Good SEO is a by-product of not being a dick on the internet.
There’s no magic in software, there’s only ever forethought.
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise and dispraise than to describe and define.

Yes, I know you’re a master of the web, that you’ve visited every website written in English, that you’ve been going to SXSW for ten years, that you were one of the first bloggers, you used Foursquare before it was cool and you can code in HTML in your sleep. Yes, I know that you sit in the back of the room tweeting clever ripostes when speakers are up front failing on a panel and that you had a LOLcat published before they stopped being funny.
But what have you shipped?
What have you done with your connection skills that has been worthy of criticism, that moved the dial and that changed the world?
Go, do that.
A great, short post from Seth Godin
I don’t care about “open” half as much as I care about “good”.
In most cases, the reason I don’t do special requests has to do with the customer’s reason for making it. Most of the time when a customer makes a special request, it’s not about the food but about his own desire to be in control and to establish his own specialness. Making people feel special through this kind of ass kissing is one of the services that a restaurant can provide to people who need it, but it’s not a service that I want to provide.
Shipping a 1.0 product isn’t going to kill you, but it will try
