Welcome to Phacient - Simple is Better.
Last week I was lucky enough to attend Blog World and New Media Expo. As the name (or former name) alludes, there is a strong and almost exclusive focus on content. Just about every session I sat in had some mention of SEO. The timing of the conference couldn’t have been better since I’ve gotten [...]
So some pretty interesting things happened this week in terms of social media, user experience and advertising. After taking much of this activity in, I’ve made some realizations. I was reading a very thought provoking post by David Berkowitz where he asks the question, “Is Social Advertising Broken?”. I’ve thought for some time that Facebook [...]
With the recent Facebook IPO and all of the hubbub about the company, I’m sure many small businesses are revisiting the question that they have asked themselves time and time again – ‘Do I need a Facebook page for my business’? I wish there was a better answer but really my best is, “It depends”. [...]
So I have a lot of friends that are real estate professionals – and by professionals I MEAN professionals. These people pride themselves on their work and reputations which – I have learned – is really all you have in this business. It really bothers me that, as a whole, real estate people are not [...]
So I’m up on Facebook the other day Have you noticed lately there are things in your Facebook news feed that are labeled “Trending Articles”? They are generally a small group of rolled up story/news links from popular sites like Yahoo or the Washington Post that your friends are “currently reading”. This alludes that they [...]
The New Phone is Here! The New Phone is Here! I know, it sounds like a scene starring Navin R. Johnson but I just can’t help it. I got a new phone –finally. I’ve been tormented by a jail broken iPhone 3GS for longer than I care to admit to. In Apple’s defense, they don’t [...]
Even though Google+ is in its infancy, they had the insight to build in a few Easter eggs for us true nerds to figure out and play with. Many of us have been observing that one of the nice things about the platform is that is actually has the ability to be used for blogging. [...]
It’s me talking about Google again I know I sound like a one trick pony when I write anything containing the name Google, but in my defense, they are a pretty amazing company. They are spread across so many things that it’s hard not to come into contact with them – constantly. So, to keep [...]

So yesterday morning, Google started rolling out the new redesign of Google+. I’m not going to say it’s better and I’m not going to say it’s worse. I’m just going to say it’s different. There were almost immediately complaints like with all changes to a social network. I’m still hearing how much people hate the [...]

Recently, I’ve gotten a few questions from people who are looking to get into blogging but don’t know where to start. It can be a bit intimidating and overwhelming. I recommend that they start off by guest blogging, if possible, so they can get their feet wet by just writing. After all, that’s what it’s [...]
