I can’t think of many songs that kick a$$ harder than “The Edge of Time” … maybe “Blaze of Glory” from Bon Jovi? “November Rain” by Guns n’ Roses?

Is Rand Fishkin on tsū? Will the real Rand Fishkin please stand up?

Is Rand Fishkin on tsÅ«?  


One day last week when I was out on mobile, I messaged +Ammon Johns in utter excitement because I saw that Rand_Fishkin followed and friended me on tsÅ«. If this had happened anywhere else, I'd have thought twice about believing it was the real Rand. But the truth of the matter is that Ammon and +Bill Slawski (friends with Rand) are my tsÅ« children, and so it all seemed logical that if +Rand Fishkin was going to check out the new platform he might connect with me there on the basis of association. New platforms are like that as I've come to learn from having been an early adopter on Ello.

When I got home, I rushed to my desktop to check out my new connection... 


"Hmm... It looks like +Rand Fishkin," I thought to myself...


Looks can be deceiving. Always make sure you do your homework so that you know just who it is that you are following.


When I took a second look after being alerted by a message in my notifications from +Christine DeGraff, I noticed that the website linked to this account was neither the Moz Website or Rand's Personal Blog, either of which I would have expected. I followed the link and this is what I found: Work at Home Addict:
   
Eek! Totally not anything Rand or Moz-like.

Running to a trusted source can become a crutch, therefore, it's best to learn a few key ways to spot an impersonator for yourself. 


As it was quite late and I knew that Ammon would snugly be tucked away in bed, I decided to continue my investigation on my own. I could clearly see that I had reason to believe this Rand was not THE Rand. And though I knew that Ammon would be able to tell me for sure - I just couldn't wait for him to wake before I looked further into this. I was hot on the trail! 
  
When in doubt, go with your instinct and ask for confirmation from trusted sources.



After we fleshed out the details of the deceit, it was clear that my fortunate friending was but an illusory happenstance. At any rate, I was pleased to have one of my goals back. Goals reached with little effort, or at least novice efforts I might rightly say, have little merit and offer even less to grow from. 

It felt good that we had figured this one out as comrades in arms. Yet still, something nagged at me; I felt compelled to keep searching out the deception.
Onward did I ho! I came across this disreputable post shortly thereafter... 

This sexist post would never be shared by the real Rand Fishkin. 


I pressed on still to check the other shared link - Rand_Fishkin's Pinterest site. I compared it to Moz on Pinterest


The comparison is actually quite pathetic, really.


The more evidence I found against this imposter, the more infuriated I grew. I no longer felt the nice pat on the back that I had given myself earlier for discovering the false Rand. This went beyond a typical fake social media profile to game more followers. This guy led thousands to follow him while destroying Rand's character in tsÅ« - - and he continues to get paid for it! 

Now I must ask:



TsÅ«'s FAQ states impersonation is prohibited, under penalty of banning and deleting user content. 


Well tsu.co, are you going to do something about this already? Will you enforce your policies? I let it sit for days thinking that I'd return and the profile would be booted. It wasn't  - instead, it's just grown more connected. I would have thought that with Christine pinging in some of the major players that they would have wanted to take care of such a gross attempt to take advantage of tsÅ«'s system and its users. I saw no response as of the time of this writing.

This could be considered a rant by some, and that's fine. It's not my attempt to rant for ranting's sake. Instead, I'm calling for action before we must find out just how many people who have earnestly worked with due diligence need to be strewn threw the mud before tsu.co gets their policing in order. And just for fun - so I can give a little somethin' for daddy - I might as well ask how many Barack Obamas and Captain Jack Sparrows does it really take to build a tsÅ«nami?  

Getting to the heart of why I'm sharing and my call-to-action... 


Perhaps what angers me most about all of this is that the real Rand Fishkin may not even know that this guy is out there using his name, his posts, his picture, and reputation to swindle people out of money because Rand is super busy all the time. The real Rand Fishkin is a family man with a special reverence for the women in his life - and there is NO possible way that he would share some of the smut I saw on his profile. The scary thing is that the smut is intermingled with Moz content that the Work at Home Addict stole which makes it difficult to identify this guy as the thief that he is at first glance. "Stealing? Thief? Isn't that a bit harsh?" you might ask. NO! When you share someone's content under the pretense that it is yours, that is stealing.

~Final question: Does this still sound like a beautiful new, and fair way to use social media, tsu.co? 


Please get it together. If for nothing else, for the sake of your vision. It's one thing to go down because a system didn't work - it's another beast entirely to be forced to say you failed because the people walked away and you could have taken action.


A brief look at the real +Rand Fishkin:  

Learn more About Rand.




♦♦♦♦♦♦

Update (Nov. 17, 2014): Rand_Fishkin of tsÅ« (the fakey one) has updated his tsÅ« profile to show moz.com as his web address.

Giving even more of an opportunity to slam him against the wall!


Stay tuned for more on how you can help change the face of tsÅ«, and quite possibly the face of the Internet. If we don't stand together now and stand firm then it's all going to run us over eventually. The most important thing we can protect is identity. 

We are each other's keepers.

Identity and Developing a New Focus



I am currently involved in writing, research, and gathering data for which I can be completely transparent and share with you my intent to build a repository of images which can be classified under #PastIdentities in order to use them to contrast with the picture of our #NewFocus.



I’ve shared with you an example of one of my #PastIdentities. This is a serious project, intended for real growth in understanding our own evolution, as well as the evolution of others. It is amazing, sometimes, the things we think others know about us. I believe that we can heal deeply-rooted wounds when we learn to connect with other people’s pain and progress. Sometimes, it is enough to respect someone by simply knowing how far they’ve come. And sometimes the person that needs to see this the most is our self.



If you would like to participate in this project, please comment below.

Sh/o: +Grizwald Grim

Finding Zoe: A review by Kristin Drysdale



Finding Zoe: A review by Kristin Drysdale




Through no veil of emotions, Brandi Rarus and Gail Harris capture each person’s story in such a unique way that one could easily forget that “Finding Zoe” has a cast of very real people. The art of storytelling is used spectacularly to let us see behind the eyes of each pivotal person in Zoe’s journey. 

With historical context framing the events, we as readers are able to scaffold the story and understand that this was no ordinary “coming home” tale. It is as much a glimpse into the complex web of social infrastructure within the deaf community, as it is a celebration of how far we have come in the acceptance of people’s differences. 

As the events unfold for the former Miss Deaf America, we are led through her personal story of self-acceptance and absolute devotion to being true to herself, her family, and her destiny to find Zoe.

It doesn’t get much more eclectic than the musical genius compilation we know as the Violent Femmes. Love this band! Enjoyed this musical throwback from 1985. Gordon Gano still rocks it today - and so do his band members. Viva La Femmes!

Critical Acumen

Critical Acumen

"For people who have no critical acumen, a state is a mythical entity, for those who think critically it is a rational fiction, created by man in order to facilitate human coexistence."
~Friedrich DÃŒrrenmatt (1921–1990), Swiss dramatist, novelist, essayist. Trans. by Gerhard P. Knapp (1995). Czechoslovakia 1968 (1968).


What's so wrong with belief?


I suppose, really, that it's not so much that I am bothered by DÃŒrrenmatt's gender-exclusive language which was used so commonly in his era-- nor do I fret about the original context from which this quote is taken. It is more a thing of general discontentment which I feel from the deeper notion that somehow the sharper minds are those of us who purposefully design and create meaning to attach to purpose vs. those who refuse to acknowledge the possibility there could be any validity or usefulness at all. ...Are there no other plausible alternative perspectives? What's so wrong with the observation of the divine around us, and the subsequent acknowledgment of its meaning and eternal quality?

Would matter cease to exist if our ribonucleic chains had somehow never coded in just the precise way to create intelligence? Of course not! Or at least I don't believe so, though I can see how someone could clearly make a case against my thesis.

...and now that I've facilitated a conversation point (dare I say a #DeepStuff)...

...ready, set, GO!

Truth in creation



Every word,

Every phrase,

Every paragraph and essay…

Each born from someone else’s creative contribution.



It matters not what was said, nor does it matter how it made you feel. The thing that matters most is the change it’s made inside of you and what you plan to do with it.



Choose wisely.
