  • Try to make sense with your blog article. If you write your everyday eating, or what you saw through your window, no one will read your blog. However, if you describe in the best possible way how did your breakfast look like, and how did it feel after, or what did the girl who passed by the window look like, it’s a winner.
  • Write as often as you want but don’t overdo it. Your readers will be fed up with your articles that you wrote at 10 am, 10:22, 10:45 etc. Write them at 10, put the rest to some text file, and wait for it to pile up, then at 12, sort it, split it, post it.
  • Don’t write too much. Ordinary reader will be gone after 2, max 3 paragraphs. They have books to read, so don’t put essays, put scraps. If they are interested, add read more, or something similar to your article, but in the main article, just put a TOC.
  • Don’t make a mile-long list of what are your likes, dislikes etc. It’s just not cool anymore, and there are sites that can aggregate these lists for you. Google for them…
  • Don’t brag about it. You have written an article. Published it, and now you’re spending next 24 hours digging it, googling it, technoratiing it etc. Don’t do that. If your article is worth anything, you’ll get your audience, even if you don’t look at your article ever again. It’s all about quality.

Until it is operational again (or not), this will be the main place to be…

Update: There is definitely no more Web 2.0 hysteria, so I will try to make new one for all of you people…

Not a single spam message ever came to blog without being caught by akismet module. I have about 200 spam messages daily, and i’m pretty short-fused about them. But check this post… I am a little baby concerning this guy…
Well, off to deleting spam, see you.

Everyone got greedy, and want a share of this multi-million cookie. In 2005 there were so many GREAT web applications that you just can’t imagine. Today, 3/4 of them are done for - they do not exist anymore because no one was interested, although there were like million users of the same service. There are 2 possibilities: one, to promptly find a gold mine in form of fat white Caucasian investors (good for both sides - one gets the money, other gets tax cuts), and the other possibility is to charge users for these services, as this could get money, too… Sad but true. I leave you now to think about this, and start making money, before all ends in a bang. Big bang.

It seems that we’ve got some pretty bad ideas, such as these: Web 2.0 apps will eat all available internet bandwidth before 2010. And here’s why: Bandwidth is limited. We’ve already seen applications like Google suggest that give you partial results, by getting all results that matter to you. Well, you type a letter, and Google sends you partials, using bandwidth. Then you type another letter, and Google uses some more bandwidth. as you continue typing letters, you can see that these small fractions of bandwidth usage, multiplied by a billion or more users using Google at a same time, will take billion times more bandwidth, times number of letters used for search. As almost every search is 4 letters or more, you can foresee the scenario… But, there’s an encouraging thoughts, which we didn’t think about: by 2010, internet will expand. It will expand more and more, thus allowing such a waste of bandwidth…

Google is mentioned here per-example, it could be any web service that uses such partial queries to their servers, such as userscripts.org, metak (mentioned before), etc…

At first I thought it was just yet-another-translator, but with first letter that I typed, it was all different… Something like Google suggest happened in a flash, and with every letter typed, selection was narrowing, until I’ve got my word… fast as a bullet… This is great, and this goes straight to my bookmarks…
