It’s been months since my last post because I’ve been struggling with what to write; how to start again. Today, I stumbled onto a site while looking for art supplies and I just had to share this art with you.
His name is Ray Schloss and his paintings have moved me.

What is FavFollow?
We all have our own network on Twitter and although there is overlap it’s difficult to know which friends-of-friends to follow. This allows us to share our favorite Rockstar Twits with our network.
For example: I can tell you about the Rockstars I follow and why I appreciate them so much.
What this is not:
- This is not a contest
- There are no votes
- There is no deadline
- There is no pandering
- There are no expectations
Why FavFollow?
For many, Twitter has gotten to the point where we follow more people than we can possible *listen* to. How do we handle this? Some use software like TweetDeck to create groups and others follow everyone on the web and send their favorites to their mobile; keeping in touch only through sms. On occasion we all check into Twitter Search but that information doesn’t come to us.
How do I participate?
I suggest we use the tag: #favfollow, and a few standards, to make it easy to promote our Rockstar twits.
Suggestions:
- use hash tag #favfollow
- mention the person to follow: @ashbuckles
- tell your network why they’re a Rockstar twit in your mind
- include things they tweet so we know what to expect from them
- maybe include their frequency; scale 1 (low) to 10 (high)
- maybe include the mood of their feed (e.g. sarcastic, funny, serious, safe [work/family], unsafe)
- WARNING: don’t start your tweet with the person’s name or some people in your network will not receive your tweet.
Example tweet: #favfollow @ashbuckles Very passionate about Twitter. Offers advice on marketing. Shares links on Wordpress, SEO, Promotions. Freq=7/10.
Who is involved in this?
Anyone. Everyone. But seriously I like to think that I, Ash Buckles, came up with this all by myself because I’m just that good.
Disclosure: I didn’t do any research to verify the above statement; mostly because I’m lazy.
Comment below with additional suggestions and feedback. Let’s make this about all of us!

These paintings have been a couple months in progress as I’ve played with some different ideas and tested many techniques to get what I wanted here. This project also gave me the chance to begin my Ustream feed and get familiar with live streaming.
I’m currently working on a couple of variations because of where these techniques took me and I hope to include those in my next live art show.
Each of these are 12 x 12 inches.

Ever wonder what makes Google display two sequential listings or how it determines what pages from the same site to list next to one another. It comes down to popularity, interest, links and relevance.
No matter who you like, there is a lot of chatter about both candidates and even Google agrees that Twitter is hot for Obama right now. The 91,000+ followers on Obama’s Twitter account and the amount and frequency of posts is pushing his account to the number two listing in Google.

You can view all the tweets about the election but as fast as they go you need to hover over any tweet to pause the updates.
This is a great lesson in SEO to show the relationship that should exist throughout your site; especially among your popular pages and your money pages. Talk about them. Link to them. Be amazing enough (your product/offer) to get others to link to them.
How can you make your most important page(s) pop?
