			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have just joined Twitter then you have the daunting task of finding a community, well now there is an easy way thanks to a very cool tool from <a href="http://zbowling.com/code/twitter.html">http://zbowling.com/code/twitter.html</a></p>
<p>Simply add your twitter username and password (the tool does not store this, but change your password after if worried) then paste the list of people you want to follow.</p>
<p>This nifty little tool allows you to add a whole bunch of influential people in your industy really easily. I would recommend that you fill in your bio and make 20-30 useful posts before attempting a bulk follow as you are more likely to get people following you in return if you look like a valuable member of the community.</p>
<p>To help get you started check out the links below.</p>
<p><a title="Internet Marketers on Twitter" href="http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2008/01/internet-marketing-experts-twitter.html">Internet Marketers on Twitter</a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/searchwiki-make-search-your-own.html">Google Launched SearchWiki</a> a tool that allows you to manipulate search engine rankings for any keyword search just for searches you perform on Google. So for example if you type in Live Football Results you may actually want the result that is number 5 to come up as number 1, well now you can do this if you have a <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount">Google Account</a></p>
<p>Each search result now has a up and down arrow next to it allowing you to personalise your search results for any search term. Really taking search to a brand new level.</p>
<p>Even more powerful than that is the fact that you can now add any web page into the search results simply by going to the footer and clicking <em><strong>Add a result &#8211; </strong></em>see the screen shot below for an example where Audi now appear above BMW -  I am sure you could play a couple of tricks on Corporate marketing departments with this one.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.davecarruthers.com/wp-content/uploads/searchwiki.jpg" alt="searchwiki" /></p>
<p>More importantly than all this is you can also see what other users have suggested or bumped up the search rankings for the search term you are looking at just by click  <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=world+best+looking+man&amp;swm=2">See all notes for this SearchWiki.</a></p>
<p>It is going to be very interesting to see on where Google takes this technology and how much it will affect the natural search listings over time. In the same way sites like <a title="Digg" href="http://www.digg.com">Digg</a> and <a title="Sphinn" href="http://www.sphinn.com">Sphinn</a> take user votes and authority into consideration when ranking search results, is Google handing some of this power back to the Users is Google search going social?</p>
<p>What impact will this have one SEO as industry probably not much short term but long term it does pose some interesting questions.</p>
<p>Check out the SearchWiki demo by Google Engineer Amay below</p>
