Something I'd Like to See

[JamesR]

If someone (or someones) would like to take this on I think it would be a very useful contribution to this community

1) Subscribe to SearchCap (SearchEngineLand's newsletter)
2) Read it daily and post about the most useful stuff you find in there. 
3) Avoid general news we don't care about, just post the meat

SearchCap, if you don't know, compiles the best SEO info from a lot of different sources, great service and almost every day there is really helpful stuff in there.

Your post can be as simple as this:

Link Building Tips for Personal Blogs

SEOMoz lists some good stuff for finding links for blogs including social, guest posting, and search queries to find link opps - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/link-building-tips-for-personal-blogs

Great discussion starter and it saves us all time from having to scan the same source every day.

Anyone up for it?

It's easier to automate than do manually.

True but the goal is to filter out the good stuff to highlight here as a resource and potential discussion starter.

I subscribe to that and they do get some decent links in there. They are often ahead of the Twitter curve and elsewhere. I'd love to know where they get a lot of this stuff...and how they pick it up quicker than me.

Filtering stuff out manually is the only way to go with that newsletter. There's often a lot of crap in  there as well. I can do some of that, but I'd appreciate a few more eyeballs on it as well. My idea of what's important may be different from the rest of you.

I subscribed.  I have a hard time staying on top of newsletters, but if this one strikes a chord for me, I'll do my part.

Maybe a "threadwatch" forum is in order?  That might encourage some good sharing of news.  I'd like to see that in the IC.  Though I'd personally like everything to be in the IC.

Likewise, especially dailies like this one. However, I usually find at least 1 gem per day when I look through it.

Seconded.

I'm told that Brad is a prolific reader re web-related sites.  So much so that he even reads in places that are so sugary white that they tend to make lesser men nauseous.  Our collective histories show that we tend to form an ever-tightening closed loop on topics and sources.  We need constant prodding or we'll simply do it again.  Brad & others so inclined feel free to whip this crowd.

come now, be fair, I don't think he reads IHY

Although I have never seen him and Dougie boy in the same thread.....

>IHY

Damn, I'd forgotten about that gem.

[Brad]

>>sugary white

I'll get my Pat Boone records out.

>>IHY

Wow, I wonder if they still exist, like all petrified in amber?  I have not been there since Lots0 used to strafe IHY with troll bullets and then sit back and watch the fireworks.  Fun times.

>still exist

Yeah, I went and looked.  Just reading the current topics made me retch.
