A humble trowel and pruner, just about the only tools you need to produce a fantastic garden. Sustainable landscape practice encourages the use of hand tools over power tools, reducing the need for extraneous power, and also providing more control for the gardener. As a gardener, these small hand-held tools help me learn more about the plants and their status (healthy, buggy, etc.) in the landscape.

For the last couple of days, I've been on a mission to trim down all of the crap that I really don't need in Firefox without sacrificing functionality. I'm down to a window with a few tabs. A mixture of keyword searches and bookmarks, some bookmark synchronizing, mouse gestures and memorization of a handful of keyboard shortcuts, this is what you get. There are a couple of things that it's missing, but for the most part it gets about 90% of the job done with maximum real estate dedicated for content.

Social media optimization (SMO) refers to the use of a number of social media outlets and communities to generate publicity to increase the awareness of a product, brand or event. Types of social media involved include RSS feeds, social news and bookmarking sites, as well as social networking sites, such as Twitter, and video and blogging sites. SMO is similar to search engine optimization in that the goal is to generate traffic and awareness for a website. In general, social media optimization refers to optimizing a website and its content in terms of sharing across social media and networking sites.[1]
Social media optimization is becoming increasingly important for search engine optimization, as search engines are increasingly utilizing the recommendations of users of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ to rank pages in the search engine result pages. The implication is that when a webpage is shared or "liked" by a user on a social network, it counts as a "vote" for that webpage's quality. Thus, search engines can use such votes accordingly to properly rank websites in search engine results pages. Furthermore, since it is more difficult to tip the scales or influence the search engines in this way, search engines are putting more stock into social search.[2][3] This, coupled with increasinglypersonalized search based on interests and location, has significantly increased the importance of a social media presence in search engine optimization. Due to personalized search results, location-based social media presences on websites such as Yelp, Google Places, Foursquare, andYahoo! Local have grown increasingly important.[4][5] Rob Reed, founder of location-based marketing platform MomentFeed, has stated that, moving into 2013, local optimization on social platforms is now a "strategic imperative" rather than a "luxury".[6]
While social media optimization is related to search engine marketing, it differs in several ways. Primarily, SMO focuses on driving traffic from sources other than search engines, though improved search ranking is also a benefit of successful social media optimization.
Social media optimization is in many ways connected to the technique of viral marketing or viral seeding where word of mouth is created through the use of networking in social bookmarking, video and photo sharing websites.[7] Furthermore, by following social trends and utilizing alternative social networks, websites can retain existing followers while also attracting new ones.[8] This allows businesses to build an online following and presence, all linking back to the company's website for increased traffic.[9] For example, with an effectivesocial bookmarking campaign, not only can website traffic be increased, but a site's rankings can also be increased.[10] In a similar way, the engagement with blogs creates a similar result by sharing content through the use of RSS in the blogosphere and special blog search engines.
Social media optimization is considered an integral part of an online reputation management (ORM) or search engine reputation management (SERM) strategy for organizations or individuals who care about their online presence.
Social media optimization is not limited to marketing and brand building. Increasingly, smart businesses are integrating social media participation as part of their knowledge management strategy (i.e., product/service development, recruiting, employee engagement and turnover, brand building, customer satisfaction and relations, business development and more). Additionally, social media optimization can be implemented to foster a community of the associated site, allowing for a healthy business-to-consumer (B2C) relationship.
