Dress Up Games

Alright, recently we launched theCaffeinated (our discussion forums) and some of you who've been there have been wondering about avatars (those little pictures to the left of our posts.) Have no fear, TheDollPlace.com is here with the DollMaker. (more…)

Stay up to date on PayPerPost

Posted by: Brian — January 2, 2007 at 5:30 pm

PayPerPost.com has been busy of late. They bought much of performancing.com, they're still running RockStartup.com (which I blogged about here), and on top of all of that, they still are keeping sponsors hooked up with bloggers (like me).

How might one keep up with all the news that comes out of PPP? With their blog, of course. Unlike some corporate "blogs" (Google"), PPPs blog is actually a true blog, with announcements AND the ability for readers to comment. As I peruse the blog, I can read about how PPP is trying to appease the newly acquired Performancing users, winners of PPP contests, some videos about PPP, where PPP is headed in the new year and even personal thoughts and resolutions from the CEO of PPP.

To be blunt, some of the posts go beyond the openness which characterizes Web 2.0 companies.  I'm not sure we really needed to see pictures of PPP founder Ted Murphy as a child singing on the hearth (and FWIW, thank God no one has any video of MY hearth antics as a child).  Other posts, about the performancing acquisition for example, are really great.  Overall, it's sort of a mixed bag.  Personally, I wish Ted had his own blog and left the PPP stuff separate.

PPP is really serious about getting the word out about their blogs. So serious that they're sponsoring me to write this post. So why not check it out?

Social Search, thy name is Sproose

Sproose home page

What do you get when you combine Digg.com, Del.icio.us, and Google? Sproose.com, as it turns out.

Sproose.com (currently in beta) combines the searches one expects from Yahoo! or Google with tagging and social voting. The theory is that the more who people "vote" for a site, the more likely the site is to be the result you were looking for. As Sproose gets up and running, it could be exactly that.

RockStartup! — Behind the scenes of Web2.0

Posted by: Brian — December 21, 2006 at 4:14 pm

reality tv

Rockstartup Look! Up on YouTube! It's a TV show!  It's a Podcast!  No, it's a behind the scenes look at the founding and running of PayPerPost, which is a new-ish Web 2.0 company.  I know, some of you out there are saying, "Reality TV is bad enough on the Tube, why would I watch it online?"  but hear me out… after the jump.

Pay Per Post

Posted by: Brian — December 21, 2006 at 3:06 pm

Over the next few months you might notice a new category to some posts.  The category is Pay Per Post and essentially, it seems like a pretty good idea.  More about this…after the jump. (more…)
