  Hey guys,

  This is my first post over here on the Entercom Digital blog, and I’m happy to collaborate on it. Another way for me to connect with the team on the left coast

  First, just wanted to share that I’ve posted a relatively extensive resource post for Haiti over on my personal site with lots of options for realtime updates, mobile donations, etc. if you have a moment to check it out.

  Thought I’d share a real sleek, sexy tool that I’ve used recently to keep myself in order at work. With everything everyone has going on, having an easy simple web app to help me get my act together helps.

  Teux Deux is a “simple, designy, browser-based to-do app and the first collaboration between studio-mates swissmiss and Fictive Kin.”

  Check them out. Solid stuff.

  Quick Demo:
  

  TeuxDeux Demo from TeuxDeux on Vimeo.

  Getting my day in order proves immensely helpful with lots o’ get-it-done lists, plus it may give me a moment to play First Person Tetris (warning: the bigger your screen the more sick it’ll make you).

  Cheers!

  Useful Tidbits, Boosting Google Rankings & RadioTown

  Heya all,

  Yesterday some of the Digital team were chatting on how we loved it when we all (all of Entercom’’s Internet web folks) shared information we find on the internet. Some of it humorous, some of it work-related some in between.  I encourage all of you to keep us abreast of any nuggets of info we find out there by using the Entercom Internet email group.

  That said, I’ll get this moving along.  I found this in an email newsletter I receive.  I almost missed it.  However, I thought it was interesting, since I consider myself a Google fan-boy.

  The secret to boosting your Google ranking. (original post found here )
  Want to land a page one Google ranking for your business’s website? The folks at the American Express OPEN Forumhave a simple trick that may help you secure prime-time search-engine result rankings. The secret? Video. With search engines like Google increasingly using “blended” search results that include videos and pictures in addition to websites, a well search-engine optimized video drastically increases your odds of landing on Google’s front page. In fact, according to Forrester Research, a business with a properly posted video stands a 53 times better chance of getting a page one Google ranking. Of course, not just any sloppily put-together video is going to boost your rankings. There are some tricks you need to follow, check out the article for all the details.

  RadioTown & Google
  On a similar thread… and because I consider it a hobby of mine to reverse engineer Google as a search engine, many know that The Dalles Oregon is a major hub of some of their infrastructure.  Some of you may also find it interesting that RadioTown’s physical location is hosted downstairs from another one of these Google hubs.

  I’ll make a post soon giving you all a tour of RadioTown soon.  I have always been very proud of it’s progress.  I had taken some iPhone pictures of the rack, but it just looks like wires and blinking lights in a dark background.  One does not get the full sense of it’s power! Muhahahaha!

  Enjoy and happy videos!
