Let’s say you’re part of a blog that has more than one author. You are reading one of those blogs right now. Other examples in the category would be AllThingsD, TechCrunch, and WebWorkerDaily. You’ll also want to execute a content outpost strategy using your RSS feeds. Content outposts – I love that term that Chris [...]

You can see my first 16 tweets using the very cool My Tweet [...]
IntenseDebate creates the commenting system platform
March 5, 2009 – 4:31 pm
About a month ago, I wrote a blog post expressing my disappointment with the lack of evolution in the IntenseDebate commenting engine. My disappointed was rooted in seeing feature after feature being added to competing systems like JS-Kit and Disqus.

Between IM, Twitter, Hulu, TechMeme, Google Reader, Pandora, and a ranking of every Beatles song ever recorded, it’s amazing that I ever write a line of programming code or change my kids diapers. It’s a miracle I ever get around to [...]

January 27, 2009 – 1:12 pm
When Automattic purchased IntenseDebate, I decided to begin adopting that commenting system on various blogs I administer. I even recommended it to some clients. Because I utilize WordPress on my sites, my thinking was that Automattic’s purchase of IntenseDebate meant integration with WordPress would be superior in the long run.

January 21, 2009 – 10:26 am
Want a conversation topic to have over a beer with a bunch of movie loving friends? Discuss filmmaker Wes Anderson’s body of work. There’s some good and there’s some bad. Rushmore is a classic. If you ask me to name my 10 favorite films of all-time, Rushmore makes the list. Bottle Rocket is charming enough, [...]
