Verbs 2.0 -- tweeting, digging, blogging, emailing (ok, that one is 1.0) -- can now make you some extra change for doing what you do already. All you need to get is a Google AdSense account and add it to your MessageDance profile. Send YouTube videos, Songza songs, Digg articles, Amazon product recs, and emails to Twitter (and any of your other social networks) and when people click through to your message detail on MessageDance.com, your AdSense ads will show on the right side bar. The impressions and clicks are all yours! Imagine, when yo...

It's probably been over two years, but I actually clicked on one today. Because Gmail thinks I'm a spammer, I've been getting tons of delivery failure messages. Gmail served up an ad for help (for a price) for getting email accounts off spamming blacklists. Geez, talk about a perfect revenue scheme for Google. Practically shut down a user's account and then serve an ad for a vendor to help you fix it. Righteous business model. Not evil? Despite Google's AdSense victory over me today, it has been a very, very long time since I clicked on an a...
I will admit I thought the Apple Store was a bad idea when they first opened. I saw them going into high-end shopping centers like the store in Walnut Creek, CA located next door to a Tiffany store. How could a traditionally low-margin business justify expensive-as-hell retail locations? I figured Apple expected these to be just cost-of-sale demo centers / brand-builders and never expect the stores to be profitable. Again, I admit I was wrong. When Apple choses a location, they do so with the requirement that it be profitable within a year ....
With the Safari browser and the iPhone's sweet touch screen functionality, I can look at any web page and do what I would do on a laptop. Granted, browsing on the AT&T Edge network can try your patience, but when connected to wi-fi (and soon 3G), the browsing speed is perfectly reasonable. So, it bothers me somewhat when I land on a site and they serve up an "optimized" UI for mobile devices (try MSNBC from your phone). Typically, there is less functionality available to you and in the MSNBC's case, it won't let you switch to the standard UI ...
The title is apropos for the election season, but I'm going to propose an idea here and I hope to get some feedback. Lots of people are talking about the disconnect with comments and conversations happening on Twitter, FriendFeed, and their blog . For example, you make a blog post and (with MessageDance automatically) it goes to Twitter (and thus to FriendFeed), people can comment about it on your blog, Twitter, and FriendFeed (and on MessageDance.com). Big-time fracturing of comments. Since you started with your blog, shouldn't you be able to...
I might get some irritated commentors (actually, probably not -- I get a Geoff-Out everyday) with some really good arguments as to why a Twit-Out is a decent idea, but come on, *get a life*. It's not like the Twitter folks want to have these problems. It's not like your Twit-Out is a strike against a cruel hunta, racial injustice, or an unjust war. Twitter is a free service that has become a lot of fun and somewhat addictive to many, many people. The people you are "outing" against know it sucks right now -- but they are not withholding some r...
Just read this piece about FriendFeedLinks on TechCrunch and the first thought I had was -- will FriendFeed have a problem with this? After all, could you imagine a MicrosoftLinks or GoogleLinks? Corporate lawyers live for this kind of stuff . But that was before Twitter . Twitter really changed things by not going after 3rd-party services and the companies who used their name or likeness. Twittermail, Twitterrific, TwitterSecret -- the list goes on and on . I believe the jury is still out on this *trademarkless* strategy as they can nev...
Don't get me wrong, there is absolute value in knowing what my friends, colleagues, and people-I-pine-to-be-like are talking about. But not everyone who is in my circle uses an
