Dave and Jay - Crazy Web Entrepreneurs

After about a month, I figured it was time to make our separation public. No doubt you have already noticed that since mid-May I haven’t really been posting very frequently on the blog - this started out as me being busy with moving, but once things settled down, I took a long hard look at […]

I’m going to be going a little off topic here, and this will probably resonate with our Canadian readers a bit more than our neighbors to the south. Yesterday, Telus and Bell (two of the three major cellular service providers here in Canada) announced they are talking about merging.
Obviously this hasn’t gone by government review […]

Nothing in particular today…
It may be the heat (air conditioner isn’t installed until tomorrow) but right now, I’ve convinced myself that Shoemoney and Darren Rowse were separated at birth.
Observe:

1. They are both successful online
2. They both wear glasses
3. They both have a blog
4. Their blogs are both in the top 200 on Technorati
5. I […]

I think anyone who has ever attended a conference before, whether it be trade/industry related or online related, probably has a pretty good idea of what the event was like… as for the play-by-play, you’ve come to the right place.
For starters, the first thing that hit me was the complete and utter lack of signage […]

Here’s a list of a few ideas and concepts that seem simple once you hear them, but I hadn’t thought of before hearing them at panels while attending SES.
1. Companies using Digg and other social media sites to promote their clients are gaming the system, at least a little bit.
This is more of a confirmation […]

I attended two sessions where panelists took sites from members of the audience and critiqued sites of individuals in the audience. I was fortunate enough to get Ancient Standard up on the screen and in front of a room full of eyes at both sessions. Even if the panelists had nothing constructive to say […]

Continuing with SES Toronto 2007 coverage, I’d like to tell a little story. A story about three panelists, all from the same company. Perhaps, you’ve heard of it… it’s called Microsoft. I’ll be honest, I’m not a windows fanboy, I really dislike Vista… but I’m not a die hard Bill-hater either.
Obviously, Microsoft will […]

Goodbye boring, predictable and common Mistylook (boo!). Hello new hotness! If you’re reading this through RSS, click on over to the page, we’ve just rolled out a fancy new blog design.
So, do you love it? Hate it? Have suggestions on improving it? Let me know!
P.S. We’ll be rolling out an unbranded copy of this template […]

On the train ride home after day one, the discussions Jay and I had about SES tended to revolve around how useful / worthwhile the day had been. The main question that kept coming up was “if I had just paid $1150 to attend this conference, would I feel like I got value out of […]

Well, I’ve returned back from the second day of SES Toronto 2007, and I am wiped out.  The second day was a LOT better than the first for me (obviously expect me to go into why in more detail over the next few days), and I’m somewhat sorry that Jason didn’t come to check out […]
