Look how old this is! I post at SearchCommander.com now, and this post was published 18 years 4 months ago. This industry changes FAST, so blindly following the advice here *may not* be a good idea! If you're at all unsure, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and ask.
I was watching Matt Cutts’ video responses to the deluge of SEO questions he got over the weekend, and I noticed an integrated button saying “Email – Blog – Post to Myspace”, so I hit it. Then I could instantly post to: MySpace – Blogger LiveJournal or TypePad.
Since I have two boys 9 and 6, and MySpace and I know that social networking will likely influence their lives in the same way the internet has influenced yours and mine, I decided to give it a try. After all, I recently activated a MySpace account to check it out, and hadn’t used it much.
After posting, then I looked Myspace (my Myspace)?, and I saw that Google had added all their .html code right into the “My Movies” section of my profile. They also left no line breaks to the text I added, cramming it all together. I had to make a Myspace blog entry, then cut and paste the .html in, adding my own formatting.
This is odd, and Google should fix it so it posts to someones MySpace blog.
Integrated instant posting to your hosted blog service (like Blogger, Type Pad or Live Journal) or social networking site (Like Myspace) makes this some valuable real estate for Google video.
The fact that MySpace is there by name, makes me wonder what’s coming next…Cool stuff!
I noticed the same thing, and also began to think. The only thing that scares me, is the fact that Google now has even more data on me! I gave them my name and password and let them post whatever code they want on – my Myspace – page….will they always do no evil?
Wow, good point, Mark! Yikes!
Oh well, we all trust Google…right?
