in Pro Cycling on Twitter: 48 People Who Aren’t Lance Armstrong on Mashable - The Social Media Guide
This is a great list for the Twitter cyclists. I was already following many on the list but found some new ones. Wish I would have thought to write this article.

in Why You Might Want To Set Your Twitter Account to Private on Jesse Newhart
Great post. I posted today about twitter followers as well and why it's not a good idea to have so many. While my article wasn't on how to limit your followers you doing bring up a very good point about keeping your timeline private so you can control who follows you. This is a great tool to help filter out the spam/bots and ensure you have quality followers.

in Jeweled Ballet Flats for Evening on Shopping Blog
Those are nice. My wife (an ex-dancer) takes either used or new ballet point shoes and modifies them to resemble anything from animals to ballet figures (i.e. Nutcracker) to Disney princesses. They are really amazing. Her site is http://pointes4you.com.

in Gift Cards Become Mini Gadgets on Shopping Blog
Very creative. With finances as tight as they are I'm sure all the retailers will be pulling out all the stops during the holiday shopping season.

Great video...I should probably be doing them. Need to get a video camera first. The chair looks comfy.
Love the cow. Does it speak? Maybe a "mooo" here and there?

Haha - thanks. Glad you got the line - you're the first person to say anything about it. I often wonder how many people just think I'm an idiot. This blog clearly isn't for them.

in Cow Question - Is it Ethical, Is it Right? on John Cow dot COM
I like to consider myself an honest person and expect people to be honest with me. When they stop being honest with me I stop trusting them.
I believe the responsibility to provide information and ask questions resides with both the seller and buyer in this case. I think it's inappropriate on the seller's part to develop a mailing list using a subject not related to the overall goal of the website and to not disclose that fact to a potential buyer. At the same time, I believe it's the buyers responsibility to ask as many questions as they can. The major problem I have with this entire argument is the seller building the list and not disclosing the details of that list to the buyer unless asked. That alone, in my book, makes the whole scenario shady and makes me question the ethical, and moral, values of the seller. There is nothing to protect the buyer but the buyer's prior research, knowledge, and/or experience. Eric took my example about buying a house but I feel that should also apply here in this example. The problem is, there are no set standards or rules for the buying and selling of websites/blogs (that I know of).
Maybe there's a niche in this somewhere.

in The Big Picture - Day 2 of Cowpetition on John Cow dot COM
This is some really good info you're putting out. Thanks for taking the time to do it and for taking the time to teach us how to do it right. Too many of the MMO blogs are just recycled trash that don't help. I'm looking forward to the help.
