  • Google PageRank Penalties For Network Blogs

    It appears this morning that Google has issued pagerank penalties on network blogs. This was first brought to my attention by Darren over on his blog who saw his blog drop from a pagerank 7 to a pagerank 4. Interestingly, Problogger.com is a solid pagerank 6 and it redirects to problgger.net, so I don’t know…

  • The Pervasive Web

    A lot of people have begun speculating about Web 3.0. I don’t want to even go there. Some folks have been calling it the “semantic web” which refers to the more tightly integrated ability to find information in a manageable way. That’s probably not a great definition either. But what the heck, I don’t agree…

  • Sweet Caroline

    Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I AM in the mood this week for Red Sox baseball. And my posts likely will get polluted with Red Sox “stuff” this week. Forgive me. If you think this is bad, read my Twitter feed during gametime. ;-) Sweet Caroline, the Red Sox Nation national anthem. At Fenway. Enjoy.

  • Stocks Surge on Red Sox Victory

    Stability has returned to Wall Street after Friday’s 300 point drop.

  • From Hell to Heaven?

    Remember Dell Hell? Jeff Jarvis used the BuzzMachine to slam Dell for his horrific customer experience buying a laptop two years ago. This series of posts epitomized growing dissent against the company, and served as a channel to punish the Texas computer maker for bad products and customer service experiences. A lot has changed since…

  • Controlling My Brand

    Awhile ago, Chris Brogan wrote a list of 100 Blog Topics he would like to see. When I read those, I started drafts on three of the topics and determined that I would mull them over for awhile and when I felt like I had something worthwhile to say, I’d contribute my thoughts on those…
