I am a competitive webmaster and search engine optimizer living in Inwood, Manhattan. This is my micro-blog for quick thoughts and photos. My more complete articles are located at Mike Levin.
I'm also an ex-Philly suburbanite technophile learning how to be a New Yorker, tumbling my way into the second half of my life with the help of Mrs Levin, the love of my life (twitter), and my zoo. I am also the creator of the keyword tool HitTail.com, and am currently trying to pull off something big. So follow my tweets, friend me on Facebook or check me out on LinkedIn.
