Blogosphere contracting? Assuming that both Sifry and Umbria are accurate and that these growth rates are remaining constant – the non-spam Blogosphere has peaked in size and is now contracting. Are we really losing real bloggers to spam blogs?

Zillow.com: Very cool tool with some obvious benefits. Zillow is a property valuation search engine with map based tracking of home and property valuations across the USA. Though I do not visualize the revenue stream yet, realtors and realty marketing folks should find this tool not only useful for research but also find a niche marketing platform for sellers and buyers. I sat there and checked out every property I have owned in the past and the present. The numbers seem to be a tad off, but that is to be expected.

Tag Cloud A reader asks: Do you get anything out of the tagcloud at the bottom Weblog Tools Collection’s navigation page? I personally like to know what gets thrown on top of which piles. However, are tag clouds useless? Are they useless in the context of blogs? What do you get out of the tag cloud from weblogtoolscollection.com? Did you know it existed? And last but not the least, have you every used a tag cloud to any level of usefulness beside just looking cool?

Most of us either have the Google Toolbar installed in IE and/or have a google search bar in Firefox/Mozilla. My question is, how many of us actually use the toolbar to search for things as opposed to visiting the Google homepage to make the queries? I personally feel that the Google Homepage helps me formulate the search query better and find myself predominately using the Google Homepage.

Blog advertising is a prickly slope. I have dabbled in this poison for almost as long as I have blogged. Most of my adventures have been less than satisfactory and I have made just enough money to help me host my blogs and services. I recently decided to give Text-Link-Ads a try. I really like it so far. This mode of advertising works much better than contextual advertising for sites such as mine. Text-Link-Ads are easy to setup and their customer service is excellent. There have been some bugs and discrepancies while they upgraded their systems and changed things around but these have always been resolved to my satisfaction without my interference. Patrick Gavin knows what customer service and a customer based business model is all about. I love to promote and help businesses that I like. Text-Link-Ads offers a good product, are very easy to deal with and can […]

Blogonomics Blog Cruise 2006: Like blogging? Like the Carribean? Have approximately $1200 to spare? How about a Blog Cruise with the big shots? I have to say that this is a great idea and I wish I had the extra moola to join these high fliers in their quest for the ultimate blogging conference. Bloggers attending will include the likes of Robert Scoble, Nick Wilson and Steve Hall. I wonder if there is going to be a blogging Foo Camp held there?
