Bloggers Are So Wrong About Media
Sunday, January 15th, 2006Bloggers Are So Wrong About Media I’m interested in health and wellness. Where do I go to find the best blogs on this topic? Technorati? Even in the very unlikely event I’ve heard of Technorati (the name is so off putting), a search of Health and Wellness produces a list of random blog posts, including many in Asian languages. That is what vertical blog aggregation/news collection services are becoming so popular. Blogs and blogging were part of evolution of media 1.0, tags, aggregation and memeorandum are a notch above (web 2.0?). Blogs are not the end-all for traditional media, but I dislike the fact that doom-sayers look at a possible problem and never turn to look at possible solutions. Why can’t traditional media and popular dynamic media complement each other?
Gather.com - like eBay for Bloggers
Sunday, January 15th, 2006Gather.com - like eBay for Bloggers: Gather.com, positions itself as a kind of eBay for online writers and their readers — a gathering spot for musings and discussions on everything from wine and computers to fitness and spirituality. And, with a business model that could shake up the writing profession, executives from Gather Inc. are recruiting bloggers by offering them a share of the company’s advertising revenue. Slightly altered versions of this business model seems to have gathered quite a bit of steam recently.
Increasing AdSense Revenue on Forums
Friday, January 13th, 2006Increasing AdSense Revenue on Forums: I can attest that not displaying ads on entry pages work better for the bottom line. I wish there were some further (publicly published) metrics on tweaking Adsense revenue. If there are links that are pertinent/experiences that work for people, please leave a comment.
Writely - The Web Word Processor
Thursday, January 12th, 2006Writely - The Web Word Processor: Though this app is trying to find a niche, I find little use for it outside of the corporate arena (reminds me of Exchange Public Folders on steroids). However, the remotely hosted nature might deter those corporate souls. This app will let you create/edit your word processing documents online while sharing it with a bunch of people. Neat features include simultaneous editing, MS Word/Open Office integeration, RSS feeds for public documents etc. The service is free.
