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 […]

Daffy Duck says Today is Twitter Cartoon Day

Apparantly today is going to be Twitter Cartoon Day, with the rather splendidly simple idea of changing your avatar over to your favourite cartoon character. Would there be any doubt that I would go for the enternally optimistic, full of wacky ideas, Daffy Duck?

I find it interesting that Twitter is a place where the altering […]

In The Online Twitter/FriendFeed Widget War, Only The Users Win

Perfect - Twhirl (from Seesmic) has decided to add in FriendFeed features, and Alert Thingy (Howard/Baines)has integrated Twitter. Two applciations, looking to be the best, are going to deliver the best possible value… to the user. There’s nothing like an arms race to drive innovation. One of them adds a feature, the other follows, and […]

Microsoft Vista Rocking Video and Spitting Image’s RS232 Interface Lead

A number of sites picked it up, and probably called it correctly as Epic Fail (for example Matthew Ingram’s “Suuuuure it is, whatever makes you guys feel better. I suppose all of these incredible lame videos were in jokes too, right?”). You see, things are funny when the viewer knows they are meant to be […]

Compare and Contrast: Mowser and Mippin’s Variable Fortunes

Russ Beattie, head of Mowser, shut up shop on the venture this week, and placed the content re-aggreator into the mythical Deadpool.
But the traffic never showed up, and what did show up was of questionable quality at best. (Easily 80% of Mowser’s traffic has been related to porn). Maybe that means that the service sucked […]

Good News! PodCamp Boston Charging $50 A Head

News from Penn and Brogan that the upcoming Podcamp Boston (July 19-20) will be charging attendees $50 per head.
Do I agree with the decision? As someone who has organised big events, rationally I do. Attendance at any conference should be worth something, and $50 seems about right as a ‘token’ payment given that a good […]

Not Too Simple A Task, Please, Google

If Google are to launch a To-Do list (as reported via an eager TechCrunch reader) then I really do hope they make it as simple as possible… but with one caveat. Have some sort of folder/labels arrangement in the same way as Gmail.
The reason for this is because to make a good To-Do list application […]
