Reddit Eliminates “Advanced Search” Feature

I am not sure if anyone noticed or not, but Reddit.com has removed the advanced search option from it’s site. I used to use advanced search strings like “(site:brentcsutoras.com)” to check if anyone had submitted my posts to Reddit.

SMX Social Media - Long Beach 2008 Recap

Last Monday I flew into Long Beach Airport to attend SMX Social Media 2008 in Long Beach.

All in all, the event was very good. It was a small group but it really gave the attendees a chance to corner us and ask all their questions.

I spoke a little on Tuesday about the various categories for social media linkbaits and the process of actually creating a linkbait.
