Hey Bloggers! Let The Gender Genie Decide If Your Writing Sounds More Male Or Female
Earlier today a Tweet caught my attention, asking the question “Does your blog sound more male or female?” The tweet directed followers to the Gender Genie, a cool project that claims to tell you whether you are male and female when you feed it something you’ve written.
3 Great Social Media Lessons From BlogWorld
I had high expectations for three of the sessions at BlogWorld Expo NY this week. They did not disappoint.
Allow me to share with you a bit of what I learned from mom bloggers and the #ToyotaFail; Facebook wall moderation after a comment attack; plus News Feed Optimization — perhaps the most public secret in Facebook marketing success.
From the first professional conference I’ve attended where a session audience gasped. Twice.
5 Lists of Takeaways From BlogWorld Expo NY
At its first Big Apple event, BlogWorld presented a nearly overwhelming agenda of sessions accented by the cricket sound of laptop keyboards, discrete iPad envy glances, “attending” multiple sessions by following the hashtag stream and, one hopes, more than a few “Ah-Ha!” moments for everyone.
After the jump, the first of two posts of my somewhat random, totally opinionated takeaways from some of the sessions in which I participated at BlogWorld Expo NY.

5 Steps to Successful Blogger Outreach
Many businesses fail to realize that conducting blogger outreach is not the same as conducting traditional media outreach and their outreach strategies need to be adapted. Scoring a hit in USA Today is still great, but the value in reaching out to bloggers and other influencers online continues to grow.
A free e-book from BlogDash provides solid guidance for successful blogger outreach. With BlogWorld starting tomorrow in New York, I’ve excerpted sections with key takeaways for PR and marcom professionals to keep in mind for the next few days and beyond.

Blog from Windows Phone 7 to WordPress, Tumblr, Posterous & Blogger Too!
I’ve been a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) in the Windows CE/Pocket PC/Windows Mobile/Windows Phone category for over a decade now. People are awarded the MVP distinction for a variety of reasons. But, one common thread is that MVPs share their knowledge in a wide variety of ways. Microsoft has been collecting some of the knowledge MVPs share in the Microsoft MVP Award Program Blog. I recently provided a guest blog article on a topic that I think about and experiment with a lot: Mobile blogging.
MVPs for Windows Phone 7: Blogging While on the Move with a Windows Phone
In the article I cover using a Windows Phone 7 smartphone to directly create and post content to blogs using WordPress, Tumblr or Posterous services. Blogs can be created an hosted for free on any of these platforms/sites. However, I forgot to mention a big platform in my article: Google’s Blogger. Thanks to @weemundo for pointing this out to me on Twitter. This follow-up blog posts will fill in that gap.
There’s a Windows Phone 7 WordPress app to create and manage WordPress hosted blogs (either by WordPress itself or self-hosted). Posting mobile blogs to Tumblr and Posterous involves a simple to setup email process. There isn’t a native Windows Phone app to post blog items to Blogger. However, like Tumblr and Posterous, Google/Blogger provides a simple email mechanism that can be used. This process is described here on a Blogger help page.
Blogger provides a unique email address that accepts posts just for your blog. Anyone who knows the secret word and your username can post a blog item to your blog. So, be sure to keep the secret word a secret like your password. Like Posterous, Blogger translates the following email components into blog components:
Email title -> Blog title
Email text -> Blog text
Attached digital photo -> blog image
You can add a pound sign (“#”) to the end of your intended blog text to make sure that other unnecessary items like email signatures do not get posted into your blog entry.
