So I tried Blogrush, for exactly three minutes

Most of the people who read my blog do so via RSS and never leave a comment. That’s O.K. by me, I enjoy knowing that I provided someone, somewhere with something (at least semi-interesting) to read. I was hoping for more comments when I re-opened my blog. A service named Blogrush was getting quite a [...]

Google tweaks and bloggers weep

I am always fascinated with, if not captivated by the measure of delight that human beings reserve for complaining. I have yet to meet a single person in my lifetime who I have not personally witnessed complaining about something. Many Internet users (including this Internet user) have been complaining at great lengths and fervor regarding [...]

The problem with Google inspired bloggregators

I was not very happy to find myself needing to reserve all rights when it comes to the copyright of the things that I create. All rights reserved means just that, all rights reserved.

What happened to small business networking?

Contextual ads have a place in life (and on web pages). If you are among the lucky few who drew an actual human being to your web site or blog, you’ve managed to capture their attention in some way. Contextual ads allow you to place little boxes on your web site in places that you [...]

Real bloggers don’t bathe.

Due to the commercialization of self-publishing (aka Blogging), many people are now eager to point out ‘fake’ blogs. I was reading a write up of some competition encroaching upon Technorati, the comments below the article (and the article itself) proved to be rather interesting. Many people blog, some of us bathe. I’m sure that married [...]
