I recently had a shift in thinking, previous to which I would refuse to blog anything ‘big’– this, on the principle that my readers would previously find it elsewhere. No longer though.
That said, here’s this awesome video I came across a second ago. By the time you rea this, it may be across 5-10 other [...]
What made this happen? I’m going to hazard that it was:
1) Ease of registration and use
2) Call to action, i.e.: “What are you doing right now?”
3) Community interaction
I suspect it’s about time I got involved in video.
Something weird is happening here at SXSW. Videoblogging is well-represented here, but podcasts, definitely not. I don’t see any huge podcasters either on panels, or in the audience. 2007 is definitely about video, and if you’re here, you see it clear as day.

Yeah, I know– talking about web ecology one day and then dance music the next. I’m not sure what’s going on with Julien, either… but listen up.
(Thanks Pitchfork, thanks Véro!)
(Due credit: I first saw the phrase social currency on Aaron Wall’s blog, SEO Book, which is really worth a visit.)
First, listen to the audio. That’s where the meat is.
I don’t think it’s a secret that, over the past several months, my traffic has increased tremendously, and that my income has been increasingly earned online. [...]
We see them every day. We type them in when we comment. Now, this idea for combining captchas with advertising. Loic seems to like it, but personally, I am repulsed by the idea. In fact, let me phrase it as straight up as I can:
Putting an ad in your captchas is a great way to [...]
