Star Tours – Darth Vader Goes to Disneyland

August 10, 2011

I saw this posted recently on Google+  (you know… the other social media network that you should be using) and loved it so much that I tweeted (yes, yet another social network that is better than what you’re probably using) it… but to those people who are stuck in the Facebook era… assuming that you [...]

Blog Monetization Strategies

August 8, 2011

I’ve recently stepped up my efforts to earn a little money from my online efforts.  You’ve probably noticed some changes on this blog, as well as a couple of the others that I’m working on.  Things are going well…  At this rate, I’ve calculated my retirement year to be 2158.  No, that’s not a typo.

Social Network Showdown: MySpace, Facebook, Google+

July 13, 2011

Somehow I completely missed the announcement that Justin Timberlake had purchased a majority stake in MySpace, the all but forgotten social network of yesteryear.  I guess that I must have been more interested in planning my Canada Day weekend, because I was shocked to find out that news very recently.  So shocked that I wasn’t [...]

When I created my niche site for overcoming relationship difficulties, one of the things that I learned was to focus on natural search engine rankings by creating quality back-links to the site.  This will help push your site further up the listing in a search engine query, and greatly increase the chances of someone clicking your [...]

Mashable reports that 150,000 Gmail accounts were accidentally reset, wiping out all the email, attachments, and chat logs associated with those accounts, and replacing them with the friendly “Welcome to Gmail” screen you see when you open a new account… Oopps… We’re [...]

Build It And They Will (not) Come…

February 19, 2011

Rather than go completely stir-crazy in bed, I’ve been spending some of my time working on Write-Click projects.  Seems like a better use of my time than watching episode after episode of TV shows.  Don’t get me wrong… I’m still watching some (when my roomie isn’t hogging the TV for his Football game… zzzzzzzzzzzz) but [...]

Google Strikes Again

September 15, 2010

Google Adsense does not like small blogs!  Plain and simple.  It amazes me that there is no real alternative to Adsense.  Yes, if you search for alternatives, you will find some… but none of these are as good as Google claims to be (on paper).  I dabbled with AdBrite last year, and I might end [...]

Talk Talk (Google vs Skype)

September 11, 2010

So Google now allows you to make voice calls through Gmail… putting it in direct competition with Skype. That’s not exactly news, but I’ve been slow getting around to writing about it. Some people may have noticed the inclusion of Skype buttons along the side of the blog. They don’t seem to be accurately showing [...]
