Tynt Tracer Lets You Monitor When Your Content Is Copied
Feb 19, 2009 Blogging, Online Tools
Ever wonder when someone is copying content from your blog and posting it somewhere else? Yeah, I usually don’t either. But now that we’re talking about it, wouldn’t it be great if you could track this easily? That’s exactly what Tynt Tracer allows you to do. It’s a pretty simple service with pretty awesome benefits.
According to Tynt, the service is design to do these things:
- Give you actionable insight into what content your users find most engaging
- Drive traffic back to your site using your copied content with no extra effort or cost
- When your content is copied, Tracer automatically adds an attribution link to claim it as yours
I can’t wait to get my beta account – which, like many other people out there, I am waiting in line for. Sign up now for a chance to use this great service.
Wordpress.tv Launches: Your Visual Resource for All Things WordPress
Jan 27, 2009 Blogging
Anyone who has heard me speak knows I’m huge advocate of using Wordpress in ministry. Well, this somehow slipped by me last week, but Wordpress.tv launched on January 17, and it looks like an excellent resource for those of you who use Wordpress on a regular basis. The premise of the site, as the domain may suggest, is to give Wordpress users a visual way of solving their problems and answering their questions.
Anyone looking for a quick way to find video tutorials applicable to their situation should visit the How-To page to find a list of topics including:
…and more. The layout of each video page is reminiscent of Hulu. You can’t post your comments and questions below each video and let the Wordpress community respond. Looks like a great idea, and a site that I will use for learning how to do new things with an old tool.
