Lindsay’s FAV SEO and SMM Alerts- 1/21/11 Addition

I have come to the conclusion that my computer needs a social media update. By now, I’m sure you have figured out that I indeed cannot spell (although I did just come across a plugin for Wordpress that spell checks for me now ).

Although I cannot spell, it is clear to me that Microsoft Word is a little outdated and still hasn’t picked up on social media… wonder how long it will be before the next update of Word includes these in the “Dictionary” … go ahead, try typing them! My documents are FULL of red underlined words that Word thinks I misspelled… and this time I actually didn’t!

Here are just a few…

1. Facebook
2. Blog
3. Blogging
4. YouTube
5. LinkedIn
6. Spammy
7. Flickr
8. Mashable
9. Wordpress
10. Plugin

Have a great weekend!

Enjoy this week’s alerts!
