Two weeks ago I left my Internet Marketing Specialist position at Snaptech Marketing to join a conversion optimization firm called WiderFunnel as an Account Manager. I want to tell you about it.

In 2005 I went to Japan… and stayed there for almost 3 years. Just like you, many people I meet are curious why I went there in the first place. This is one of the whole is more than the sum of its parts, but allow me to explain. And since you came from my [...]

This post I wrote two weeks ago while coming back from a family trip in Boston. I’m sitting at a bar at Boston Logan airport waiting for my flight to Vancouver. My trip is over.

Hootsuite Japanese Flavour?

I just tried to log into Hootsuite and found this “Under Construction” page. The surprise was not that Hootsuite is down, but that the message is in both English and Japanese. If you didn’t know, I spent 3 years of my life in Japan. So every time I see a Nippon connection, I’m intrigued. Is [...]

Vancouver SEM Meetup – SEO Clinic Review

Jose Uzcategui — Tue, 25 May 2010 03:22:44 +0000

The slogan was 5 minutes, 5 SEOs, 10 sites. Basically, we had five minutes to take a look at a site we had never seen before and make recommendations from a Search Engine Optimization perspective. It was fun. The Internet connection was pretty crappy, but it gave us enough to go over most sites. It [...]

Jose Uzcategui — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 05:02:25 +0000

Lately I’ve been getting an unusual amount of Foursquare* request to connect with people. Most of the people sending the requests, unfortunately, will find that I’m ignoring it. That’s probably because either I don’t know you well enough, or I don’t recognize your user name. So before you go sending me or anyone else a [...]
