NameCheap Super Weekend Twitter Contest

David — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 08:49:55 +0000

NameCheap is at it again. This time the Namecheap Twitter Trivia Contest is set for 2 days only, this Super Bowl weekend. As usual the hourly prizes are credits to purchase Domain Name Registrations. However, the main prize this time will be a new Apple iPad.

The guys at NameCheap keep refining their game and the new twist is that the questions will not be each hour at the top of the hour but will instead be asked at random times during the hour.

Follow @NameCheap on Twitter to play.

Cayman Islands Earthquake

David — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:29:50 +0000

A 5.8 magnitude earthquake hit the Cayman Islands on Tuesday. And almost immediately people are trying to create their own theory on all the earthquakes recently. Yes, it could be the end times as described in the Book of Revelation in the Holy Bible, and yes, it could have something to do with Global Warming.

How about, all the above?

Our planet is not getting any younger, and sooner or later there is going to be an end to the times.

Once Again, Meta Keywords not used by Google

David — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:05:56 +0000

I thought this topic was closed a long time ago. Google does not use the Meta Keywords! This has been discussed for years, not sure why only now people are finally listening, probably because we now have Twitter and better ways of getting the information out.

Is Google Wave Next?

15 or so years ago everyone started surfing, then they started blogging, and of course next came being social.

The last couple years we have seen a massive growth in everyone Twittering….

Next up, get ready for everyone to be Waving.

Prediction is that Google Wave will become the next big thing on the net!

Seems there are not very many choices for micro blogging these days. Basically Twitter remains the only viable choice for micro blogging that has any chance of having a decent audience.

The Mobile Inauguration

Barack Obama’s Inauguration will be the Mobile Inauguation. Most mobile carriers are estimating record number of text messages being sent on Inauguration day.

Wonder what the chance of micro blogging and social networks being overloaded is?

My money is on Twitter being overloaded and shut down at some point during the day.

Google Droppng Jaiku?

David — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:48:04 +0000

If this rumor is true, looks like Twitter will emerge the victor in the Micro Blogging sector. And no I am not discounting Tumblr and a few others, but in the real sense of Micro Blogging there were only three sites, Twitter, Jaiku and Pownce.

The reason I said rumor is that I have yet to see an official release from Google stating that Jaiku is dead.

AT&T Spams Their Own Customers for American Idol

David — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:11:21 +0000

In a very strange move, AT&T spammed their OWN network with an advertisement for the American Idol television show, for which AT&T is a sponsor.

What were they thinking?

In this tough economy it seems nothing will be beyond the attempt of a company to draw customers, and that in itself could lead to an even more downward spiral for some companies.

Autonet Mobile

Autonet Mobile looks like a pretty good solution to providing in car Wifi Internet access.

The problem I have is I need this technology a few times a year, not worth the cost to purchase an Air Card or Autonet Mobile service.

Maybe Autonet Mobile or another company will come up with a Wifi Rental Plan !
