Re: Thoughts On Writing Timeless Posts And Post Bylines

I think moving the byline with date to the bottom is a good move for any blog that isn't focused on providing news. I'll probably switch to this on my blogs, haven't had much time to blog lately though, working on building a couple products. Good post.

The white girs head on the black girls body cleaving fish heads is especially funny. Great post.

"Even googling on Bing is easy." That's funny :).

Twitter is such a bizarre thing. Simple=best gone wild.

Re: Mashable Mind Map: What is the Future of Blogging?

TrafficBlogger — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 01:20:36 -0000

"Another possibility is that blogs become social networks of their own." Blogs are already social networks of their own - they allow comments from users, some have user profiles, forums, what more do you need to have a social network?

Blogging is just content publishing. Content publishing isn't going anywhere, especially in 300 to 1000 words +pictures/videos form. The only evolving I see blogs doing is further integrating with the big social networks so they can keep getting more and more traffic from them, and more more commenting features. Blogs, websites that get updated frequently, whatever you want to call them, are here to say.

I think simple and basic work because they have the largest potential audience. In each market, the 'beginners' group is always the largest segment, usually over 50% of the market. Good post.

One of the most important aspects of a business is its name. It gives people their first impression of your business, and has a major effect your advertising campaigns.
Good post.

Just need to consider carefully who you add to your blog roll and exchange links with in that way. If is a site you don't think will be around much longer than a year or so, you might consider not going through with it. Good post.

And the fall of web 2.0 to more efficient web 2.0 like twitter. Digg helped with the fall of print media, and now its falling to even new technologies. Oh the internets.

Yea I bet they wish they had sold before they lost the case, but I'm pretty sure they though they were going to win. 8 mil is definitely nice for sure.

Good post. I think many of us have a problem with giving up on an idea right before we actually start seeing results from it. And there is the problem of always jumping to the newest idea before finishing work on old plans. Following though is important.

Its nice that hosting and buying domain names is so cheap and easy these days. It would be weird if domain names were like $100 per year or more. Good post, I've had good experiences with GoDaddy, but these days my sites are hosted with DreamHost(I like their custom control panel, and their affiliate program is good).

Re: Facebook Readies Rival to Twitter Search

TrafficBlogger — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 02:37:22 -0000

They have such a giant audience, that if they make a good search engine(keyword, good), their users will use it like crazy.

I'm glad to see another major competitor entering the search market.

Re: 25 Creative Ways To Reuse And Recycle Content

Removing featured articles from the homepage and having lots of teasers is a good idea. Gives visitors lots of options. When I write some more article's I'll be converting to that.

Good to see stuff like this happening. America needs clean fuel(highly efficient solar), and healthcare, asap!

Re: Super Rewards CEO: Twitter Is Run by Hippies [Corrected]

TrafficBlogger — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:17:07 -0000

Yea, if they could think of a good way to monetize it, they would do it, but there just isn't a good way. In the last few years, don't you think myspace and facebook have probably thought of every possible way to monetize, yet all they have thought of is ads, and they both don't make money as their traffic just isn't targeted enough(as opposed to search engines where people go to find solutions to their problems and thus are much more prone to buy). All this talk about waiting for the right moment and their ambitions being so big and such is a bunch of junk. if they could figure out a way to make good money they would launch it immediately.

Twitter still hasn't passed the 'fad' phase yet in my opinion. Their user retention rate is very low, and they offer so much less than facebook/myspaec. I don't really see how they could add many features either without becoming just another copycat social network.

Companies, and internet marketers, love twitter. But I think casual users of it will get bored with it quick and go back to good old facebook.

Google Wave is probably going to hurt twitter too, sure tweets will be fed into google wave, but twitter ads won't be(or however they decide to monetize, but theres a 99% chance I'd say that it will end up being ads).

Oh joy another video aggregator. What won't they think of next.

Re: “Facebook: The Movie” Enters Production This Year

TrafficBlogger — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:49:15 -0000

Way too soon.

Facebook is a story of a guy who copied myspace but made a much better more elegant engine, targeted the college student demographic, and his company still isn't making any money each year (they are actually losing a lot since social networks are hard to monetize, myspace just laid off a bunch of people).

Running out of movie ideas.
