Twitter Marketers and Gaming The System
Like a lot of people who use Twitter, I have been getting what seems like an increasing number of internet marketers following me on Twitter.

Iphone Coverage: Damn, Apple. You’re Good

BlogRush - A Second Chance?

Getting Popular by Being Crap
As one that spends a lot of time online, and also pays attention (somewhat) to the national news, one pattern seems to stand out: If you are a pile of crap, people pay lots of attention.
