About this site

My name is Neil MacLean. I am a new media strategist in the UK and this blog covers social media technologies and the travel business.

I study the impact of consumer generated content and analyse how your customers can help you be found and trusted in a crowded marketplace.

This blog is a playground and in a constant state of experimentation. Sorry about that.

It took Google Blog search almost exactly half an hour to notice my last post and send it out as a Google Alert. Not quite as fast as sending content out directly in an RSS feed, but almost.

   Ping-o-matic (http://pingomatic.com/) helps get the word out quick, too.

   …when I remember to use it!

   Hi Alastair!
   The thing about Google’s blog search is I am not pinging them in any way. They just seemed to find that post really, really quickly yesterday. Possibly installing Google Analytics helps.
