It appears Mr Scot Smith from RSSxplosion.com is now trying to compete with himself for the stupid cow of the month award. Just after we said that it would be hard to top his stupidity, he proves us wrong with yet another email. This time it’s a receipt that states that we’ve ordered 12,000 […]

So much for a quiet Sunday. Waking up, drinking 2 liters of water to cure the hangover we’re suffering right now, we switched on our sexy iMac and went through our emails. Between the tons of daily fanmail and marriage proposals, we found a rather odd email from someone with the email address halcyon5@gmail.com […]

Last night Blog World held their opening party at the Joint at the Hard Rock hotel. It was a good way for everyone to sit back, have a drink, eat some food and get to know each other. After all, the networking aspect is one of the big reasons why bloggers are here.

So what do you get when you take a fake cownapper with a nonthentic* (*new word) ransom note, a ridiculous demand and add an (international) audience to it?

When Shoemoney challenged me to a competition to see who can get the most new RSS readers in a month, I thought it was a great opportunity to put my Internet marketing skills to the test against one of the Internet’s best. Many people speculated that RSS readership would plummet after the competition was over […]
