![]() Ever wonder what goes into a Instagram algorithm |
Ever wonder what goes into a Instagram algorithm Who decides what you see ?How are posts ranked ?What variables have more weight than others ?Does IG care how I post or how frequently ?How do I attract followers like bugs to a light ?If you are like me, you wonder the above questions, and more. The following article looks into the basics of the metrics of Instagram, and why the do it. Greed. The purpose of the app is to generate huge mountains of data, which can be purchased, used, sliced and diced to make money for IG shareholders. Like FaceBook, IG has development teams that want to get you hooked and reward quality content over quantity. InstaGram Algorithm (pdf) |

InstaGram Like a Dyson #instagram #seo #hashtag Vaccum up the competition. Often wonder how to get in the Top likes on Instagram ? Try lots of trial-and-error, and you’ll learn the ways. I use the law of 3’s. I use Tagzgen app to prepare my post, hashtags, and then follow-up comment hashtags - all posted virtually simultaneously. I also do follow-up tags in comments, while leaving the post unedited. That way you don’t have to edit the post to get additional followers, likes, or comments to engage and maintain freshness.

Social Media: Start a Feeding Frenzy (pdf) | Every feel that you simply don’t have enough time ? Wondering how to make your posts more automated, since they share the same information ? Want to put in one bait to feed the hungry sharks ?The drudgery of building captions and posts for Instagram and other social media takes valuable time away from your travel experience. Whether it’s work or fun, you want time to enjoy. Imagine a world where you only had to create content once, then share it cross platform. Even better, imagine blending in the nuances of each feed, and customizing automatically the caption, while keeping the basic information the same.

MSC Bellissima: Beautiful ship but a cruise to avoid Ever wonder what is too big for a cruise ship ? Look no further, it’s the MSC Bellissima. While a beautiful new ship, it’s overcrowded without the staff to support the 4,500 passenger load. Antiquated card based POS systems only make things worse, especially when trying to incorporate the medallion RFID system.Unsure if it’s the Italian way of doing business, or the staff is overwhelmed, but the organization is fraught with problems, inefficiencies, and has the potential for very unsanitary operating conditions, especially in the buffet area (no soap or sanitary lotion many times).

![]() Red Light Therapy at 660nm Improves Eyesight |
Red Light Improves Eyesight Recent studies (June 2020) confirm that for adults over 40, a red spectrum (LLLT or Low level light therapy) light can help the functioning of mitochondria.There was a 14 percent improvement in the ability to see colors, or cone color contrast sensitivity, for the entire two dozen participants. The spectrum for this therapeutic red light is around 660 nm. I have been using the Amzcool device (shown to the left and link below) for almost a year now, and love it. I use it for both my eyes, and for knee pain. It works for both eyes and skin healing (verfied by NASA).For more details, please follow the link for our detailed review.
