StumbleUpon Paid Ads Feedback
I have been using StumbleUpon’s Paid Ads for a few weeks now, and have some feedback.
Biggest thing: Budgets
Right now you can set a daily budget for all your ads, which seems cool but is really ineffective. This is compounded by some of the problems below and I will get into those. Yes I know you [...]
Need a Car? Got $1,000?
Just launched a new site that finds you cars for $1,000 or less, all makes and models. Good for collectors looking for restoration projects, or for someone who needs some inexpensive transportation.
CarsForAGrand.com
Check it out, comment here. Thanks!
Yes, I got the idea from Shoemoney and his Below a Buck site, but he lags. Took him 2 [...]
Finally on Pownce
I finally made it to Pownce, check out my profile here. Seems pretty cool so far, I will probably post more thoughts here later.
Let me know if you need invites, I have a bunch.
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 [...]
Mint is pretty Web 0.1

Looks pretty cool, kind of like Wells Fargo’s old One Look service (yeah shoemoney said the same thing) in their site that showed you what you were blowing spending your money on. Pretty cool, except when I tried it it told me it couldn’t connect to [...]

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
Hey friends of mine! If you have a second, scoot over to restaurants.yumm.com and do some poking around. We are far from an official launch but are at a stage where we could use some user feedback. Play around, try and break stuff, and INTERACT, please. You can leave feedback here in comments or email [...]

Our story on Pirate Bay’s new plans for a video streaming site made both Digg and Slashdot in 3 days… Go Jared!
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 [...]
