BlogRush – A Second Chance?
A few days ago, I ripped into BlogRush. I wasn’t alone. Darren Rowse at ProBlogger reported a very low click-through rate. Mashable asked the question on whether it was a traffic generator or a pyramid scheme. The general consensus was that the click-through rate sucked. So after running the widget for a couple days on [...]
Snotting Up My Keyboard
Today is one of those days when sitting in front of the computer working just isn’t that enticing. But, I’m doing it. In recognition of the fact that I hadn’t posted anything here in a few days, I just thought I’d post something – even if it was not exactly internet related. I have a [...]
BlogRush or BlogBust – A Pyramid Scheme?
I made a quick mention of Blogrush a few days ago and have withheld major comment on it – until now. Leave it to John Reese to use his savvy marketing to create such a buzz about this product that bloggers have RUSHed to it in droves. I actually find the name ironic because it [...]
Iran Bans Google
In yet another affront by the Iranian government on it’s people, they have banned access to Google and Gmail inside the nation of Iran. These kinds of stories always catch my eye. Freedom of information is always key to the freedom of people, and you can always tell the governments which are suppressive by how [...]
Anatomy of an Internet Bubble, and How I Almost Fell For It
Those of us who have been online awhile remember the so-called “bubble burst”. We hear about bubbles all the time in this business. People LOVE to speculate about the next bubble burst. In fact, a lot of people are looking at this whole “Web 2.0″ thing as another bubble about to burst. But, what the [...]
Battle of the Bloggers, Childish as Hell
One of the talks given at Gnomedex was that of Jason Calacanis. He came to talk about the pollution on the internet, i.e. spam. All of us know about this stuff. It includes email spam and, more pertinent to Jason’s point, search engine spam. His point? That so many businesses are out there practicing SEO [...]
Twitter a BlowHard Platform?
When I was at Gnomedex, people were sending out “tweets” all the time on Twitter. I found it to be really ironic, actually, considering that my conversations with people usually gravitate to the fact that Twitter is rather useless. But, since bloggers are usually first in line to try the latest crap idea on the [...]
Gnomedex 2007: Was It Worth It?
I have been back from Gnomedex in Seattle for a couple days now. Getting back to the normal schedule and playing a little catch-up. I still have a lot of stuff to go over, but I thought I would provide a little analysis of Gnomedex. Call it my little bit of feedback for Chris. 2007 [...]
Gnomedex – HP’s Party
I am freshly back from the pre-registration party at Gnomedex 2007, sponsored by Hewlett Packard. That means I spent some time talking to the reps from HP. The guy who is (I believe he said) the head of the design team for their notebook PCs. Interesting conversation. He was showing us their new tablet form [...]
In Seattle for Gnomedex and a Little Tired
Just a quickie post. I have arrived in Seattle and I am in my room at the Grand Hyatt paying $9.99 for 24/hours of internet access. Yeah, they kinda rape you on the net access. I don’t know why people can’t just give free wi-fi. Even sitting at Atlanta airport today….tried to check my email, [...]
