This post is being written on my iPhone using the WordPress iPhone app – which I would link to if it weren’t such a hassle. That is my major gripe about the app, and it’s one that can’t be stressed enough: writing HTML on the iPhone (on any phone, I imagine) is an exercise in [...]

I was struck by something that I read on Twitter a few minutes ago, and quickly realized that any reply I wanted to make would take more than 140 characters. What I read was “I want Google to make their GPS app an Android exclusive, stick it to Apple for GVMobile. iPhone users can spend [...]

With both legitimate marketers and spammers setting their sights on Twitter, it is only a matter of time before spam becomes a major problem. Anyone at all can send you an “at” message, and unfollowing someone is a very final solution. What if you like 90% of what someone tweets but they throw in a [...]

It was one year ago that I launched what was to be my greatest online achievement: Earn a Million a Day. I remember that day well… The setting was the annual ShareASale Think Tank event. I was there, as I am now, and I was thinking about how I could share my vast, vast knowledge [...]

According to a few sources (here, here and here), the previously discussed $11,000 fine for not disclosing relationships with companies that bloggers review or link to isn’t quite real.

Post image for $11,000 Disclosure Fines: The Government Strikes Back, Part Two

It’s official: the government is in the business of fining bloggers who don’t play by their poorly defined rules of disclosure. Back in June I wrote an article describing how the United States government was gearing up to go after bloggers that don’t disclose income or freebies from companies that they write product or service [...]

If You’re on my Holiday List…

Walkers shortbread. Best cookies on earth.

For those that get more than just a holiday card from our family, the odds that you’ll be getting something from Walkers this year is extremely high. Just thought you’d like to know. Best. Cookies. EVER. Seriously, these things are addictive. Half my body weight can probably be attributed to these cookies, which might not [...]
