Playstation Move

So, the great world of technology has blessed us with things like the iPad and the Move. But why is it that they cannot keep my phone battery from letting me down? Aside from my technological frustrations at the moment, I have to say that the Playstation Move looks like it could be pretty cool. However, I have to wonder as a Wii user, if it will have the ability to overtake it. The Wii has had a firm hold on this aspect of the gaming market for such a long time. I think that the Move has a tough road for a vie in the gaming market but since we are such a curious people it will grab the attention and maybe even the hands of true Wii devotees.

Tigers reach NAIA Elite 8 making school history

(Sioux City, Iowa.) Iowa Wesleyan's Women's Basketball team advanced to the NAIA Division II Elite 8 Friday with a 72-60 win over Jamestown (N.D.) College at the Tyson Events Center.

The first half was a back and fourth struggle offensively between both teams. The half ended with IWC up by one point with a score of 31-30. However, Jamestown came out strong and by the 17:42 mark of the second half they were up 37-33.

That was the last time the Jimmies would have the lead. Over the next nine minutes, IWC led by Jessi Beachey (Jr-Fisher, Ill.) and her 19 point offensive onslaught would take over control of the game.

With 4:20 left, the Jimmies had pulled it to within two at 57-55. But a three point answer from IWC's Jill Ginder (Jr-Olney, Ill.) and a subsequent field goal from Beachey gave the Tigers the edge they needed. Jamestown never got closer than five points the rest of the game.

Beachey's teammate, Melanie McCreight (Jr-Winfield, Iowa), also ended up with 19 points in the effort. McCreight went 3 of 5 from behind the arc and helped IWC stay in the game with 10 first half points. IWC's leader and point guard, Anna Jones (So-Cornell, Ill.), added 14 of her own and led the team with 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Ginder finished with 11.

The Tigers Elite 8 round game will be played on Saturday at 3 p.m. and they will face the #1 seed, Northwestern (Iowa).

Twitter Locations

So, I noticed a couple weeks ago that now when you post a tweet beneath it, it will add your geographic location. What will be next? Will you be able to add that you are at the Hy-Vee, Aisle 7, in Cedar Rapids, IA? Or maybe, from my home bath tub? Is all this really necessary?

SEO

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an extremely important tool for attracting traffic to your organization's site. For my client, Iowa Wesleyan, there are some things I would do to improve their SEO. I would try to find inbound links for organizations in the Mt. Pleasant and Burlington area that offer their support to IWC. In doing so, this will help increase their number of internal and external links and in turn increase their site's visibility on the web. An area that I think some aspects of the school's website struggles in, is in how they use keywords and tags. For the articles and updates they post on the various social media programs they use, they do not always have the catchiest headlines. And on their Facebook page, some of the tags in their photos are not always the most flattering for their students. In addressing these issues, IWC can better the attention they recieve from prospective students, their parents, or alumni. Lastly, an area I would look into is the use of key words in the web addresses for their social media programs.
