I get new followers every day on Twitter even though my tweets aren’t interesting. It’s obvious that most are automated requests clicking through the followers list of A-list tweeters. This is another example of trickster marketing. I bet there are various ways to do this although Google Wealth Maker recently came to my attention via [...]
I’m a big fan of contrarians so I’m going to keep my eyes on a new web site called Life After Google. The related Squidoo lens is a kind of manifesto.
I’ve seen a number of these types of sites come and go since the Google IPO. The best ones simply disappear one day and leave [...]
Magicality is a Squidoo lensmaster who’s goal is “to make $500 per month by the end of 2008 using only Squidoo lenses.” His blog reported a September payout of $96.42 on 73 lenses. I suspect this is frustrating since he passed the $100 a month milestone seven months ago and has been on a plateau [...]

The lessons covering Twitter and FriendFeed where indeed awesome. Since they’ve earned my trust, I’m following Ed Dale’s instructions without question (which is not my normal mode). The only install/service [...]
IM Geek Girl has a great review of WordPress Direct. Lisa has used the service and points out the pros and cons. It’s a joy to find this type of Web content. I ponder about the odds of WordPress Direct creating a similar quality post that would generate the same degree of reader satisfaction.
About a decade ago the buzz was setting up a GeoCities web site. The buzz ended when it became evident that most of the stuff you’d find on geocities.com was crap and a waste of time. I suggest that Squidoo is heading down that path with the added twist that people hope to create residual [...]
I love this video. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get tired of it.
Monthly Page Views are Dead Even According to Quantcast but Alexa Shows a New Trend.
