Lazyfeed Is Not Serving Sushi. It's All Spam!

Lazyfeed boasts that is is like a conyevor belt of sushi. Have you tried Conveyor belt sushi? At a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, sushi plates are automatically delivered to you literally on a conveyor belt, so you don’t have to move around. Lazyfeed is Conveyor belt sushi for your interest. Lazyfeed is all about letting [...]

How Do You Gauge Credibility?

An interesting question was inadvertently raised by @SabrinaDent (Sabrinas blog) earlier when responding on Twitter to my post “The FCC, TSA, @MyBottlesUp And Why Bloggers Can’t Be Trusted”. How do you judge credibility online? Credible bloggers are taken plenty seriously – TheStory.ie is an example. This woman has no credibility and never built any. How [...]

The Social Media Guru (Video)

Social media experts, gurus and witchdoctors! You can’t turn a corner on the internet without running into 10 of them. Each and every one of them pimping their own regurgitated brand of “unique” insight that will do everything from save your business to turn you into a superstar with all of the perks and track [...]

Why Ask A Question If People Can't Answer?

I’ve always believed that blogs were about conversation. You put your ideas out there and people give you feedback. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they disagree, sometimes they end up ranting like a loon but you always have conversation. Needless to say I’m one of those people who believe that a blog without the ability to [...]

You may have boobs and kids, but you aren’t a mommy blogger!

It doesn’t matter who you are, we all feel the need to be part of a group, part of a collective which we can identify ourselves with. It gives us a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging and direction. In the blogging world, this is a great thing. Groups create influence and help drive [...]

My biggest flaw as a blogger

My biggest flaw as a blogger is that I don’t comment enough on other blogs. I read hundreds of blog posts a day and while I may have a reaction to them, I am usually too busy to comment on them. Instead I either share them on my link blog and /or Twitter with every [...]

Can you buy a blog community?

What is the value of the O’Flaherty community? If the prices was right could I sell it? Those two question have been on my mind since Chris Brogan asked "is your community for sale?" in his reactionary post to Andrew Baron putting his Twitter account up for sale. What value would a purchaser take with [...]

Another problem with and how to benefit from BlogNetNews

Queen of Spain has brought to a head all of the problems with BlogNetNews because they are scraping her content without permission. Erin has successfully had her feed removed from BNN (good on you for doing it!) but, the more I think about it, the more I can see an opportunity for bloggers to gain [...]

Lets not go down that road (again)..

My good friend Scot Duke (the author of “How To Play Business Golf“) took some time out to drop a rather lengthy comment on my post “I’m beset by idiots!“. I know Scot won’t mind me promoting his comment and my response to full post status but I think Scot raises a point here which [...]
