The Agony of Developing on Someone’s Web API

July 3, 2008 – 6:00 pm

For those of you who are new to WinExtra I also at one time developed a Windows desktop client for Twitter. For a while it did very well and I got a few nice comments made about it which made working on it worthwhile. What didn’t though and was partially the reason that I [...]

Social Media: just another term for Multi-Level Marketing

June 30, 2008 – 4:37 pm

In my youth I had the opportunity at one point to be introduced by friends to the wonderful world of multi-level marketing. I was shown ways to travel that road to riches and all the goodies that came with rolling in the dough. Even I could one day attain the impossible dream of vacationing [...]

I am coming to a firm conclusion that unless you are in the top 1% of the tech blogosphere no-one is listening to you – at all.
