Pluggd Keeps Us Plugged In

Expect to see plugs for Pluggd in the near future: they’re sponsoring our Internet connection on the cruise next week! As it stands, I’ll be checking in at least once a day from the Holland America cruiseliner - text and photos, guaranteed. I’ll post daily audio experiences as well - so long as upload speeds aren’t capped at 2400bps! Drew Olanoff made the cruise connection for us - and for that I’m damn thankful, period. Alex Castro (Pluggd CEO) and I are getting together at Caffe Vita this evening - and I’m bringing the iRiver Clix podcast recording device with me. The audio quality may not be outstanding, but at least it’ll get the job done.

[...] I’m not going on a “geek cruise,” so to speak - but my cruise time will be relatively geeked-out. There’s broadband connectivity on the designated Holland America cruise liner! I’ll be plugging away on an unplugged (wireless) connection, staying plugged into the Internet thanks to Pluggd. Yes, I offered simple sponsorship to anybody who could help us cover our connectivity costs next week - Pluggd responded. This means we’ll be able to post reports, photos, etc. directly from the high seas! alaska, alaskan cruise, cruise, cruise liner, cruise ship, holland america, ocean liner, vacation [...]

[...] THIS is How You Monetize Your Blog! August 20th, 2006 at 6:40 pm by Tony Chris Pirillo, demonstrating, in fact, that he has quite possibly the biggest, brassiest balls this side of John Dvorak, has floated out offers about sponsoring his vacation on an Alaskan Cruise he plans to take later this week, principally because the Internet connectivity is quite expensive on Holland Cruises.

Expect to hear more about our daily adventures as they unfold, although I’m not expecting to upload many videos on this journey. I’m very thankful that Pluggd stepped forward to help, as Internet access on a cruise ship is VERY expensive. This is a unique opportunity for everybody, though. While I wish you could join us on the cruise, at least we can share our experiences with the entire world without having to wait. Plus, Pluggd gets to have their name (and link) stamped on every piece of media we put online for the duration of the excursion. I’ll be posting smaller updates to my personal space, most likely extending a few of the more prolific thoughts in the Lockergnome report. [...]
