TweetThis weekend I’m having a simple script written — as an IFRAME, but using JavaScript. Through the remaining time left, I’m going to have a script that randomly pulls a supporter of $150+ and display their logo, company name, and description they supply, and display it in the right-column of every page of the Ringside [...]

Make Money With Twitter! 5 Monetization Models
Tweet The first thing needed is the EasyTweets application. It’s an application you have to pay for, but the capabilities are amazing. EasyTweets allows you to easily manage multiple Twitter accounts. You can then setup tweets that’ll happen in the future (so say you’re running a Sports-related Twitter account, then you could setup tweets in [...]
“Pull” Twitter Apps Not Practical Until…
Tweet“Pull” Twitter apps aren’t very practical until a setting is added to each user account. Right now, if someone adds me as a friend — I still can’t receive any direct messages they send me, until I add them as my friend too. And even once I were to do that, I wouldn’t receive any [...]
Crowdsourced VC Fund
TweetJames just wrote in the following, which I like his thinking — I just quite honestly have no clue how this could/would work: I love the idea for a massively transparent startup process, and i look forward to participating. That having been said, I’m not donating because you don’t pass either of my investing filters: [...]
Day 2 – $480, Goals
Tweet$480 total raised. About 50 days left. I’m trying for $20,000 — but minimum is $10,000. Thus, I need to get $200 of contributions per day. I have an option that if a contributor puts up $150+, they get to post their logo and add additional descriptive text. I’m going to start randomly displaying these [...]
Twitter – What Will Dominate: Content Push or Content Pull?
TweetI don’t know what will blow up and be used more on Twitter — content push plays, or pull plays. Push would be having ‘NFL’ as a friend and getting all the latest NFL news pushed to you as it happens. Pull would be service apps like users requesting stock quotes, sports scores, yellow page [...]
Being An Idea Guy Really Sucks Sometimes
TweetI’ve been on a Twitter high since last Friday night — I’ve had Twitter application ideas flowing through my body ever since (along with way too much adrenaline). I’m holding my ideas in, and if I blogged them, I’d be doing the original purpose of my Techquila Shots blog (getting original ideas out there to [...]
Are you a Senior PHP/MySQL programmer?
TweetIf you’re a great PHP/MySQL programmer (and looking for some potential side work; specifically tonight) — email me. Please don’t waste my time if you really aren’t that good. You can just email me, but I’d like at the very least, examples of your work. Sample code of yours will give you an edge (as [...]
Twitter Usernames Are Like Domains in 1995
TweetI posted an article on TechCrunch last night after I requested the Twitter dev team to open their API and expose “direct messages”. (Note: Some others had requested similar functionality from Twitter). I saw the potential of “direct messages” essentially becoming commands, so that applications could be built off the Twitter back-end — allowing users [...]
Day 1 – $320, The Press, Plan B Options, Mike Arrington’s input
TweetLast night I officially launched the Ringside Startup project. I actually had soft-launched last Thursday, notifying a handful of people — including the initial advisors. Wanted to work out any kinks before going public. The mistake I made was getting the thing digg’d that night — because come today, the digg is 3 days old [...]
