If you haven’t heard about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) so far, most are bound to have noticed Tuesday, January 18, 2012 when they were unable to get to many of their favorite sites from Wikipedia to Reddit to WordPress to Mozilla to Craigslist.
NEW: Where do members of Congress stand on SOPA
MUST WATCH VIDEOS: CBS C/Net Complicit in Piracy
Do not fall for the red herring that these bills – both SOPA (in the House) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) (in the Senate) are ONLY about stopping “renegade pirate sites”.
ANY site could be taken down!

Click Image to go to Feel Tip Top Twitter Search Engine
I recently wrote about How to Increase Conversions By Sharing Pillar Content When Your Audience is Most Receptive and mentioned using the semantic Twitter search engine FeelTipTop and a unique Twitter alert search and respond app iTweetLive.
By using TipTop first to see typical search results for any given keyword phrase you can fine tune what you set up in iTweetLive and greatly reduce the amount of time you’ll spend weeding out searches that were either too general or have too many other meanings.
It is faster to fine-tune your searches first than to
manually review and delete those that did not work later.
It is often easier to understand when you see a real life example – and understanding is a faster way to be productive with a new tool than trial and error – and that gets you results much faster. [click to continue…]

There have been reports so far from two bloggers involving three blogs that after upgrading to WordPress 3.3.1 the checkbox for the GrowMap anti-spambot plugin (G.A.S.P.) goes missing.
Blogs affected so far are all using the FREE version –
not CommentLuv Premium.
Ileane @BasicBlogTips Recommends GASP Click Image to Read
Bloggers using CommentLuv Premium who have upgraded to WordPress 3.3.1 including Donna Fontenot’s (@DonnaFontenot) ebusiness coaching blog and Ron Cripps’ (@AffiliateXFiles) MakeItYourRing do NOT have the problem.
Kristi Hines (@Kikolani) – a wonderful person who supports other bloggers and wrote the Ultimate Blog Post Promotion Guide, dropped everything and upgraded a blog using the free version to 3.3.1 to test for issues.
The GASP checkbox was still visible, so the good news is there
is not a major problem with upgrading to WordPress 3.3.1.
