Quad’s Best of the Internet #11

October 25, 2013 in Quad

It’s Friday!

As is tradition, on every Friday we like to round up some of our more interesting findings from the World Wide Web. This week is no different, so I present to you, Quad’s Best of the Internet! *fireworks*

Russell Brand caused quite a stir this week by guest editing and writing a 4,500 word essay in the New Statesman, and going head-to-head with Jeremy Paxman in an interview for Newsnight. If you’ve not seen the interview, you really should. Regardless of whether or not you agree with Brands stance, it certainly sends a powerful message. So much so that it’s accrued over two million hits on YouTube in just 2 days.

Next up is our Tumblr of the week and very topical it is too… !

Nobody likes the sound of a toddler losing their sh*t with the world for literally no reason whatsoever, but when it does happen, you might as well have a bit of fun… Here we have a fathers perfect lip sync of his daughters demonic tantrum, very much to the amusement of his wife and two sons! The video went hugely viral this week, accruing nearly 3 million hits on YouTube in just a few days!

As well as regularly throwing their toys out of the pram, another thing very small children like to do is sleep. So what better way to pass the time when your little bundle of joy is out for the count, than to turn their nap times into colourful dream scenarios! Click the image to see the whole collection.

Finally this week we have ! There’s been some weird and wonderful sightings on Google Street View in the time it’s been running, and this collection of screen shots illustrates that point beautifully!

That’s your lot for this week and to top it all off, it’s nearly the weekend!

Look around you at your stony faced colleagues as they reluctantly crunch numbers into another Excel spreadsheet. In a few hours they’ll be at the bar nailing apple sours with their tie wrapped round their head… Here’s to Friday night!

Quad’s Best of the Internet #10!

It’s Friday!

As is tradition, on each and every Friday, we like to compile our favourite interweb findings from the week! This week I think we’ll start with this… A man running late for work calls his boss to let him know and stumbles across a very random situation. He then ends up leaving the funniest voicemail ever recorded!

Next up is some sterling customer service from the Netflix customer care team. Hat’s off to Cpt. Mike of the good ship Netflix! Click the image to see the entire transcript.

By now you should really know what Tinder is, and if you don’t then hopefully this trailer for Tinder: The Movie will shed some light!

Next up are some quite incredible photographs of mountain goats doing their thing! The mind boggles when trying to work out just how they keep their balance. But they do, and it’s worth a look .

Staying on the theme of animals, no post would be complete without an appearance from our feline overlords. This time giving their brothers, the dogs, a hard time! Click the screenshot to watch the video.

The Bad Lip Reading guys are known for creating some very funny videos, and this time is no different! A bad lip reading of Game Of Thrones!

And finally, the greatest 50 Cent / Captain Picard GIF there ever was!

So there you have it, another week completed (nearly)! See all those people around you, numbly typing numbers into spreadsheets? Well in a matter of hours they’ll all be in da club, Jägered up to their eye balls, regretfully getting off with each other.

Have a great weekend!

What every blogger needs to know about SEO

October 16, 2013 in Blogging , SEO

If you’re serious about blogging then you need to ensure that your blog is visible to the audience you want to target. Otherwise people who may be actively searching for the content you’re producing, may never find you.

There’s a huge number of bloggers consistently creating great content, but many are sitting there scratching their heads over why their sites just aren’t driving any traffic. Nine times out of ten, the reason is going to be a poor grasp of SEO.

SEO is complicated, technical and ever-changing. But understanding the basics can have a huge effect on your online presence, helping you stand out in the crowd to ensure your content is found by the people who want to read it. Read the rest of this entry →

Quad’s Best of the Internet #9

It’s Friday!

Everyone knows that on Fridays we like to do a round up of the best of the web, and this Friday is no different… So without further a do, I give you QUAD’S BEST OF THE INTERNET #9!

This week we’ll start with Tom Hanks! You probably know that he has  a new movie coming out very soon, but the question on everyone’s lips is, how did he get this far? I think this video sums it up pretty well, it’s Tom Hanks: The Movie!

Next up this week we have what I believe to be the best article ever to come out of Buzzfeed. It’s called , and it’s amazing. Hat’s off to the author, Tom Phillips . Obviously it’s all made up, but that kind of makes it even funnier… William Price-Hound, although fictional, is a hell of a guy.

Next up is one of my favourite music videos of the moment, it’s for a track called Afterglow and it’s by UK D&B producer, Wilkinson. You can pre-order the single here  po.st/AfterglowiT .

Enjoy that? Good, let’s continue. So far there’s been a distinct lack of cats, so here we have a retired military dog meeting a kitten for the first time.

Right, I’m glad we’ve got that out of the way…

I posted this earlier this week, but it’s so good that it needs a repost. A totally accurate map of the Northern Line!

I’m sure everyone has seen this next video, a hidden camera experiment that captures the reactions of unsuspecting customers at a New York City coffee shop as they witness a telekinetic event.

Finally this week, we have the literal video version of Total Eclipse of the Heart… Enjoy!

There we have it, just another week in the world of the Internet!

In a couple of hours time it is literally going to be the weekend. You see all those people around you staring blankly at their computers? In a few hours time they’ll all be in Tiger Tiger reluctantly grinding up on each other.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Quad’s Best of the Internet #8!

It’s Friday!

It’s been an interesting week in the world of the web with Miley Cyrus predictably sitting at the top of the trending topics. But let’s not talk about her any more…

First up this week is Marina Shifrin, the woman who quit her job earlier this week in the most public way possible!

and then came the inevitable response from her now former employer…

It’s safe to say that the response did not go down well with the Internet, Marina on the other hand has had job offers coming out of the wood work! Just goes to show the power of the web!

So Scarlett Johansson fell over this week… Obviously the Internet leapt right on her unfortunate tumble in spectacular fashion and created a masterpiece!

Next up we have this slice of musical genius from American a capella group, Pentatonix, and they’re musical evolution…

And finally a one eyed dog…

Yogurt-Pirate-Dog

That’s it for this week!

See all those people around you typing and periodically checking the time? In a few hours they’ll be twerking up against a wall listening to R Kelly…
