A few weeks ago this blog made it into the Technorati Top 100 and it has stayed there thanks to people continuing to add my blog as a favorite in Technorati. I’ve even climbed up a few places (but gone down again). Well, as always, I’ve been monitoring my web stats and I’ve noticed some [...]

I don’t know about you but sometimes I just don’t have enough time to write a whole blog post. Writing a post/article can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours (with research, reading it over a few times for review, fixing typos, etc…) and sometimes I have a ton of other stuff to [...]

Seth Godin is a pretty well known marketer and he’s got a great blog. There he regularly posts insightful tips/articles/news regarding marketing or just business in general. Recently I’ve noticed that he’s been hinting at some business opportunities that could be profitable: Create a niche “interesting videos” site – Sort of a TV Guide for [...]

As a blog owner one of your biggest assets is your readers – if you don’t have any readers there isn’t much point in blogging (unless you just got started). Having a lot of readers is great but what really adds life to a blog are comments – and you definitely want to encourage comments. [...]

This might be a little late since we’re more than half-way through May, but here goes… Here are some of April’s top commentators and interesting posts I found on their blogs: Techified takes a look at the second generation of iPod Shuffle – the MP3 player I’m using at the gym has only 128 MB [...]

Blog memes are pretty cool – I think the viral aspect of them is quite interesting. It looks like Collis over at North X East has tagged me in a meme started by The Paper Bull called “If I Could Only Read 5 blogs”. That’s a hard one… I subscribe to a few dozen blogs [...]

On the WordPress dashboard (when you’ve logged into your blog) you can see links to recent blog posts and other news regarding WordPress. I was checking out some of the posts and read this post by Lorelle where she says Matt just announced a delay of version 2.2. One thing I noticed was that Lorelle [...]

I’m very interested in viral marketing. It’s just fascinating to see what gets picked up and becomes viral and watching how it grows. You can learn a lot by watching successful viral campaigns, reverse engineering them and trying to figure out what made them viral. One viral campaign that I think went pretty well is [...]
