The Korean Restaurant

by Steven Sentosa on February 21, 2009

Did you remember when we kidnapped one of my friend, Chang Hun, to this new Korean restaurant in town here? Well…I finally had chance to go back there again with some of my friend and got some pictures.

So far, all the food that I tried are good. This time, instead of Kimchi Chige, I ordered Bibim Bap. One warning I should give you when you ordred Kimchi Chige is that it’s really….really HOT, both temperature hot and spicy hot! I think it’s because they are using stone bowl, so the bowl itself preserves the hotness of the soup. For Bibim Bap, you might need to add salt though, buy may be it’s just me. Other than that, the meal itself is good, lots of vegetables in it, and had good portion too. I can’t finish it, so I brought some back home.

If you are visiting Pensacola, FL, you should visit this restaurant.

Using Twitter in Surgery?

by Steven Sentosa on February 17, 2009

I got this video from a RT by @JayGilmore. It really opens my eyes on how limitless we can use Twitter. We can use Twitter for everything from education, group meeting and discussion, status update, sport match commentary, even package tracking (just some random ideas I come up with). Plus, with Twitter API, you can develop Twitter apps for various needs.

In this video the surgeon used Twitter to broadcast the operation to the whole world as he uses Twitter as one of his teaching method. It’s a brilliant idea, isn’t?

Do you have any ideas on what you want to use your Twitter for? It doesn’t have to be something that you have already done, it could be something random that you think would be cool and useful for others. If you have one, please share it here.

Page #1 in Google Search. Really?

by Steven Sentosa on February 15, 2009

Wow…unbelievable! One of my blog post is actually on the first page of Google, under certain keywords obviously. Those keywords are “western digital element 1tb” and “WD elements 1tb”. It’s pretty cool actually, because my post was there along with wdc.com, amazon.com, and newegg.com.

I don’t know how it happened, but it just happened. May be you can tell me why. My analysis tells me that I was because of the title of the post itself, “HOT DEAL for Western Digital Elements 1TB”, and the several times I mentioned about “ Western Digital Elements 1 TB” and “WD Elements 1TB” in the post itself. I think Google evaluate my post based on its relevancy with the keyword  ”Western Digital Element 1TB”. Since Google found several variations of that keyword in my post, it must think that my post is highly related, therefore getting high rank for it.

Based on my observation, here are several tips on how to be on Google #1 page:

  1. Before you create a post, think about the keyword (or keywords) that you want your post to score high rank on.
  2. Find a good blog post title that incorporate that keyword as much as possible, without harming your reader. I mean, you can always use this big long keyword as your title, like “very hot super deal western digital hard drive 1 terra byte (1TB) the best deal in the planet,” but this keyword will not too appealing for readers and rather annoying.
  3. When you write your blog post, keep the keywords in your mind, and taylor your writings to use those keywords through out the place in your post. Repetitive use is fine, as long as it doesn’t hurt the quality of the content.
  4. Learn from past success. Track…Track…and Track.

What do you think? have you ever been on page #1 Google? how did you do that?
