Social networks helps business grow, with that being said, it’s always nice to know how many times your articles were shared. It also encourage your readers to share your content more. every blog (if not every website) should have a sharing widget, but searching for the right widget, personally, took me a lot more than writing my own. Every plugin / script I found was missing something, so I decided to write my own. Continue reading “Count Social Media Shares PHP”
Twitter is a very active participant in the World Cup celebration. Just like in 2010, Twitter is bringing back hashflags, a fun way to tweet the flag of the country you’re supporting when you use the hashtag symbol, followed by the country abbreviation.
For example, mine would be #USA, which would then translate to displaying an American flag in my tweet. The full list of possible hashflags you can tweet are located here.
Hashflags aren’t the only way to celebrate on Twitter. There is even a page where you can choose your team and follow relevant Twitter users such as players on your team or very important people related to football/soccer. It also allows you to choose a profile image based on the country flag, football/soccer related images, and more. Continue reading “How to Show Your World Cup Pride on Twitter”
Have you ever tried to share media on your phone, tablet, or online, and come across a different looking share icon image on every platform? Min Ming Lo of Pixelapse brings up that very point in a recent post.
It’s quite interesting, if you think about it. The idea of the “share” icon is very difficult to portray, which is why it takes so many forms.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as E3, officially starts today in Los Angeles, California (USA). It’s the biggest video game event of the year. Not the largest in terms of number of attendees, but the most important due the the sheer amount of game announcements that are made here each year. It’s one of the few gaming events that actually gets nationally televised on cable TV and has articles written by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other prestigious newspapers.
In a nutshell, E3 is a massive conference that brings all of the major video game console manufacturers, publishers, developers, fans, and media together to announce, tease, play, and market video games and the entertainment around them (including TV and movies).
