These are my Delicious<\/a> links for February 19th through February 25th:<\/p>\n

\n
• HTML URL Encoding Reference<\/a> – Handy table of the URL encoded values for ASCII characters.<\/li>\n
• A foot and a half: Finally, A Use for Twitter<\/a> – Greatest Twitter story evar! I actually saw these tweets from @the_real_shaq while this was happening, now we get the backstory from the guys for whom they were intended. I <3 Shaq!<\/li>\n
• The Crisis of Credit Visualized<\/a> – Astute, approachable, and just plain pretty animated explanation of our current economic situation. Oh, and did I mention INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENING!? Once you realize how simple, and thus fundamental, the underlying problems are, it becomes very difficult to believe in a quick or easy fix. Now, back to stuffing my remaining cash into my mattress…<\/li>\n
• How Freshbooks Built an Army of Passionate Evangelists on Twitter. How are YOU doing so? | Blog of Mr. Tweet<\/a> – A great story from a company passionate about serving customers and building relationships with them (CRB = customer relationship building) and how they extended the reach of that passion through Twitter. Worth the read.<\/li>\n
• The Missing Google Analytics Manual | FutureNow’s GrokDotCom \/ Marketing Optimization Blog<\/a> – A comprehensive collection of the most helpful links and videos to teach you how to get the most out of Google Analytics.<\/li>\n
• Coding Horror: Commandos, Infantry, and Police<\/a> – Quotation of a legendary analogy from Robert X. Cringely’s “Accidental Empires” published in 1993. Cringely characterizes the successive waves of employees who staff a company through its lifecycle from startup to industry leader to incumbent as commandos, infrantry, and military police, respectively.”The [commandos’] job is to do lots of damage with surprise and teamwork, establishing a beachhead before the enemy is even aware that they exist. Ideally, they do this by building the prototype of a product that is so creative, so exactly correct for its purpose that by its very existence it leads to the destruction of other products. They make creativity a destructive act.”<\/li>\n
• Add Community to your Site with Triggit!<\/a> – An interesting idea of using Twitter as a platform to create user communities for your site (a la MyBlogLog). The differentiator is supposed to be that the community discussions happen publicly on Twitter, thus driving more traffic to your site.<\/li>\n
• GroupTweet<\/a> – Cool simple tool to create what are essentially Twitter group mailing lists. You set up a Twitter account for your group, register it with GroupTweet, and then it’s just a bot that RTs any DMs sent to the group account. In order for a group member to be able to post to the whole group, they need to be followed by the group account. And you can control who reads the group messages by protecting the group account’s updates. Simple, elegant, effective.<\/li>\n
• Analytics Talk \u00bb Blog Archive \u00bb Tracking Sub Domains with Google Analytics<\/a> – Best article I could find on how to track subdomains properly in Google Analytics. Surprised they don’t do it right out of the box. But, these easy to follow instructions and screenshots will get you sorted quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
