Re: Read any News Paper Online with Newseum

Wow, very cool. I always loved going to the library and looking at other papers across the country. I can't wait until the day we can see archives of all of these papers.

AdobeAir is obviously becoming the biggest player in Online/Offline apps, which is likely the future of our PCs. Everything going online, but still needing some type of offline format.

Re: What Online Service Or Site Couldn’t You Live Without?

For a while it was Digg honestly. I do use e-mail a lot, but I use my cell phone as a texting/communication device more and more.

I would say e-mail followed by Google Reader presently.

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Make From Text Link Ads?

TheFix — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 14:21:54 -0000

You guys always talk about adjusting your price of TLA. Mine was set by them. Do I have to change my approval setting in order to adjust my price?

@D&J and Everton

Thanks guys, I'm somewhat frustrated with TLA right now just due to the fact that I wasn't even in their catalog for appoxiamately six months without any notice. They finally got me back in at $30/month, but I'm still waiting for my first offer.

I'm getting reasonable traffic, but I think I just need my PR to just get that extra boost.

Re: Gorgeous Dual Monitor Wallpapers

TheFix — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 14:16:37 -0000

You do have to pay for it, but UltraMon is the BEST dual screen application out there. It allows you to display a taskbar on both screens, along with displaying a different background on both, like you want.

Re: Create Your Online Database Applications In Minutes With Zoho Creator 2.0

TheFix — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 13:26:44 -0000

Very cool. I probably wouldn't necessarily use something like that on my site, but I definitely have other sites that might need all contacts by e-mail stored in a database.

Re: Defensio Anti-Spam Plugin – Anyone On The Beta?

Claims is the big word here Ev. How is this plugin getting so much hype? Their website tells you nothing.

It sucks when great concepts like this resort to long domain names, as opposed to something that would have been a little more catchy like petpeeve DOT com.

Re: How To Customize GMail’s Functionality And Look

TheFix — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 14:05:33 -0000

Better GMail is an excellent skin, but I've resorted back to the Old Style. It's just as good and doesn't slow it down.

Re: Facebook Traffic Has Grown By 500% Last Six Months In UK

TheFix — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 10:28:31 -0000

Facebook seems to be far superior to any of the other social networks out there. I really think they will take the lead with users in the next couple of years.

Re: 47 Computer WoW Setup

TheFix — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 10:15:44 -0000

Yeah, looks like some type of money making scheme to me. That's probably how he/she afforded a setup like that.

Re: FIFA Soccer 2008 – Sneak Peeks And Interview

TheFix — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 10:18:54 -0000

I do love the Fifa games, but I typically only end up playing them around World Cup time. That's when I'm the most fired up about them.

Re: What Would You Do If You Inherited A Celeb’s Mobile Number?

TheFix — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 10:23:29 -0000

I think at this point and time, Paris's would be the phone # to have. She gets paid to just show up and drink wherever she goes and gets praised for it...WTF

Re: Facebook Traffic Has Grown By 500% Last Six Months In UK

TheFix — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 10:26:38 -0000

Just saw on Digg yesterday the possibility of making an IPO. Could you imagine Facebook being publicly traded? I'd jump on the financial bandwagon.

Re: Can Someone Do Me A Quick Favour Please

Very cool Everton. I've always thought about adding something similar, but sometimes find it annoying. Let me know how it works out.

Re: July Mid-Term Traffic & Earnings Report – Are You Winning Or Losing?

TheFix — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:22:02 -0000

Everton,

Question regarding TLA. Do you do your own approving? I cannot get any offers from them? Is a PR of 5+ that important?

Re: New Design Experiment

TheFix — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:25:50 -0000

I'm interested to see how it pans out EB. I think some users find these more annoying then anything. I personally don't mind.

Re: A Legitmate DRM-Free Music Service – By Amazon?

TheFix — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 20:45:57 -0000

As much as I hope this is going to work, I think it will only hurt the music industry that much more. Now there are going to be a lot more family, roommates and friends sharing their songs amongst CDs and MP3 players. Let's hope this is future while musicians can still pump out music and make decent enough money.

They will never make what they used to, but either ways it's still a boat load.

Re: The Format War: Blu Ray Vs. HD DVD, Part 2

TheFix — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 08:20:38 -0000

I must admit. The HD war has gotten a lot futher then I ever thought it would. I still don't think that high def DVDs are ever going to take off like standard DVDs have had. A majority of consumers out there already think that DVDs are in HD, so placing the high definition version on the shelf only confuse them that much more.

Re: PlentyOfFish.com – One Man + One Language + Three Servers = Multi-Millionaire

TheFix — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:32:40 -0000

Well, I honestly don't think he has to support it all that much. He's got it running so stable and so simple, that he never has to deal with problems of any kind.

Re: PlentyOfFish.com – One Man + One Language + Three Servers = Multi-Millionaire

TheFix — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:47:50 -0000

He is true inspiration for many of us, I heard about this guy from John Chow some time back

Yeah, I know I'm not the first one to write about this. He even inspired me to try my won free dating site. There are plenty of scripts out there for creating a dating site. The problem is getting it viral. You do need some time in the beginning, definitely more then 2hrs/day.

Re: A Legitmate DRM-Free Music Service – By Amazon?

TheFix — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:55:37 -0000

Was just reading about the watermarking that they are applying to the music. This was inevitable.

Wow, I knew these types of programs were on the horizon, but didn't know that they were already being released to the public. Mojopac looks absolutely awesome.

Re: PlentyOfFish.com – One Man + One Language + Three Servers = Multi-Millionaire

TheFix — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 10:18:47 -0000

He is just another inspiration for us all. I would not say I am jealous, more like envious. But then again I am envious of this site too if it makes 10k a month.

So, true, why do you think I wanted to join Everton's team so bad. He's really the only reason I got back into blogging.

Re: Blogger Cribs: Daniel Scocco!!

Doesn't spend money on much of anything huh? Sounds like he's pretty dedicated to the blog.

Great read.....may have to try to do this to make a few $$$ on the side.

Re: GoWeb20 Directory: Find The Best Of Web 2.0

TheFix — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 08:36:14 -0000

there are some more web2.0 collection sites like it.

Throw some idea back at us. I really think this is one of better ones on the web.

Re: GoWeb20 Directory: Find The Best Of Web 2.0

TheFix — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 16:43:18 -0000

Hey Tim, if I call my 2.0 from now on, do you think I can make it in that directory?

I would respond to Orli Yakuel if you can. I would let you in. ;)

Hmmm...still on the edge about the new theme Everton. I think it looks pretty sweet, but I'm still so biased to your present TypoXP theme.

Agreed, let's hope this our musical future. I just wrote about it over at CI too. Finally a reason for me to go the Apple route for MP3 players.

Re: New Improved Mobile Interface for Gmail

I love the fact that a Verizon advertisement is on the same page as this. Verizon's phones are so locked down, you can't even touch the phone. I know, because I've owned one for years.

Duhh....I'm surprised it took this long for Apple to actually make a statement.
