GeekCast 46: Is Matt Bacak Really the Biggest Douche in Social Media?

by Shawn Collins on December 3, 2008

Episode 46 of the GeekCast show touched on all of the important issues of the day, such as the backlash against Matt Bacak, a smut ban on YouTube, and some cool apps for iPhones.

Also, Jim Kukral has completed his conversion to a MacBook pro, some guy is spamming “friends” on Facebook, Pownce is about to pull the plug, and Google wants you to further assimilate with Friend Connect.

Maybe John Smethers is the Biggest Douche

Thanks for pointing out my blog. I would just like to note that I did make a mistake a few years ago by not attaching my blog to the “personalbrandingblog.com” domain. I was a novice back then, but still gave people the right advice. There isn't anything wrong with a “.typepad.com” or a “.wordpress.com.” It depends on what you're comfortable using and your goals.

In January I'll be launching a new version of my blog under it's own domain. I just wanted to clarify! :)

Hey Dan -

I don't think anything is wrong with the various hosted blog options, but it is typically not a long term solution for anybody.

So, I think it's key to start a blog on your own domain, so you don't have to deal with trying to migrate the traffic down the road.

I learned that lesson back in 2004 when I thought it was a good idea to use Blogger. :)

Then I installed Movable Type and used it for a while. Ultimately, I ended up with WordPress, and I love the flexibility and usability.

Hey I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from the quotes I tweet. They mean something to me so I thought I’d share. Maybe I should quote you guys? There must be some good one out there.
