« Previous EntriesWays to Network Yourself Online
Thursday, August 31st, 2006This post titled “Networking Without Walls or Boundaries” gives some insight as to how to network yourself online. It’s weird- there really aren’t boundaries to what you can do online. For instance, there are interesting bloggers all over the world that you can develop relationships with. With VOIP services like Skype, it is easier than […]
Start a Business Now- 20 Ideas, $100 Million Dollars
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Though many people have been blogging about the “Blogging for Dollars” cover story of the most recent business 2.0 magazine, I thought “The Smartest Companies to Start Now” was just as fascinating (if not more so). The B2Day mentioned the article in this post and goes on to mention the obvious (in my opinion), “Ideas […]
Umm…Lay-Offs Via E-mail?
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006
You’ve got to be kidding me. RadioShack laid off 400 people by, well, sending an E-MAIL! Thankfully, I’ve never personally experienced a lay-off before, but I can only imagine what that does to someone’s confidence. To make matters worse, imagine you learned that your boss didn’t even have time to tell you personally. Senior Managers out there: […]
Web 2.0 Podcast with Tim O’Reilly
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Web Design Resources has a great podcast with Tim O’Reilly, who is almost always referenced when speaking about Web 2.0.
“Fail fast, scale fast” is something you Web 2.0 developers reading this know a bit about.
For those of you interesting in learning more from Tim O’Reilly, there is a great interview here or you can check his […]
Reasons to Blog
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006I’ve touched on the subject before here and here, but an interesting post on Mike’s Points called “Blogging beyond your richest dreams” brings me to the subject of reasons to blog again. I definitely find myself in Mike’s camp on a couple of points:
“I blog because it makes me think more“- blogging allows me to write and […]
Is Growing a Business Easy?
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006
I got to thinking a little more about what I learned by watching the Startup Success 2006 video and came across this post on the SportsLizard Entrepreneur Blog that says,
It also seems to me that you don’t need hardly any money at all to grow your business. That means that as a YE, you and I […]
20 Great Resources for Entrepreneurship
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006This post is a couple weeks old, but I doubt ALL you entrepreneurs out there have seen it, so take a look if you are looking for tips and tricks to success. There are some great blogs such as Small Business Branding and Steve Pavlina’s Blog on the list of resources.
Top 10 Small Business Blogs
Monday, August 28th, 2006Here’s 10 interesting small business blogs to take a look at if you’re interested. It’s even got a video summarizing each blog. Personally- I’d rather just read about them, but the choice is yours!
Google-eBay Advertising Partnership
Monday, August 28th, 2006The Google-eBay partnership that was announced today is certainly big news in online advertising. eBay has a ton of international traffic to monetize and it gives Google a great way to build a massive amount of inventory that foreign advertisers are interested in. Google is going to dominate internet advertising if it continues to strike deals […]
It’s not about the Money?
Sunday, August 27th, 2006In an e-mail interview published on gapingvoid, Seth Godin answered a series of questions. The response to one really caught my attention. When asked what motivates him to increase his workload, Seth answered by saying this:
ANSWER: It’s not a workload! Look, there are 8 million millionaires in the USA. Why do these people go to […]
Myspace in Print?
Sunday, August 27th, 2006This post got me thinking about a possible myspace magazine that was mentioned in an Adage article. I’ve certainly bashed myspace before, but this might not turn out to be a bashing because a print edition of myspace just might work. It begs the question- will you read a myspace magazine if they come out with […]
Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco
Sunday, August 27th, 2006The Web 2.0 Conference is taking place November 7-9 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. It looks to have a great selection of influential speakers including Kevin Rose from digg, Jeff Bezos from Amazon, John Batelle, and Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook.
The most interesting topic that I see on the conference topic list? Defining Web 3.0: What’s […]
Red Hot Chili Peppers Tickets Gone
Sunday, August 27th, 2006Well, I received a very thoughtful e-mail from Marie, so the tickets are now given away. In respect for not sharing personal information, I won’t give any details about what her e-mail contained. I would like to say that I really wish I had more tickets to give out- I got some wonderful e-mails and […]
(Almost) Free Tickets to Red Hot Chili Peppers in Fresno Tomorrow
Saturday, August 26th, 2006I’m a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan (can’t even tell you how many times I’ve listened to their newest album), and I bought tickets to the Fresno show a little prematurely a couple months ago. Turns out I couldn’t make it down to Cali from the great Pacific Northwest. I tried using StubHub and […]
Blogging for Dollars
Saturday, August 26th, 2006The most recent Business 2.0 magazine’s cover story was “Blogging for Dollars” that I feel will bring even more entrepreneurs into the blogging space. Feel free to read the online version if you aren’t a subscriber. There are already massive amounts of people entering the blogging space without a business 2.0 article mentioning the blogging […]

I Laugh Too…
Friday, August 25th, 2006This is just a random find that I happened to come across- but it’s worth a look for a quick laugh.
Blogging - Will it Merge with Social Networking Completely?
Friday, August 25th, 2006I woke up early and can’t go back to sleep, so I guess I’ll finish my thoughts on a very interesting subject- the possible blogging/social networking merger. Blogging and social networking certainly have similarities- they involve connecting people with each other in a large way. I’ve had this topic in a draft form for a couple […]
Why Niche Social Networks Will NOT Fail
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006I have to strongly disagree with this post written by Paul Drago on Ethos Planning (and no, I’m not just being controversial). Paul gives 4 main points to support his argument that Niche Social Networking will Fail:
Free flow of information- information can still be free in a niche site in my opinion.
User base will thin out- […]
Microsoft and Facebook Sign Ad Deal
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006Just a quick mention that I found this morning- it appears Facebook has sold Microsoft the rights to sell ads on Facebook using Microsoft’s Adcenter. WOW- do Facebook’s biz guys ever stop working?
