We’ve all seen YouTube’s “suggested videos” feature, but how on earth do you make them go away? Technically, you can’t stop them from appearing on YouTube’s site. Technically.
You can remove them from your embedded videos. If you want to learn how to do this, go to our original post, “Removing “Recommendations” from Embedded YouTube Videos.”
Getting back to that “technically,” there is a work around that allows you to point viewers to watch a video via our channel without the pesky suggested videos popping up. We can’t guarantee that it will work in the future, but it works for now:
1.) Grab the video’s link and copy everything after the youtu.be/ (in this case: CEtt_ivI7Es)
2.) Here’s the magical link that you will need to keep on hand: http://www.youtube.com/user/Isagenix#p/c/0/
3.) Paste that part of the youtu.be link (the CEtt_ivI7Es part) right after the 0/ and you’re done!
It should look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/user/Isagenix#p/c/0/CEtt_ivI7Es
Again, we don’t know how long this trick will work but it’s a worth a shot!
this is all the equipment we need to do the podcast. okay, not really - we just use an iphone.

“I’m on Google Plus – so now what?”
I get this question a lot, mostly because I’m always talking up how great G+ is. So I’m happy to answer that question here.
First, while Google Plus is different from Facebook in a lot of ways, it’s also different in one important way: The way people follow each other. If I “Friend” you on Facebook, we aren’t friends until you return the favor. However, on Google Plus, I can “Circle” anyone I want.

mah newest obession - you probably *need* one.
Hi. My name is Brian, and I’m a gadget junkie. (Everybody say, “Hi, Brian!”)
The number of Apple products I own borders the absurd, and you can ask anyone in the office about my mobile phone addiction. Verizon absolutely loves me – I’m pretty sure they own at least one of my kidneys for all the phone upgrades I’ve done to get the latest and greatest hardware.
So when Amazon (which is my second love next to Apple) said they were going to release a tablet device – the Amazon Kindle Fire – there really wasn’t any question about getting one. Oh, sure – I tried to tell myself I didn’t need it; I already own an iPad, so why do I need an Android tablet?
The answer is so I can review it for you guys. At least, that’s what I tell my wife. There probably needs to be a show on Discovery Channel about people like me. (more…)
Today, we at Isagenix held a Flag Raising Ceremony in tribute to Veteran’s Day.
We pause to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, whose sacrifices ensured and continue to ensure our way of life.
IsaGeeks Podcast on iTunes
IsaGeeks’ first podcast is now live on iTunes. We had to wait a few days to announce it, since it takes a while for Apple to approve everything when you submit a podcast, and we wanted to make sure everything was in order before we did.
Well, it is now! ? If you have iTunes already installed on your computer, you can subscribe to our podcast by clicking on this link to their site.
When you get to this page, click on the, “View in iTunes,” and subscribe from there. You can add it to your mp3 player, or just listen to it on your computer.
A while back, we showed you how to turn on or off importing blogs to your Facebook Notes. Well, it looks like that’s now coming to an end.
If you currently have this set up, you’ve likely already seen this message on your profile:
Why the change? There’s no word. However, if you have this set up currently for your Facebook profile, you will need to add stories manually after the 22nd.
Bear in mind, this is hardly a bad thing. Studies have shown that automatically posting content to Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. drastically reduces engagement. One study showed that auto-posting to Facebook decreased Likes by 70%. Their conclusion was that since Facebook truncated automatic posts, there was less for people to see when they discovered them, and therefore less of a chance that they would interact with them.
My own feeling is that people are less likely to look at something that has been re-shared than something a friend or associate took the time to write out. If you come across a story that is interesting to you, it stands to reason that the people who connected with you with will be more interested in your post if you tell them why you find it interesting yourself.
Hopefully, this is an improvement over the first podcast; we had a bit more time to work on it, and we got $5 for for some audio clips, so now the podcast has a budget! (All baloney aside, you’d be surprised how far $5 will go on the internet for sound bites.)
In this episode, we discuss different ways to help us help you find information and answers to questions, we discuss Tumblr and its benefits vs. WordPress, how to structure your blog with your interests, Eric talks about the “witchcraft” of the new iPhone and which phone you should use, and the super-awesome Tip ‘o the Week.
