Last night I signed up on BlogMad, a blog traffic exchange site. Through the last few hours of the night and early this morning, my traffic has increased tremendously. I’m impressed, to say the least. Definitely check them out if you’re looking to increase traffic and find new and interesting blogs. I’ll put a full [...]
I stumbled upon a fairly easy-to-use and straightforward service today. BlogCounter does what it sounds like it should – provide a hit counter and statistics for your blog (although, technically, any site in which you can edit the HTML can be tracked). I had to insert a small snippet of JavaScript into my Blogger template, [...]
There’s a new search engine in town. This one, however, is different. Sphere, which just recently launched, is a blog-only search engine. That’s right, blog only. Why would anyone need search results only from blogs? It makes sense, actually. As a result of the increased popularity of blogging, there are probably multiple blogs touching any [...]
Michael over at TechCrunch just reported on RapLeaf, a portable commerce feedback system a la eBay reputation. The big difference between eBay and RapLeaf is that RapLeaf isn’t tied to any service. In other words, you can use your RapLeaf reputation rating on a Craigslist listing and use the same reputation rating in an email [...]
I’ve seen a million (or so it seems) supposed “Skype killers” and, so far, none of them have even been Skype competitors. Om Malik has posted about a new version of Yahoo Instant Messenger. If the things he’s saying it’s going to be, and there’s no reason to believe it won’t, are true then Skype [...]
In a move that might signal the beginning of the end of the RIAA cartel’s scare tactics operation, an Oregon woman was given the right by a judge to hire her own “expert” to determine whether or not she has committed the crimes accused her by the RIAA. The judge even ordered that the cartel [...]
I have to share this. First, let me mention two things: one, Saturday Night Live has hired the funniest group of writers I’ve seen in a long time. They’re actually a group of friends calling themselves Lonely Island. They’ve done a couple of hilarious skits and short films. Second, I’ve discovered a great website for [...]
I don’t know whether or not I’ve mentioned it here before but, I’m a huge Apple computer fan. Today they unleashed a couple new software and hardware gems. I won’t delve into detail about the hardware (think dual core Intel processors) as I would rather rant about software. The reason I switched to Apple in [...]
Looks like the long rumored Google – iTunes pertnership had a shred of validity (they usually do). This can only help the legal online music business. Instead of finding links to myriad spyware-riddled P2P apps when searching for music, maybe a user will be directed to a resource where they can legally purchase the content. [...]
It became clear to me recently that our company would have to rethink our web delivery strategy. Although we have positioned ourselves somewhat against Flash, I came to the conclusion that it would be the only platform that we knew of that could satisfy our requirements. Being the adventerous type that I am, I quitely [...]
