Every once in a while, I like to remind people of one simple truth. “Bloggers can be wrong, many are, and most things on the Internet are wrong.” (Hm, what a paradox, because if you take that line to heart, then I could be wrong)
I’ve noticed that many bloggers, come off with an attitude, of “I’m always right, don’t question my authoritay”. But, truth be told, that’s not usually the case.
Recently, I’ve been writing a lot about sites like digg and plurk. They’ve been titled Social Media, except that’s a little misleading.
Truth is that Plurk and Twitter’s main purpose isn’t sharing media, but more building connections and sharing ideas, along with media. To be more true to what they’re meant to do, I consider them Social Sharing sites.

We all already know the power of blogs. So, I won’t waste your time and tell you how you have the power to control the public discourse, champion change, or be the bearer of goodwill.

Looks like Spam E-mailers have learned to play off people’s fears, and are using the technique to increase how many people open their emails.
The best spam email I’ve gotten…

Here I am talking about Jason Calacanis of Mahalo again, and how he spoke against SEO. Yes, he got me with his linkbait, but not in the way he got everyone else. Instead of writing another post about how he was write or how someone was wrong I want to explore the impact on reputation that controversial linkbait has. When Calacanis spoke about the soon…
There’s been a lot of talk about Web 3.0 lately, and I think it’s important that we take a step back and consider that maybe we’ve skipped a step. Web 2.0 has definitely changed, so where are we right now and what’s going to happen in the near future?
When social networks sites launched like a firestorm, we heralded the age of Web 2.0 and basked…
Monday morning I made sure to head over to the bookstore and get my own copy of Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett’s “ProBlogger - Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income. I have to admit I was wary at first, figuring that a majority of the information in the book I probably could’ve gotten for free on the Internet, but I was sorely…
Sounds like the Microsoft and Yahoo deal is not going to take place after all. Microsoft went up to $33 but Yahoo refused to move from their $37 per share mark. I found these developments to be interesting, and unexpected. I guess my false hopes of a merger and potential for something good to come from it were misguided.
