How To Get Your Picture Into Fast Company Magazine

06 August 2010 - By Ryan - Filled in Bloggers, Blogging

I read about this yesterday on Shoemoney.com and found it both interesting and humorous. Fast Company magazine, a publication that writes about entrepreneurs, start-ups, business ideas, etc., asked themselves this question: “Who are the most influential people online right now?” Rather than trying to answer it themselves, they decided to experiment with a site called [...]

Spam Comments: More Annoying Than Spam Email

19 April 2010 - By Ryan - Filled in Blogging

When you run a blog with any amount of traffic, especially one with topics people have something to say on, you quickly get to a point where spam comments become a normal part of your blogging life. Not a big deal usually. In most cases they’re absolutely blatant and easy to spot. And I actually [...]

Bring On The Bad Press!

02 April 2010 - By Ryan - Filled in Blogging

Maybe I should just start a blog following the perils of big Internet Marketing gurus. Seems like I’ve been posting quite a bit about them lately. I was reading a recent post on Shoemoney.com where Jeremy was calling out some dude named Patrick Curl (Patrick Curl – The Social Media Idiot) because Patrick made what [...]

In my effort to embrace Google Buzz in preparation for it’s future takeoff (who knows if it will happen), I’ve added a Google Buzz button to the blog. Now you can “Buzz” a post you find interesting, stupid, off-the-wall crazy, or whatever. In case you don’t already know how to add this to your blog, [...]

Yes, I was a Google Buzz killer…until…

22 February 2010 - By Ryan - Filled in Blogging

I admit, I wasn’t (and still am really not) a Google Buzz fan. Probably the biggest reason is because I hate feeling like I have yet MORE messages waiting for me to go through. I like keeping my inboxes tidy and I’m a terrible multi-tasker with the biggest offender being email. So when Google fired [...]

State of the “Blueverse.com” Union

18 February 2010 - By Ryan - Filled in Blogging, My Projects & Startups

“It’s been a crazy few months.” A typical response you hear from people when they haven’t made something a priority. I’m not going to try and come up with anything better since when it really boils down to it, I just haven’t had the motivation to post on Blueverse.com the past couple of months. Why? [...]
