where it is seen by that person’s friends on the service. However, learning from their previous mistake of Beacon advertising, Facebook is going to give users full control of what they share.

Mark Zuckerberg also mentioned that Facebook would be introducing a new “Great Apps” program as an incentive for developers to create more meaningful and useful tools or applications for Facebook. Certain applications such as Causes, a charitable giving tool, and iLike, a music sharing service, have already been given the priveledge of being part of the “Great Apps” program. As a result, applications given the designation of being in the “Great Apps” program will have better visibility and recieve a graphical “badge” to display their participation in the program.

Peronsally,  all this “Great Apps” talk makes me happy. I’m so tired of seeing stupid useless applications like ‘zombies’ and ‘buy your friends’ that clog up my profile or my requests pending channel. Some are fun yes, but I really don’t see the fun in either of the two above mentioned applications or any others like it.

And as for Facebook Connect - I wish Mark Zuckerberg luck for success with it, but we shall see how it works and if it’s accepted by users.

For now, Peace.

July 2008, and I have my first job in the New Media industry. It took me 2.5 months out of school, which really isn’t that long, but when you’re working at McDonalds and living pay cheque to pay cheque it feels like a bloody long time. But I’m happy!

I’ve only worked for Netgenetix Media for a week and a half and I already love it. The people are awesome, it’s work I love to do, and when I wake up in the morning (for the first time ever), I actually WANT to go to work. I’m so happy that I can say that. It’s a small company with great achievements and it sits on the entrance to Gastown in Vancouver.

Thanks to Leigh, Jess, Gerrod, Darius, Devin, Justin, Eric, and Paul for making it so easy to work for them. I even get to play softball with them and their friends on Thursdays in a beer league. It’s awesome.

And so, turning 20 and entering the industry, I can’t wait to see what I can accomplish and learn in the years to come.

Love Me:

My last official day of classes was Thursday, April 10th and even though it feels great to be done it’s still really sad that I won’t see all my friends every day anymore. But we’re all going into the industry so I’m sure it won’t be too much of a hardship.

We have our industry night on April 30th so that will be cool - if you’d like to come or know more check out the website HERE.

So the job hunt is officially ON. There are a few places I’m really hoping for, for at least the opportunity of an interview, if nothing else - one being Raincity Studios… but let’s not get our hopes up shall we? Until I get a job in the industry though I’ll be working full time at McDonald’s and doing some freelance work on the side. So if anyone has any web work they need done feel free to fill out my Request for Services form.

Everybody cross your fingers for me on that permanent job in the industry - would be awesome to move on from McDonald’s and follow my dreams sooner rather than later. Thanks guys!

Peace.
