StumbleUpon posts get Stumbled a lot
So I was stumbling along when I was supposed to be working as usual when I stumbled on this article about getting stumbled. Whatever, I give a lot of seo/webmaster/affiliate stuff the thumbs up so that makes sense. But wait! I stumbled back into my memory (yeah I know, but its funny to me) and [...]
Yumm.com & Zeropaid Updates
Ok, so Yumm.com is somewhat live and floating around in the wild. Right now it’s just the restaurant listings section, but users can register, rate and comment on restaurants. To me, this is the most interesting part of launching a site. We are doing all the initial work with Google, submitting sitemaps, linkbuilding, etc. and [...]
Call for alpha testers

Convert any RSS Feed to an image
Finishing up the touches on a site I have been trying to get done for a while. RSS2Image.com is a site that takes an RSS feed and converts it to an image. Why, you might ask, which would be a pretty good question.
Shawn had an RSS feed on his myspace showing his latest blog [...]

Digg is Hosed
Ok, I never thought I would say this but this is an example of user-generated content gone bad. Digg’s users are freaking out over Digg’s mandatory compliance with the DMCA by obeying takedown notices, and wow are they suffering the effects. Apparently the HD-DVD drm has been broken and the simple hex code that is [...]
Download Songs from Myspace
Wow just stumbled on this cool web-based tool that captures any song off myspace and lets you save it to an mp3.. pretty slick.
