Nightmare on MySpace

Thursday, May 15th, 2008 | Tech Corner with 5 Comments

I joined this community of social mongrels 3 years ago and all I get is working class ladies trying to get me to visit their porn site. One would think that MySpace would have a spam blocking agent in place for such unsolicited messages.

I stayed away from this community for about 6 months as I really didn’t feel it was worth the time an or effort to establish my presence. MySpace has quit a following and an addictive fan base. I just don’t get it or I am just to old. I have read many horror stories about older men trying to brain wash young teenage girls in meeting them. I wish that the law would castrate any sex offender. This would be the best form of rehab for any sexual predator.

There’s some goodness to all this and that would be when I found an old friend of mine that I hung out with back in High School. I received a friend request and thought here we go again a Russian lady looking for love online, lol. It was nothing like this, it was an old friend. We spoke about a lot and did a lot of catch up. MySpace is not all that bad, but it rarely provides me value.

I would like to hear your opinions and experiences with MySpace.

A Social Network Scramble

Saturday, May 10th, 2008 | Tech Corner with 7 Comments

You must ask yourself what Social Network do I choose? This is the most important question. If you’re a blogger and own a self hosted blog, social networks can be great traffic drivers to your site.

Social Network Humor:

I Ask, and I find myself doing a Backflip over my decision. I grow hungry and begin to Feed Me Links and Squidoo on the side. It was so Del.icio.us I had to Mixx up another batch. I have so many Fave foods to choose from, but I am so undecided on what to choose. I than ask my girlfriend to share Co.mments on what to eat. I than Digg through the refrigerator to decide what I want. I than StumbleUpon some leftover pasta my girlfriend made. I start to eat it and enjoy it so much I gave my girlfriend a big Hugg. I am still not satisfied yet, so I begin to look through the Yellow Pages and order Mister Wong Chinese. The door bell rings 30 minutes later and it’s the delivery guy, Yahoo!.

It took a while to decide what social network I wanted to participant in. It’s important not to over extend yourself by participating in too many social networks. Keep it simple by selecting no more than 2, so you can put more time and focus, thus getting better results.

LinkReferral.com

I am testing a potential web traffic generator, and so far I am seeing pretty good referral traffic.

What’s Link Referral?

Link Referral drives traffic from it’s members directory of over 150,000 members, and thousands of outside visitors on a daily basis.
