Interview with Merrick Lozano of PRLeap.com

December 14, 2006

I know everybody says it but one of the most important parts of Pubcon is the networking. I met Mario and Merrick Lozano of PRLeap and had a great time “talking shop” one night. Merrick was nice enough to do an interview and answer a few questions about himself and his company.

Looking at Search Video News

October 3, 2006

I’ll admit I’m like the people Guy Kawasaki recently talked with I don’t spend a lot of time watching TV. I watch the occasional Mythbusters, American Chopper and animal planet nature documentary, and a few TV show I run some blogs for, so we’re talking about less than 5 hours a week. Since I spend [...]

Suggestions for Improving Google Adsense Video

September 8, 2006

As I mentioned I was part of the pilot program for the MTV Google Adsense Video Beta test. I’m sure I’m not supposed to reveal the details, but I will say I pulled it down and the main reason was the low click/view rate and low payout.
Here’s a suggestion for improving the program instead of [...]

Is Digg Rigged?

September 6, 2006

I can’t imagine why some people find this an entirely shocking concept? I mean we all try to teach our children to play fair and that everybody gets an equal chance, but the sad part is once they grow up and become an adult at some point they realize it was all a lie, and [...]

Marketing Examples on MySpace

April 26, 2006

However if you are willing to dig a little deeper you can find some legitimate companies and organizations who are using MySpace. If you’re ready let’s dive [...]

Will the Real Online Demographics Please Stand Up

March 14, 2006

In the past week Google played catch-up with MSN AdCenter by offering Adwords Targeting based on demographics ( see Google AdWords Help Center: What is demographic site selection? and Targeting as a Strategy). Maybe I spent a little to much time in AOL chat rooms in my youth (yo ASL roomies), but I don’t place [...]

Clickable TV

January 28, 2006

So I finally got around to reading Brian’s article on IPTV, which tied in with something I was reading on WebmasterWorld about Dora the Explorer teaching kids to “click” on TV. Now I’ve mentioned before that I think within a few years we’re going to see an internet based TV network. Which made me start [...]

Live Blogging the Golden Globes

January 17, 2006

Is blogging. especially live blogging considered journalism? As the great Jedi Master Yoda said “Difficult to see the future is, always in motion, the blogosphere clouds everything…”. Ok well not exactly but he did say something close. The question still remains though is [...]

Internet Based TV Network

January 15, 2006

Earlier this week Google launched Google Video, a service which allows you to download and play videos. Some big time players are participating in the distribution like CBS and the NBA. While some of these videos are free many of them have a nominal download fee (currently $$3.95 or less). This puts them on a [...]

I recieved an invite to preview Newsvine.com which is a new service that allows you to read, interact and write about news stories. I knew the service was similar to Topix.net but aside from seeing a few news stories here and there I really didn’t know that much about the service.

IPod Webmaster Free Content

December 29, 2005

Since the folks over at the Yahoo Buzz Report tell us that some IPod searches are up anywhere from 187% to 646% (Yahoo! Buzz Index – Buzz Log – Apple Swallows Holiday Buzz), they came to the conclusion that lots of folks got an IPod for Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus. I’ll bet that even includes some of [...]

Washington Posts Extends Free Archives

December 23, 2005

December 19, 2005

First it was Six Apart/ Typepad going down, now bloglines is shutting down for maintenance, and del.icio.us has been down most of today. It may be true that 99.99% uptime doesn’t scale, but when these things happen to multiple independent services makes you wonder if the blogosphere really is ready for John Q. Public.

September 10, 2005

If there is a killer add-on for an Apple IPod it has to be Griffin’s ITrip(aff). For those of you who aren’t familiar with the product it’s a small piece of hardware that plugs into the top of your IPod and allows you to broadcast the sound to a stereo receiver set at the proper [...]
