TweetSimple one-page website — input your cell phone number, select your phone carrier, and choose your own identity (email address) that will allow you to receive text messages to your cell. As of right now, if I wanted to give you an email address that would send me a text message, it would be my [...]

TweetMichael Arrington, TechCrunch 1/14/07: “For the blogger crowd, it would be very useful to have a plugin that works directly with the standard comments feature that allows users to leave text, audio, or audio/video comments at their election. If someone builds a stable plugin that does that, we’ll be integrating it across all the TechCrunch [...]

TweetHotOrNot displays a photo of someone and asks you whether they are Hot Or Not. What if there was a similar type of site (LikeLoveOrHate.com), but instead of a photo of someone — it showed a topic or interest to you, and asked whether you like, love or hate it. The site would learn a [...]

TweetHow many millions of transactions are happening each day? Whether I’m looking to buy something from a local retailer, or an online retailer, or an individual on Craig’s List — I’d like to know the experiences that others have had in dealings with whomever I’m about to buy something from. And I don’t want to [...]

Tweet I have said in the past that if MySpace is v1.0 of social networking, then MyBlogLog is v2.0 of social networking. So what’s v3.0? It’s proximity (geolocation, “in-the-vicinity”) social networking.

Tweet I’ve written about this idea in the past (here and here). ShareMyWifi (I own ‘ShareMy.net’ — “share my internet”) — Have you ever been somewhere and didn’t have an Internet connection (airport, hotel)? Or maybe you have the Internet connection and want to monetize it a bit (maybe you spent $6.95 for an airport [...]

TweetI’ve made a decision — I’m not going to be holding ideas back on this blog. I’ve been marinating on a few that I think are quite great (look for them soon) — but I’m not in a position to act on any ideas. This is my year to get out of debt for the [...]

TweetAirports have just become ridiculous. I recently visited my father in NC — it was roughly 7-hours to get from NC to NY. It’s a 12-hour drive. Granted, it wouldn’t have taken 7 hours if there wasn’t a weather delay — luckily I had enough reading to occupy me. But I saw many people wondering [...]

TweetDon’t you hate sitting through 60-minute podcasts only to hear 3-minutes of worthiness? Jason Calacanis is joined by Doc Searls, Michael Arrington, and Dana Gardner among others for a virtual roundtable conversation available here. However, that webpage tells you nothing more about the discussion — other than it’s a 59-minute podcast. To know what they’re [...]

TweetThe mission of this blog is to spark ideas and business creativity in my readers. I have started this blog to express my web strategy/marketing creativity by differentiating from all of the other great “web tech” blogs out there — whether it be news (TechCrunch, Mashable!, GigaOM, etc) or opinion/insight from the many blogs by [...]
