World’s Largest RSS Button!

Posted by testing on January 16, 2008

I was having a root around at SEO Black Hat and noticed that they had changed their template to an even lovelier shade of black, but the thing that struck me was the size of there RSS button. I wouldn’t be someone that keeps tads on things like the size of RSS buttons but I thought this was big and as a whole each new template I see has a massive button. So I’ve taken actions into my own hands to try and stop the RSS Buttons from growing.

Over the past few years we’ve had a few global scares that if they should be left alone would destroy the Universe in our life time, first we had Sars, then problems with genetically modified food and finishing up with chicken flu and global warming. How does Mr Murdock sleep at night?

Anyway while surfing the net last night in my 4×4 eating a KFC I noticed that there seems to be an epidemic of genetically modified RSS Buttons what are taken over blogs. If this is to continue to happen soon blogs will have no visible copy and only display a huge RSS Button and a blogroll. So to help stop this I’ve devised an International standard for RSS buttons, they should be no bigger than 2′ by 2′6″, this will help to combat any future war on RSS buttons as internet land becomes overrun by RSS buttons.

Please shoot or left click delete any RSS buttons that go beyond this measurement.

Staff Blogging: Has the World gone mad

Posted by testing on September 27, 2007

We had an idea, we wanted to test every element of the social media sphere, blogs, ,networking, bookmarks, video, images, anything that’s considered new.

What we came up with was Equator Live, a lab environment where we could test anything, try new things and have a complete understanding of all the new technologies and now they integrate.

And the most important part, have some fun.

The first new thing that we want to do was to engage every member of staff in the world of blogging. While the marketing team have there own personal blogs and some people within equator use myspace and bebo we want to get every member of staff up to a reasonable understanding of how blogging works. Already we’re getting departments interacting to come up with idea’s and to help each other out. Within a short period of time we can expect every member of staff to be proficient in blogging (if the gold fish could type they’d have a blog).

We’re now at the point when a little bit of training wouldn’t go a miss, so for Equator staff this Friday about 4 o’clock we’re going to be having a training/overview/ask us questions session.
