I had a pleasant surprise today to find the Firefox just updated. You can get the latest version, 3.6.2 here: Firefox 3.6.2.
What’s the big deal. None really, mostly just security fixes, and some stability issues. One worth mentioning in regards to stability was that some users were not getting notified that their extensions may need updating after upgrading to 3.6. Continue reading »
I saw this headline found on Yahoo today, and I can’t help but saying…Duh. Most kids don’t like to read. The article, “Is Blogging a Slog? Some Young People Think So” was about how researchers found out that young people don’t like to read long blogs or articles anymore. Like they ever did. Comically written in a nearly 1,000 word article, I guess the young people today will not be reading it.
To ensure that this post is short enough for everyone to read, I leave you this picture to do the talking.
I may be jumping the gun here a little. This morning I decided to take a look at my stats to see how the Tweetmeme button is working out on this site since I added it. If you look at my past posts you will see that the button itself has not been heavily used, but the important thing to note is that it is being used.

As many of you know I developed the Twitter Toolbar for Firefox a while back. Downloads are going well, and usage just keeps going up, up, up. It also means more traffic for me. Each time someone tweets with it, I get a link to my site, and for everyone that has the toolbar, they can find bookmarks to my site. Basically, I get traffic out of it, and until just recently I got massive backlinks from it. Did Twitter make a big mistake by adding nofollow? Continue reading »

Vikinghammer Tweet, A Bloggers Dream
If you use WordPress for you blog, and are looking for a way to really make your Twitter feed alive then you need the add-on Vikinghammer Tweet. I just installed this, and am completely jazzed on what it can do. I was also happy to find it because if I didn’t, I was going to have to build it myself. What does it do? It tweets your blog posts (already been done I know), and it tweets comments made on your blog (this is the good stuff). Continue reading »
