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.

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.

Are You Internet Famous?

I’m at 2019 fwiw:

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.

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…
