Fired for Blogging? You Are Not Alone.
There are a number of people who fall under the heading of fired for blogging across multiple industries, dating back to near the start of the blogging online journal era. People who have been fired for blogging reach across all industries, and job positions. Many of the people who have been fired for blogging could [...]
Free Copy of Boom and Bust in the Blogosphere
Well going to try to release this book again, the publisher sent along 20 copies of the book today so I have been busy stuffing them into envelopes. The copies that I have are on their way to people who are going to get a free copy of the book. But while I was there [...]
Helpstream Gets New CEO – Hope We Did Not Lose Him as Blogger
We’re Bob Warfield fans here @ CloudAve: Ben called Bob a blogger role model, and I share his feelings, although in a strange moment Bob said he was reading my blog religiously Perhaps when he wants to laugh? Joke apart, Bob is a software veteran whose most recent gig was Executive VP of Helpstream [...]
CancelAds: New Startup Service to Help People Monetize Blogs
Of all the ways that people try to monetize blogs, and the many ways that users have of short circuiting those monetization efforts, a good friend of mine Svetlana Gladikova of Profy fame has introduced me to a new program called CancelAds. This might just be the middle ground between casual users who might click [...]

Startup CEO Who "Won't Take VC Abuse" Is Now a VC Himself and Blogs About It.
Valleywag named Mark Suster, then CEO of Koral “one entrepreneur who won’t just take VC abuse“ for his blog post “slamming one VC partnership for tardiness, inadequate preparation, and bad Blackberry manners.” That was late 2006… Not long after the “incident” his startup, Koral received funding, which, in hindsight was probably unnecessary: a few months [...]
We Need Feedburner Alternatives
CloudAve uses Feedburner. If you blog, chances are, you too. We all are. An that’s becoming a problem. Feedburner has become the de facto standard – third party or not, we like to publish our Feedburner feed, instead of our platform’s native RSS or Atom feeds, for the added convenience of getting all stats and [...]
Should the Junior level Professional Blog?
I’ve stolen the title from Chad Pursley, who devoted a post to the subject and asked the same question on my older post, Resumes are Dead. Social Media is Your New Resume: Right but to what extent is this a good thing and to what extent can it backfire? Does it change if like me [...]
Six Months Reflection, and a Treatise on Transparency
If you’ve ever read our About pages, you probably know that Zoho is our exclusive sponsor. This is a rather unique arrangement, where all Zoho gets in return for its support is the ability to advance the cause of Cloud Computing while leaving all editorial decisions in our hands. When we launched half a year [...]
The Irony of Google Ads
I often wrote about misplaced “contextual” ads that created undesirable situations, but this is something else. The Google Ad I saw today is ironic on so many levels, I don’t even know where to begin. Dan Lyons a.ka. Fake Steve Jobs wrote about how he quits blogging, as there is no money in it: While [...]
So You Didn’t Make Millions: Don’t Quit Blogging Just Yet
Image via Wikipedia Do you know who Dan Lyons is? Of course .. Fake Steve Jobs. He just announced he’d quit blogging, since: While blogs can do many wonderful things, making huge amounts of money isn’t one of them. But wait! Did you know Dan Lyons 3 years ago? I admit I didn’t. Perhaps it’s [...]
Zemanta for Email – But Why?
I really do like Zemanta the discovery and recommendation engine. It’s my favorite blogging plug-in, and I am so hooked on it that I even declared I’d rather pay for it than lose it, despite the sometimes funny pics. Today Zemanta released several new features – some I just love, others leave me scratching my [...]
We’ve Moved: Feedburner Migration Not Without Glitches
Feedburner started as a cool new blog feed management/reporting service a few years ago, and quickly became a de facto standard. A quick scan of my Feed Reader shows hardly anything but Feedburner. Since Google acquired the company almost two years ago, we haven’t seen a lot of new services – but that does not [...]
It’s Too Late to Start Networking When You’re Laid Off
Robert Scoble has a long laundry-list on how to effectively use social media in your job search if you are laid off. I agree with all but three points he makes: It’s a little late to start when you get laid off. Proactive brand creation before you really need it works a lot better. Roberts [...]
Is Twitter Being Used to Attack Blogs? We Still Need Social Feeds.
By Zoli Erdos on January 14, 2009
An older post on my personal blog, If Scoble Thinks He Found Bad Startup Marketing, He Ain’t Seen Nothing received several comments this morning, all showing the same structure, pointing back to Twitter accounts – some are clearly spam accounts with only this one update, but others appear to be real users, although I am [...]
