Daniel Kertcher Ranking Effort

This Daniel Kertcher series is an attempt to rank number one for a difficult "Vanity Search" for the name Daniel Kertcher.  It started with a blog post about Daniel Kertcher and as of today I have entered the top ten in Yahoo search, I am ranking 31 in Google Au search and 21 AND 22 in "pages from Australia search"  The aim of this Daniel Kertcher blog post is to push into the top 20 in Au and Top 5 in Yahoo search.

 Wish me luck and if you meet Daniel Kertcher say "Hi" for me

Like most of you I have friends who exist in the real world, you know the world where we all talk and we can touch and feel!!  In this world I am often asked why would you waste time Blogging or Twittering.  I say good question, I sometimes ask that myself.  If I was honest I blog because I can and its a great thing to mention to people "hey I have a blog check it out" and also as a chance to share information that I have found useful.  I would also say there is a degree of pride in "being broadcast" the fact that people may or may not take notice is besides the point.

I Twitter for different reasons, some of which I intend todelve deeper into in other blogs but for now here are a few reasons.  (For the uninitiated click on thetwitter logo at the start of this blog post to see my twitter home page)

In my article a week or so ago about the difference between Broadcast and Online I alluded to a decision I had to make.  I have made that decision and now that the appropriate people have been informed I feel I can now announce it here.

First I need to update those of you that havent read my CV, about my current work situation.  The decision was essentially about a new job but the issues I presented had a weighed heavily on my choice of new career.

Thanks to @lukie on twitter for this one, I really liked it

I have been using Twitter for the last few months and I must say it is fun to watch people and see what is going on.  I also search twitter posts for questions that I can answer here.

If all has gone well this post will have automatically appeared in my twitter feed as I have been trying a Joomla plugin called  Twitter Status.  I will try this out for a time and see how I like it.  I will also be experiementing with putting my feed on the home part of my website too.

Update: I have just found out that Twitter Status doesnt work with the latest version of Joomla, I have uninstalled it and will try it again at some time soon
