I was checking my web tracker logs and saw a few hits from this page. It looks like I’m nominated on this German website in the category “Most Valuable Business Website”. Although I’ve never heard of this website createordie.de before it’s an honor to be nominated :) I’m there along with some very popular websites.
I’m [...]

I know, it’s a cliché… but I’ve been busy with other things ;) And it looks like my brilliant trick isn’t quite bullet-proof – although I have dozens of drafts in WordPress, another dozen of Notepad documents and also physical notepads with half-finished blog posts… But somehow I couldn’t find the time to finish these [...]

Happy holidays and a happy new year. At the end of the year people often look back over what happened that year. I think viral videos are fascinating – how a video travels around the world through word-of-mouth or click-of-link from person to person until millions of people have seen it. Sometimes this is just [...]

Checking in on my top commentators is kind of regular thing and I don’t want to stop it (not yet anyways…). So in the spirit of “better late than never” here are a few posts from August’s most expressive readers:
Etienne has an interesting list covering the recent Google PageRank shakeup. A few A-list bloggers saw [...]

I like it when people comment on my blog. When people leave comments on blog posts I’m much more motivated to write more posts.

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 so [...]

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 [...]

Just wanted to wish my readers happy Easter (or whatever you celebrate – or just happy Sunday). I recently heard about this Easter egg hunt that Mark Joyner has set up to promote his Simpleology book. Just go to this site and look for it. In case you don’t know what I mean by [...]
