Although I must admit like Mr.Happy I'm fully pimped up with Firefox add ons and SEO tools, but it's only a handful I regularly use. I LOVE Aaron Walls new rank checker plug-in, it's sweeeeeeeeet http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/ I LOVE spreadsheets, I'm more likely to use a few tools , extract information and make my own formula in a spreadhsheet and build on that. I think it's crucial for SEOs to have their own theories on how "things" works, not just rely on "tools" to tell you how it is. You need to use your brain as well! No point in using loads of keyword tools for example if you don't ALSO use your brain =) I agree, definitely think you can become a bit lazy and miss out on alot of learning if you totally depend on tools doing everything for you.

I do type with more than two fingers though. Usually. And your nofollow point is an excellent one! There are so many basic bits of what we do every day, and a lot of SEOs have no clue as to how to do them. They just tell someone else to...not a good thing really. And please swear. I love swearing. @Mr. Happy: I LOVE spreadsheets! OK I will stop before I become even more of a dork. @Jane: I actually do that a lot…damn. I do type with more than two fingers though. Usually.

I'm not quite a luddite but I do sit in the middle of the SEO luddite spectrum. I have a 'pimped' out firefox with plugins that take up more screen real estate than is probabaly healthy. That said I do have a strange fascination for spreadsheets and laboriously tracking link development in them - have tried using programs to do it for me (and they saved me time) but just couldnt get used to them (kinda like using windows Vista - yeah it may be great but where the f**k do I find half the stuff I want) Hmm.

And I see you doing so with two fingers, like my Dad. Actually, it would be neat if everyone did that for a bit. The "typing out our own shit" thing, not the typing with two fingers. You have no idea how long I've sat looking at MSN Messenger while it says "David is typing a message." I had someone ask me the other day how to add a nofollow to a link. Come on; we really should know how to do these things like we know how to breathe in and breathe out. Especially if you're me and you nofollow out of spite. Also now good to know it's okay to swear on SEO Chicks. Not sure I know why I ever doubted that.
