Re: Zappos Affiliates: Look out Below!

(edited) Thanks for the heads up! I just joined their affiliate program and was about to start making a few posts on my blog. I think I'll find a new merchant because them sending traffic away to another site where the cookie doesn't follow is just plain dirty.

Re: Is Social Media Marketing Sustainable?

Everett — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 10:53:21 -0000

Good blog post Brett. Is it sustainable? Only as sustainable as any other buzz-generating medium is. Television and the Internet might merge. Print might go out of fashion all-together. Sites like Digg may lose favor among internet users. Who knows... I'm no futurist, but if I had to make a bet I'd say there will always be work out there for a smart marketer with writing skills and experience creating buzz.

Re: Fridays Are For Feed Subscribers

Everett — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:04:18 -0000

Steve,

I know you're not a proponent of nofollow tags, but I often advise people to use them on the Feedburner feeds since they are basically a duplication of the feed I get when clicking on the feed icon in the URL bar (firefox) but on someone else's domain. Feeburner is great, and people should use it for many reasons, but adding a nofollow tag to that subscribe link might help out a bit.

Sorry to intrude, but I noticed you had a post up about feeds and thought I'd put in my two cents.

Re: Wikipedia NoFollow Plugin? WikiDigg?

G'day Andy,

I replied to your comment on my blog post. I have indeed seen yahoo display nofollow links using their site explorer, but I am not entriely convinced that these links count toward link popularity. I would like to get your input on this if you know of any test that were done.

By the way, Yahoo claims to support the tag, but I'm sure you've already seen this:

Re: Movie Notes: Ratatouille

I LOVED it! Me and the wife went last night (no, we don't have kids) and for once I didn't feel that the animators were insulting our intelligence. It was a truly great piece of entertainment.

I was a little disappointed with the female Chef though. Her accent was supposed to be French, but sounded like a 1/3 Latino, 1/3 African America, and 1/3 rich white chick. Why couldn't they just hire a 'real' French person to do the voice instead of Janeane Garofalo ?

Re: Movie Notes: Diamond Head

I lived on Oahu for about three years before settling down in Chile. I can see how it was once a great place, and it is still 'special' in many ways to this day. But between the concrete jungles, congested highways, bloated real estate prices, methamphetimine abuse, and annoying tourists - I don't think I could ever live there again.

South America is like Hawaii but instead of paying 2-million for a three-bedroom bungalo near Pearl City, you can get a giant beach mansion for under $500 k.

With that said, there will always be things about Hawaii that I miss (the uniquely 'Hawaiian' culture and pigeon dialect, my friends, when the Pali highway opens up to the valley and sea...) so it will always have a special place in my heart.

Long story short, I'm going to go rent this movie. Maybe it will bring back some memories.

Congratulations!

I'll give you a hand and add you on Technorati now as well, although I subscribe via bloglines...

Re: Fighting My Worst Addiction: Smoking

I tried quiting for ten years before finally succeeding after reading a book called "How to Quit Smoking The Easy Way". I know it sounds cheesy, but it helped me reprogram the way I think about smoking. God forbid you ever start again, but if you do you should check out that book.

Re: This Is Why I No Longer Watch the FOX

Everett — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 10:27:43 -0000

Why you "no longer" watch FOX? I stopped watching fox about five years ago. It's been a complete farce for a long time now. But I don't like Kieth Olberman any better. These "news" programs are splitting my country apart and turning into an us-verse-them battle. It's not about Republicans or Democrats. It's about people with all shades of gray to their beliefs.

Re: Tool Time Friday | Are you ready to Sprout?

Everett — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:30:05 -0000

Sweet! Someone sent a link to me for Sprout this morning but I hadn't had my coffee yet and didn't really read it. I'm glad I came across this post tonight because I now realize how powerful this could be and am going over to check it out.

Cheers,

Everett

Re: Do you know the way to San Jose?

Hey Danielle! It was nice to meet you and Chris finally at SES. I love the fact that there are so many down-to-earth, cool people in this industry. It was a pleasure talking last week and I hope to see you both again next time around.

Cheers,

Everett

Re: Google Testing Left Side Tabs?

Everett — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 23:58:50 -0000

Were you using your own laptop from the same IP? If so, perhaps your friend has an adware virus that changes the page. I have had this happen to me before. It might be somethnig you can look into if nobody else seems to be able to replicate it on a different computer. Just a thought.

Re: What If The Hokey Pokey IS What It Is All About?

In reply to Ba Humbug:

Actually, it provides a way OUT for the many millions of Americans who would like to have less impact on the environment and more alternatives for a healthy lifestyle. Companies selling LOHAS Related Products offer an alternative to these middle-class, Americans who would otherwise shop at Wal-Mart or Target.

Do you honestly think environmentalism is going to spread across the world before it gets too late without the help of capitalism? A middle-class American soccer mom isn't going to be persuaded to sell her SUV and install solar panels on her condo roof by some Grateful Dead T-shirt wearing college student. But if all of her friends "at yoga" are doing it, then it suddenly becomes something she wants to do as well.

And what's wrong with that? That's GREAT! That's what environmentalists have been working on all these years!

But people like you don't really want to save the planet. No, you just want to be an elitist hypocrite.

Re: Inc.com's "Green 50" Companies List

I am surprised by the exclusion of Gaiam from this list. At the least, I would have expected to see Real Goods on there.

Re: How To Green Your Wedding

Everett — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 13:25:05 -0000

You forgot the http:// on a lot of those links and it takes me to your error page because it thinks the links are a relative path inside your own website. Add http:// to all links and this will not happen. I tried clicking on the link to www.Gaiam.com and got an error.

editor note: Should be fixed now. Thanks.

David - advertorial or not, I'm glad to see Treehugger rewarding their readers with exclusive deals and coupons. Who doesn't like to save a bit of $$$ now than then on their shopping?
