Google Taking Over the World
When Microsoft promotes its search engine and its web browser inside of its 80%+ market share operating system, that’s a violation of antitrust laws. So when Google uses its 80%+ market share search engine to promote its content, what is that?
Jason Calacanis has rightly been raising a stink about this. I was trying to link [...]
Ok, My Twitter is Cool Again
All is well with my twitter again. Sorry for shouting.
WTF is wrong with Twitter?
$20 million in funding. A head start thats like a light year long. So what excuse do you have for anyone clicking on my name in these search results? As a web professional, I would really be interested to get an answer. I would imagine $20 million and a rosy bright future would be enough [...]
Twitter Account Go BOOOOOOM
So last week I read Shoemoney’s post about his twitter account, and thought wow that’s weird. Then last night I was installing twitter tools so you all could read my awesome tweets right here on the blog. It kept giving me some error about logging in using my twitter username, chrishedgecock. I could put in [...]
Goodbye to Another Friend
Last night my friend Terrence Kiel died in a car accident. You guys might have all known him as the starting safety on the chargers from the year we went 14-2, but I knew him as the funny crazy guy who sat across the table from me at our poker games. I remember so many [...]

Like just texting from your phone, but with ads attached to your messages. Ok sorry thats a topic for another post entitled “Dumb as a rock business models and why [...]
Who Does Google Think They Are?
I love Google, but sometimes I want to tell her right where to stick it. Ok, breathe and preface: I am a internet marketer / programmer / nerd guy. By default Google is a big part of my life. For the most part, she is like most women: pay attention to her, make sure she [...]
eBay Geo-targeting in PHP
So in my post about eBay’s affiliates day I made a big deal about the crappiness of geo-targeting in javascript. I decided to be a little proactive and post some code for any eBay affiliates using PHP. This is an easy and free method to ensure your traffic is going to its highest-possible-converting destination.
Why do [...]
eBay Affiliate’s Day
Wow I haven’t been hungover like this in a while. Yesterday was eBay’s “Affiliates Day” at their annual developer’s conference in Chicago. Had a really full day starting at 8:30am, which if you know me you know is way before my workday usually starts, especially with the time change. But it was definitely worth it. [...]
