Dear Apple, Downloads does not equal Developers

Apple’s CFO has announced 200,000 developers for the iPhone are raring to go, and especially rariing to do enterprise applications. Really?

Sponsor Vikki’s Driving Day for The Fire Fighters Charity

Vikki’s asked me to cross-post this from her Facebook Wall…

Affiliate Links, Loose Weight, Buy Pills, or Work Your Ad Inventory

Bloggers shouldn’t expect or deserve Ad Revenue was the incendiary post from last week by Louis Gray. In short (and he’s right) advertisers are looking for high traffic sites that match what their clients are looking to promote (the demographic, be it age, interests or topics). The click through rate on the average personal blog [...]
