Google Glass Explorer Technology Expert / Tech Food Life 12-12-2013


At first glance and first time through, you might not notice any errors exist.. and believe me, if someone decided to scope through my blog seeking errors, and if I didn't do the same to other sites, I might work myself up into a tizzy.  However, I understand the nature of the game.

My point for these posts is to educate and inform.



It must be fun contributing to this Google Glass Explorer Team.  I like that they choose tech experts.. even self-proclaimed ones. 




"As an early adopter I have been able to witness Google Glass evolve into the most innovative wearable technology device." 

There is no "d" necessary.. the word should not be "evolved".

Of course, endless rewrites would allow multiple sentences conveying the same meaning.

{{Having been an early adopter of Google Glass, I have experienced firsthand its innovation and unlimited power which has defined it as the world's top wearable technology device.}}

Lofty, I know.. but I love lofty words.

Google Lead Services / Advertising and SEO Services 12-9-2013






Take a closer look.

I think you meant "One of the most effective tools for growing your website's recognition is a blog, but the blog must be properly set up and   placed directly on your site to be most effective."  

 Anyhow, I think the entire passage should be rewritten, and at the very least, edited..  ? 

I'm not sure how comfortable you feel hiring someone to manage your website and be in charge of your site's SEO when they write sentences like this.

Pacific San Diego Mag / Photo Contest 12-4-2013




 I had to read through twice to see if I was missing something..


Nope, turns out they were missing something.



It's Christmas time, so I'm gifting you with a "be".

"In any of these cases, your compensation may be limited to exposure in the magazine or a cash prize or restaurant gift certificates."

To quote Black Eyed Peas..  "Ima be Ima be Ima Ima Ima be.."  because without it, it just doesn't make sense. 


We could take this one step further : 

"In any of these cases, your compensation may be limited to exposure in the magazine or a cash prize or restaurant gift certificates."

...could be condensed::


{{In any of these cases, your compensation may be limited to exposure in the magazine, a cash prize, or restaurant gift certificates.}}
