BlackBerry Curve vs BlackBerry 8830

I’m really excited about my new BlackBerry Curve (mainly because I can now do pics and videos and send them to YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, etc).

Since I’m replacing my BlackBerry 8830 with the Curve, I figured I’d do a short comparison video:

There’s even some iPhone action in there for the mactards.

AffSpot Affiliate Forum

Wow. What a crazy week already.

Along with Aunesty Janssen, Billy Kay, Ron Bechdolt and Kellie Stevens, I helped launch a new affiliate marketing forum called AffSpot.

After the launch yesterday, there are already 75 members, 99 threads, over 300 posts, coverage by Shawn Collins and Wade Tonkin and a lot of buzz in the industry.

I’m really excited to be on board AffSpot and can’t wait to see how it grows over the coming years.

AffSpot Forum Is Live

So, AffSpot (the new affiliate marketing forum I’ve been working on) is live:

Shawn Collins also has coverage of the launch.

Come join us (lots of people signing up already)!

Segeway Sam

Don’t think I ever posted this, but Shawn Collins put together this vid of me riding a Segway in February at the Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas:

Shawn is a master propagandist, so don’t be fooled… I rode that thing like a champ.

I’m at 2019 fwiw:

40

I was listening to U2 this morning and the song 40 came up.

Made me remember how moving Psalm 40 actually is:

Psalm 40;: “1: I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. “

Good stuff.

I’m not a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, but I can’t look at this picture without smiling:


Thanks, Dad!

Vacation

I’ve been on “vacation” the last few weeks here (and in reality I’m at Lake Keowee with Anna’s family this week), but I’ll be blogging here more often starting next week.

Twitter Search and Summize Acquisition

Twitter has taken another step to finally put down the great FailWhale of ’08 by acquiring the real time search service Summize:

Twitter Search
We’re excited to announce that Twitter has acquired Summize—an extraordinary search tool and an amazing group of engineers. All five Summize engineers will move to San Francisco, CA and take jobs at Twitter, Inc. This is an important step forward in the evolution of Twitter as a service and as a company.

Since Twitter’s track functionality has been down, I’ve been a heavy user of Summize (and recommend you do the same through the new search.twitter.com interface).

Here’s to keeping things back on Track on Twitter…
