I wrote a bit yesterday about the day at the Blogher conference. One of the little tidbits I collected from the conference was a tool that you have if people are stealing your content. This is always a problem I have had where I find my articles on the Internet without any acknowledgement that I [...]

It was nice to actually meet one [...]
One of the most difficult and frustrating aspects of beginning a blog is finding an audience. Unless you actively seek others to trade links with, comment on ones that are popular and put a lot of effort into promoting what you’re writing, you just aren’t going to get a lot of readers and it’s always [...]
I mentioned a few days ago that we were trying out Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN) on a couple of our satellite sites to see how they compared to Google’s Adsense. While we had planned to do the experiment for the entire month, it took less than a week for us to come to some conclusions. [...]

Now I’m not usually into the celebrity gossip scene, but I thought it was interesting that one of the first things that Angela Jolie and Brad Pitt did upon deciding a name for their new child was to go out and register a bunch of name domain names including shilohjolie, shilohjoliepitt, shilohpitt, shilohnouvelpitt, shilohnouveljolie, and [...]
Concept: Use the Internet to find the cheapest gas stations by having a loyal base of users enter in the prices that they see. By knowing where the lowest price gas is available, you can save money. You can use services such as Gas Buddy or MSN Auto Gas Prices Will You Save Money?: Yes** [...]
