And by “networking,” I of course mean eating giant cupcakes, visiting funky coffee shops, and somehow sending Pace Smith into hysterics by getting Problogger’s Darren Rowse to walk into a room and loudly say, “Maple syrup!” Don’t ask. Ah, business

The Straight Dope on Facebook, Twitter, and SEO

Ever wonder if all those links that result from people retweeting and sharing content on Twitter give you a boost with SEO? For a long time no one was sure, because the dreaded nofollow is in use on big social sites to keep those links from being counted as a “vote” for search engine purposes.
