Top 10 Signs That You’re a Social Media Douchebag

Feb 24, 2010 | 6 Comments

Listen. I don’t have a problem with the world of “social media.” I have a problem with the carpetbaggers inside of it.

Google’s FeedBurner Problems on the FrontBurner: You’re SOL

Jan 22, 2009 | 17 Comments

I held off on transferring my feeds to FeedBurner, but was eventually convinced that it was going to help more than hurt. Today, I’m strongly considering taking my feeds back – out of the hands of FeedBurner / Google. I’m definitely not the only one who is discontent with FeedBurner’s service. There have been several [...]

Okay, bLaugh is up and running – including a great gag on the Friendster patent today. I’ve been using FeedBurner to manage the feed, which has (for the most part) been a good experience.

Happy TagJag’ed Publishers

Jul 3, 2006 | 2 Comments

Until a few more legal loopholes get closed, I won’t be able to expand much further upon the whole “I’m offering you a stake in TagJag” concept; I’d rather underpromise and overdeliver on this idea. I’m on the lookout for some kind of hip lawyer who can help us get it wrapped up. It’s a [...]

Jun 29, 2006 | 4 Comments

I’ve had a few people ask me what to tag their posts as for Gnomedex. I say (and have always said) just tag things “Gnomedex” and leave it at that. If you wanna get fancy, you can also do Gnomedex6, Gnomedex06, Gnomedex2006, or SirNotAppearingInThisFilm. For maximum flash efficiency, stick with “Gnomedex” and call it a [...]

However, it’s not always as efficient as a single feed. So, Shayne whipped out a 400-line script to convert OPML to [...]
