WebAnswers Levels Explained

I've just recently started using WebAnswers and have been very successful so far using their adsense revenue sharing. But there was one thing I could not understand and that was the titles people were getting and what exactly qualified them.

It turns out that it is based on the number of posts you have on the site.The list below gives the current levels:

Beginner = 10
Contributor = 75
Authority = 180
Expert = 660
Professor = 1000
Brain = 2000

People who have just started are simply called new users.

Personally I think professor should be above brain as the highest rank. Professors have prestige. It would also be good if they had a rank that was stupidly high so that everyone had something to aim for. It could be something like WebAnswers Nobel Laureate = 100,000.

7 Ways to Tell A Good Twitter Follower From a Bad Twitter Follower

One of the question you should ask yourself on Twitter is whether you should follow someone back. The question you should really ask is: "do I mind loosing this follower?" In order to decide this you need to ask if they are a good follower or a bad follower. A bad follower:

Bad Follower

1.   Follows huge numbers of people. So they are not following you. 

2.  Constantly replies with dull chit chat. You will gain nothing from following. 

3.  Never or rarely retweets. 

4. Has very few followers - less than 100. They are a nobody. 

5. Tweets very often or all at once. They will clog up your feed and get you so annoyed you will unfollow eventually anyway. 

Finding out a good follower is easier

Good Follower

1. Is followed by a lot more people than follows them (high follower to following ratio). This means they want to follow you and are a "somebody". 

2. Has the verified symbol. 

There is a good bit of software called The Twit Cleaner that I have used. 

How to Start making Google Gadgets - where to find Google Gadget Editor

When I first started Developing for Google Gadgets this was the first problem to solve: where is the editor? First things first: its on iGoogle and you can find this my searching for iGoogle on Google. Then find add gadgets and search from there for Google Gadget Editor.

The iGoogle interface (I've added the editor already)

To get started with the creation of your app or widget you will first need to teach yourself to program in HTML or better learn Java (there are many good free online courses). It would also be worth while to learn CSS to get the gadgets to look good (perfect for blogging too). 

Assuming that you know how to program in at least one language you can get started by following these steps:

1. Click file then save as and save Hello World as the name of the app your building 
2. Now you are ready to code. 
3. When you've finished click file again and then publish (don't forget to preview and debug)

The apps will be hosted on Google as opposed to using their far more complex project hosting site on Google Code.
