Technorati and Portal Chicklets

  • 16 May, 2006

I’ve updated the Chicklet Creator with new buttons today. Now included are Technorati (add to favorites), Protopage, Pageflakes and Netvibes. I may have another new button in the works, but feel free to share any services that I’m missing. I’ve also updated the Yahoo, Rojo, Newsgator and Pluck images to come directly from those services, […]

You know what a folder is but what is a tag? For those that are just jumping into the blog world, or the Web 2.0 world for that matter, there is a new idea out there called tagging. Much like folders or categories, it’s a way of keeping things organized. Lets start out simple with […]

AllTheWeb does LiveSearch

  • 10 May, 2006

AllTheWeb, a Yahoo search engine, is now testing live search. Take a little of Google Suggest, some Ajax and of course good search results, mix them together and get LiveSearch. It gives you suggestions and results as you type. Pretty cool and fun to play with. On the down side, no Safari or Opera support […]

WordPress Feed Stats

  • 9 May, 2006

There is an amazing feature available for hosted WordPress.com blogs called Feed Stats. It tells you how many people have viewed your feed and what feed readers were used. The bad part? It’s only for WordPress.com blogs. See a great review of Feed Stats. I’m hoping that the feed stats feature makes it into all […]

What’s wrong with Blog Search?!

There are some great blog search engines out there today like Technorati, Google Blog Search and Sphere. However, they all have the same flaw; they don’t block spam blogs. Not one of the three blog search engines listed above do a very good job, if any job at all, of blocking blog spam. Do a […]

I’ve been social booking sites for a while now. I started with Furl and have tried many different services. Spurl is my favorite, however, del.icio.us seems to be the site of choice in the mainstream. Now I say mainstream loosely as social bookmarking is not known or understood my many, however those that do know […]

Back from PubCon

  • 21 Apr, 2006

I’ve made it home from my first PubCon.  It was great to go out, learn new things and network.  I really think that having the networking time at the end is a great way to close a conference.  It really gives people a chance to get together and ask any questions they have or just […]

The second day of PubCon went very well.  It started off with Matt Cutts (Google), Robert Scoble (MSN) and Jeremy Zawodny (Yahoo) talking about their blogs.  How they love the feedback and the human effect it adds to their companies.  They even talked about the […]
