DISQUS

Given general the quality of mail which comes from Aweber (out of the two dozen I am subscribed to if the Aweber subscriptions disappeared forever the only one I might miss is Perry Marshall), I can hardly blame them. I'm surprised that Aweber manages to stay white listed in as many places as it is.

As anglo-saxon marketers we are totally blind now as to what spam smells like.

We need the Poles or other Europeans to tell us.

Very, very good points here, Charles.

In real life, information does diffuse passively. But handing it over to an online entity seems madness.

But by refusing to participate, we become excluded.

It looks like it's time for the alter egos of the 50's again.

We all have to have fine lawns and buy the latest car and be happy in our jobs.

In that case, passive social networking won't disturb us online anymore than it disturbed our grandparents offline.

Hello Charles,

I'm very surprised to see you migrating back. I don't use Gmail although a lot of my employees do.

I still swear by Eudora, as it is totally customisable and can do anything under the sun, once you really learn it.

The sad thing is I am on an Intel Mac and Eudora 6.3.4 (the last edition) is PPC (Power PC) and Carbon. Already, the spring is out of her step and speed is no longer what it was on a native processor.

Where to move to? Another desktop client likely.

I tried both. And gave up both.

Aperture, really and truly, was just too slow on my G5 2.5GHz dual processor G5 with RAID and a Nvidia 6800 graphics card.

Lightroom was nice. But then I had to move my Lightroom library to another disk/computer. Catastrophe - left in tatters. I'm back to good old reliable and fast iView Media Pro 3.1 with Photoshop Camera Raw to develop the pictures.

Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jack,

That's a kind offer. Here's a great article on our website which didn't do too well, with all kinds of detailed valuable information: How to build a Silent Computer.

What would you suggest instead?

Here's another one which I thought would do well with the online crowd with a controversial theme: How to Avoid Fights with your Girlfriend about Work. But it died a quick death.

Any ideas what went wrong? I thought the title was fine.

Thanks Jack for the thumbs up. I hadn't decided which of several popularity plugins to try. But your recommendation helped. It's running now over at my Wordpress website.

Guys, almost any ping list will do.

Google will even pick up and index websites based on referrers.

i.e. you are designing a new website and you run a Google search after working in that browser window on that site, you are likely to be indexed within a couple of days.

If as Jack says, your host or your domain are not hot (i.e. banned).
