Forced Perspective | ALAFOTO.com

“You don’t always have to use Photoshop to create optical illusions in your photographs. With a technique called forced perspective you can create illusions that make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It just takes a little creativity with the placement of the subjects in the shot and the camera angle. “

Via Scoop.it - Sculpting Crowdsorcery
This guest post is by Belinda of The Copy Detective. Your blog is a good read. Everyone says so. Although … So why isn’t your blog being found by other people? The millions and millions of people hungrily consuming blog content out there in the global online space we call the Internet? The cold, hard truth is that Google hates your blog. And it’s nothing personal. You just don’t have anything that Google wants. Creating high-quality, relevant content is a must if you want your blog to be noticed by search engines but it’s only part of the picture. If you’re not sure if Google really hates your blog, or whether it’s just ambivalent, then step through these warning signs.

How Do We Harness the Innovation Potential of our Networks?
Via Scoop.it - Sculpting Crowdsorcery
Venessa Miemis is a pioneer and change agent, and every one of her posts is part of a mindset that is essential for anyone who wants to thrive in this new world. I selected this piece because it is something that I am struggling with now, perhaps you are too. There are great insights, and suggestions on how to create relationships that are empowering and productive.
Here’s an excerpt:
**we embrace the gifts, skills and capacities of the individuals in the community
**We pursue common goals and not the goals of just one or two people who come forward but find a way to let everyone be heard
Only in the past few months have I heard this term “asset mapping” as a needed tool to surface hidden but available value, bootstrap communities, and get things done.
I could go on and on but want you to read the article.
My commentary:
I personally belong to private groups on Facebook, have various affiliations on other networks and I am continually struggling with the following:
**the ability to manage time constraints, (how can I possibly be on 10 networks, be on tweetchats at night)
** do my work which is very time consuming
**find time to eat and sleep and still have time for my wonderful life offline
**come together with these people and create something meaningful. I’m living in the question, what comes next……..
I feel a responsibilty to other members to do my part and contribute in ways that I feel can help move things forward.
**As a content curator, I can bring articles like this to the attention of others
**It is my hope this will stimulate discussions
**introduce new ways of looking at things
**create tools and resources for us to function in a more cohesive manner
**make a difference in whatever way we see fit and create dynamic, meaningful relationships both within and outside of these communities
**Work together to help others grow and change

Google Panda 3.2 Update Confirmed
Via Scoop.it - Sculpting Crowdsorcery
“Google has confirmed reports of a Panda update with us. [Google] told us they have done a data refresh of the Google Panda algorithm about a week ago, and added that there were no additional signals or algorithm changes. This was only a data refresh. I saw reports over the past week or so of webmasters commenting about their rankings. Most were complaining that they lost rankings, but some said sites that were originally hit by Panda regained their traffic levels pre-Panda. This would explain the data refresh, where Google ran the algorithm and updated the sites that should or should not have been touched by Panda.” Read the full article: http://searchengineland.com/google-panda-3-2-update-confirmed-109321 (thanks to Giuseppe Mauriello)
