Thoughts From An Introverted Entrepreneur
For those of you that have not heard yet, yesterday (February 24th) was the big kick-off for Entrepreneurship Week USA.
I had not really heard about this event before, but it has been brought up on a number of blogs that I read, so I thought I’d go check it out. As a passionate, but introverted advocate of entrepreneurship, I thought I’d look into the event and what it means.

Blogging
The user-friendliness of blogging software has made it easy for anyone who would like to communicate with the world to do so. That explains a large part of the millions and millions of blogs that now populate the blogosphere. Others who see the moneymaking potential of blogging by adding advertisements to their blogs add to the flood. Given this cacophony, how does anyone with a serious view to express ensure that it stands above the crowd?
Google Earth and KML: The Searchability of Everything
Some sympathy here for Tim O’Reilly’s comment on this post about Google Earth and the new capabilities being unleashed for developers. "People should be jumping up and down about this!"

MyBlogLog Does What’s Right
The MyBlogLog Blog: Everybody hurts… sometimes So I’ve kind of watched from the sidelines the past few days as this MyBlogLog drama has unfolded. I’d joined MyBlogLog in the past after reading about it on Fred Wilson’s blog but never seemed to really get into it. Maybe I just need to spend more time with it to figure it out, but anyways.
Extending Google Office w/ Plug-in API
Wouldn’t it be neat if Google offered developers a way to write scripts to extend the functionality of Google Writely, Google Spreadsheets, Gmail and so on?
Turn Your Blog into a Widget
I love it when developers come out with cool, fun stuff and what is more fun than a “widget.” I mean, even the name connotes fun.
No one can deny that the web is being widgetized. That is particularly true of blogs. Typepad has dozens of them, as does WordPress.

The beauty of this idea is that it allows your content to be syndicated on other blogs.
MS AdCenter Bug Makes Advertisers Pay Huge Sums
A major Microsoft AdCenter bug costs advertisers to shell out huge amounts. This bug makes the advertisers may a blasting amount as compared to what they have bid for.
A Webmasterworld thread addressing the same issue has tremendous amount of posts where affected advertisers have addressed the situation.
My daily spend increased almost 10-fold from $140 to over $1350 yesterday!
Getting Links from Authoritative Sites
A recent post on Search Engine Watch informs about 11 Guidelines for Getting Authoritative Links. Authoritative links ensures value to web promotion strategy. It is obvious that search engine will give preference as well as value to out bound links from authoritative sites.
Speedy Content Changes in Any Language
In the past, we’ve urged marketers to do it wrong quickly. But how can you make quick content changes when you have to translate into other languages? For global companies, translating their content into other languages can be a time-consuming process that delays the launch of new pages and campaigns. So, exactly how do you speed up your ability to change content when you have to do all that translating at the end?
