Editorial Changes

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I try not to bore you guys with every little thing that I do to and on this site, but if you visit regularly you are sure to see sidebar widgets come and go, font changes, page lineup changes, ad nauseum. But the changes I am thinking about today ...

Strike While the Iron is Hot

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

It’s common knowledge in the blogging industry that updating more frequently will net you more viewers and feed subscribers than writing fewer, perhaps higher-quality posts.  Today, I wanted to address this topic and see if it is actually true.

Tell Me About RSSmeme

Monday, May 12th, 2008

This isn't going to be just any run-of-the-mill review from me. Why? Because the application I am going to review is different in several substantial ways: It isn't a piece of software you install on your PC It isn't a web application like Gmail or YouTube It really isn't exactly meant to be ...

FeedFlare, Disqus and gReader

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

In my last post I asked the question, "how can I show how many comments my entries have in my feed?"  I actually sent an email to TechDirt (since I read their feed and it has that feature) and Dennis Yang (who is on Twitter too!) wrote me a very ...

Tell Me About StumbleUpon

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

StumbleUpon isn't very much like any social bookmarking site out there. And, in a way, that is good. If you are relatively new to web surfing, or even if you feel like you are going to the same 5 web sites every day, StumbleUpon is the perfect remedy.

I Fixed a Commenting Issue

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Followup: Twitter Thoughts

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

As usual, I was messing around with a new WordPress plugin from Sphere (you can see the new link at the bottom of each post) and I decided to test it on my Twitter post. It did what it was designed to do and found a bunch of Twitter-related ...

What Is Social Bookmarking?

Friday, March 28th, 2008

When you are clicking around looking at different web sites, you are bound to visit one that you want to return to later.  What do you do in that case?  Simple, your web browser has a handy bookmark feature that allows you to save a link to the current ...

Gary Vaynerchuck Twittered It Out

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I recently wrote a review of Twitter, so I wanted to share a related video with you, from Gary Vaynerchuck, founder of Wine Library. In this video he is speaking about Twitter vs Facebook from his personal video blog. I really think he's really on to something here.

More Tweaking

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I'm up late tweaking this site again. Ok, so I've been up late almost every night this week but, hey, I'm excited about it. In any case, you should notice that I've pulled most of the ads I had up initially. I wanted a cleaner look and ...
