Thanksgiving Turkey Tales to Kickstart the Festive Season!
A Flying Start!
Penguin Bro-self-chat: "We gotta speed up!"
(With reference to Penguin Refresh: To put it in a nutshell if you have been sent to the naughty corner because your site wasn't 'clean' then even if you redeem your site by disavowing spammy links or replacing these with real ones, be aware it may take some time (10+ months?) before you recover search engine rankings. This is because there is some delay with a Penguin 'Refresh' (you will have to wait for an Algorithm Rerun and not just ordinary search engine refreshes) although there is talk to have this speeded up. Note also the importance of having quality, relevant and "unique content" ... watch the video for the full story. While you may rank higher initially via Google's estimates, further social signals (engagement, etc.) or lack of will determine whether you rise or fall in the SERPs going forward.)
When you post an article with video from Yahoo this way, it will give you a Thumbnail of that Video on Tumblr without any extra work.
When you share this Tumblr post on Google+: your post will appear on your Google+ PROFILE (not Page even if you have chosen to post from a certain Page) - in similar format, ie. big thumbnail + title (with links to your Tumblr post), truncated news and tags (mouseover to view tag-link).

The YouTube Slideshow Creator also facilitates more variations to your slideshows via duration, slide and transition effects:
- slide duration - fit to music or from one to 10 seconds
- slide effect - pan & zoom, or none
- transition effect - 14 effects to choose from
- 9 audios - pop, rock, rap, etc.(the menu changes each time)
This means that even though you use your original content as a 'mould' your 'spin-offs' can be quite unique if you plan this project thoughtfully and creatively. If you begin with a substantial pool of images (and the 9 audio offers are different each time, for each creation), then the permutations / combinations will result in a large amount of new video variations ie. more new content for your social sites.
All this with 6 quick, easy clicks. Pre-select and upload images to an album on your Google+ profile if you do not have any online images that's accessible. Then point to this album when you create videos with the Youtube SlideShow Creator.
Postnote: You may notice that you can still access your old format if you go to Settings (TOP RHS) and to Design (via Account - LHS) if you wish to change your old background image, perhaps to reflect your new header theme for the sake of brand consistency. Unlike YouTube when it redesigned its platform, Twitter hasn't done a clean changeover. Presumably Twitter developers will do away entirely with the old format soon or eventually as it's a confusing mix in its current state, especially for newcomers.
It could all be a hoax of course especially if you find that you've 'collected' 10 billion views, afterall today is April 1st (in some countries)!! At midnight those figures will vaporize like Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach?
