web 20: Will Home Buyers and Sellers Figure Out that We're Phoning it In Here - 11/17/07 01:01 PM
I linked to a few posts on my real estate internet marketing blog, and by far the bulk of the ensuing discussion from ActiveRain folks ended up being about duplicate content -- posting one thing on your own blog in the hope that the search algorithms will love you, then posting … (0 comments)

web 20: Here a MySpace, There a Yourspace, Everywhere a Space Space - 11/04/07 05:21 PM
Old MacDonald had a social network, E - I - E - I - O.
And now you can, too, free for nothing. Old MacDonald got nothing on Y-O-U!
Reprinted here by permission of the author, who is also me just like I am, is my ParticleWave article, Reductio Ad Myspace. This … (16 comments)

web 20: How To Turn Off Comments on ActiveRain - 10/21/07 06:36 PM
I had comments off on my main blog for awhile, when the bubblers were giving me some trouble.  They're back on again.
I've never had to do that here.
Why would anyone want to turn off comments on ActiveRain?
Dumb idea -- heck, they even pay the author some points when people comment enough.
Nevertheless, … (5 comments)

Warning: Pen Pocket Protector Zone ahead...
Purva Brown recently asked me if we could get Sacramento Home Journal set up so clients could subscribe to it by email.
There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. One is to keep paying GetResponse.com -- which has so far been on my "cost … (2 comments)

web 20: Maybe Your Writer's Block is Trying to Tell You Something - 07/07/07 01:19 AM
I've had a bit of writer's block lately. 
Nothing really serious. I've been treating it with coffee and aspirin.
In the course of the aspirin and coffee kicking in, it occurred to me that maybe my writer's block was trying to tell me something.  Maybe I have nothing to say because, after all, … (7 comments)

web 20: Stay Connected with Plaxo - 07/04/07 12:42 AM
Greetings, Web 2.0 junkies.
Tonight I had a chance to play around a bit with Plaxo, an online address book and calendar that syncs with everything and the kitchen sink -- well, sort of.  Robert Scoble calls it the Switzerland of Social Networks.  I admit, I'm not sure if he means it's … (8 comments)

web 20: Web 2.0: That's You All Over - 07/03/07 10:23 PM
Those of you who've been through the Wizard of Oz as many times as I have will recall this exchange:Scarecrow:"First they[the Flying Monkeys] took my legs off and they threw them over there! Then they took my chest out and they threw it over there!"
Tin Woodsman:"Well, that's you all over!" 
In a … (1 comments)

web 20: A Page Full of Nerd - 06/12/07 11:50 PM
Those of you who are familiar with MyBlogLog.com (see for example the "Recent Readers" section at right), may have been impressed as I was recently by the profile editing page.
OK, only a nerd would say that.  The pen pocket protector fits just fine, thanks.
The profile editing page of MyBlogLog.com has line … (0 comments)

web 20: Web 2.0 Love/Hate Final Article: In Praise of ActiveRain - 06/11/07 04:15 AM
This is the final installment of my five part series on my love hate relationship with Web 2.0. The top paragraph of Part Four has a good summary of parts one through three, so I'll let you read that and just catch you up by saying that in Part Four, I … (6 comments)

web 20: My Love Hate Relationship with Web 2.0, Part 4.0 - 06/10/07 12:00 PM
This is part four of a (mumbledee mumbledee I don't know how many)-part series about my love hate relationship with Web 2.0.
In Part 1.0, we just preambled and ambled and threw out a few warm fuzzies.
In Part 2.0, (Other Peoples' Code) we started working our way into the technical meat somewhat, … (3 comments)

web 20: My Love Hate Relationship with Web 2.0, Part Three - 06/08/07 05:38 AM
I recently published Part Two (or Part Deux, for you Charlie Sheen fans) of my Article Series on My Love Hate Relationship with Web 2.0.  Part two gets into some of the technical issues surrounding the use of Other Peoples' Code.
I think I'll do Part  3 here, and start it off … (22 comments)

web 20: Mapping Site Coming Along - 06/06/07 10:29 PM
A non-ActiveRain project of mine, the Sacramento Map Project, is beginning to shape up fairly well.
Right now it's currently at the stage of publishing experimental map mashups for Sacramento County.  (A mashup is basically a web site constructed out of other peoples' data, programming interfaces, or the like).  In this case, … (0 comments)

web 20: Active Rain, Revisited - 06/06/07 10:50 AM
Well, look who's come crawling back to ActiveRain.  Me. 
I'm not sure I really have time to say much here, since I'm the author of two and a half other blogs already, but I'll try to at least post the links to those so if you happen to meet me here it … (4 comments)
