Metaweb Joins Google
Posted by Taus July 20, 2010
Everyone, everywhere should know about Metaweb, a company incubated by Applied Minds. Why? Because now that Google has purchased the company and Freebase, their growing open database of ”entities” (think: logically ordered keywords), everything from content creation and SEO to distribution is going to change. Not overnight or anything. But it will change.
Don’t get it? I didn’t either. This video might help:
WordPress Security Plugin for Rackspace Cloud Sites
Posted by Taus July 17, 2010
Anyone that manages a WordPress site knows that it can be a bit of a challenge to maintain site security. And, if you are managing a lot of them it can be quite an effort.
Today, I found myself cleaning out a site that had been the subject of a malicious attack. And after securing the site, I came across a new WP plugin that is designed to scan and secure WordPress sites that are being hosted on Rackspace Cloud Sites.
The scanner automatically checks file permissions and provides a on-click correction for permissions. It also scans all of your posts for malicious code such as posts containing base64_decode (or edoced_46esab), script tags, hidden css elements or iframes.
So check out the JW Cloud Sites Scanner and send Jackson Whelan a big thanks (and donation if he gets that going)… thanks Jackson!
