1. Pay attention
2. Be creative
3. Be exclusive
This article focuses on purely the social aspects which work for the leaders in social networking right now. I’ll also point out some features of these sites which I think aren’t working as well as they were originally intended
Facebook has a good reputation for very good reasons. Specifically, Facebook is dedicated to truly developing the real aspects of online social networking, and they do this by paying attention. They pay attention to what matters and is socially relevant. Their products are controlled and well thought out. They think about whether a feature is socially relevant (cross friend photo commenting notification - c.f.p.c.n for short) and invent ways to make networking more social (feeds).
Digg.com is another great resource. One specific feature that they have which is absolutely genius, is when you comment on an article that someone posted, you have to wait 60 seconds before it’s accepted. This means you can’t navigate away or close the browser, so you’re left with only about 900 other comments on which to read and formulate more comments for. The fact about commenting - period - is that for a site like
Digg, user participation is the key “product” really, which is in turn supplied (for free) by people like you and I who for whatever reason justify the expense of our time with the reasoning that it’s important to “have a voice.” In reality, SN sites capitalize on the fact that most people have nothing better to do with their time, are self centered and being involved in debating a current affair is an interesting alternative to the classic wasteful pastime of watching television. I admit that staying on top of things and getting involved in an intelligent conversation is a far better use of time than many other wasteful activities. Masses of people running around everywhere, switching focus every 0.001 seconds. Regardless, Digg has managed to provide a unique combination of elements with which this type of addictive behavior is made possible. If only they could leverage their audience for advertisers as Facebook has… It’s interesting to watch how Facebook is leveraging its traffic with its new application feature. It’s nice how the model isn’t monetized (it’s free for all), it’s just another way to attain a larger and more unique supply of targeted traffic which is really what they sell (to advertisers.) It’s nice to see that amidst all the record-setting buyout offers, criticism and volatile changes in SN culture, Facebook has been able to hold steady, remain innovative and become the leader without “selling-out” and at the same time not losing sight of the users even though they are only indirectly their customers.]]> social networking website design :

I have thus coded the required changes and tested them (although not every scenario). I can now email through blog posts to my Wordpress site with Spitax in the subject line and in the content and have a unique blog post created. It will parse normal posts without any spintax just fine.

The script does accept nested spintax articles (e.g. {{This|Here} is a nested spintax subject|{This|Here} is a nested spintax title}. Note that some email services will result in truncated Titles, recommend you use a Gmail account for emailing in blog posts as this is what I tested with.

Please note that this was tested with Wordpress 3.4.2, and instructions may not work for all versions (and may need to be modified for future versions). It has also only been tested when sending emails as plain text (no testing done on HTML or Rich Text emails).

I'm not going to talk about how to allow Wordpress to accept blog posts via email, there are thousands of pages on this already (just search for them).

The first thing we need to do is to create a new spintax.class.php file and upload it to your site's root directory (in the same directory as your wp-mail.php file). Paste the below code into this new file, save it and upload it yo your site.

PHP Code:
<?php
class Spintax {
   
   function spin($str, $test=false)
   {
      if(!$test){
         do {
            $str = $this->regex($str);
         } while ($this->complete($str));
         return $str;
      } else {
         do {
            echo "<b>PROCESS: </b>";var_dump($str = $this->regex($str));echo "<br><br>";
         } while ($this->complete($str));
         return false;
      }
   }
   
   function regex($str)
   {
      preg_match("/{[^{}]+?}/", $str, $match);
      // Now spin the first captured string
      $attack = explode("|", $match[0]);
      $new_str = preg_replace("/[{}]/", "", $attack[rand(0,(count($attack)-1))]);
      $str = str_replace($match[0], $new_str, $str);
      return $str;
   }
   
   function complete($str)
   {
      $complete = preg_match("/{[^{}]+?}/", $str, $match);
      return $complete;
   }
} 

Next, we need to make some changes to your wp-mail.php file. It is best to take a backup of your existing wp-mail.php file first incase you ever want to roll back

1. Find the following at the top of the wp-mail.php file
PHP Code:
/**
 * Gets the email message from the user's mailbox to add as
 * a WordPress post. Mailbox connection information must be
 * configured under Settings > Writing
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */ 
Paste this immediately underneath on a new line
PHP Code:
//Inclusion of Spintax.class.php for spinning emails
include("spintax.class.php"); 

2. Find the following line
PHP Code:
    $subject = trim($subject); 
Paste this immediately underneath on a new line
PHP Code:
//New lines to spin the subject
$spintax_sub = new Spintax;
$subject = $spintax_sub->spin($subject); 

3. Find the following lines
PHP Code:
// Captures any text in the body after $phone_delim as the body
    $content = explode($phone_delim, $content);
    $content = empty( $content[1] ) ? $content[0] : $content[1];

    $content = trim($content); 
Paste this immediately underneath on a new line
PHP Code:
//New lines to spin the content
$spintax_con = new Spintax;
$content = $spintax_con->spin($content); 

Save and upload your modified wp-mail.php file to your site, and give it a test!]]>

A couple of weeks ago, lots of people started to see their EMD rankings go down dramatically, or disappear altogether. I also had an SEO client that is seeing the exact same thing.

Whilst there is no clear reason as to why these domains were affected, it is appearing more likely that those with low quality or little content were most affected. I would also hazard a guess that those with poor quality backlinks would also be more affected than those with strong backlinks from trusted sites.

So whilst I can't give anyone a magic fix right now, I am working with my SEO client to get good content added to their site on a daily basis. At this stage it is still too early to tell if it has made a difference, but please feel free to add your own suggestions and thoughts.]]>
