reinvigorate Desktop Analyzer: reinvigorate is offering an application that provides real time streaming web events from your blog or website to your desktop. They call this application Snoop. I really missed this feature that existed in past incarnations of reinvigorate. I have said in the past that I am a sucker for stats and this just tickles the stats funny bone. reinvigorate, if you are not aware, already provides a whole bunch of analytics that rival Google Analytics in features and performance.

11 Jobs: I was writing an article/paper on social media and blogger jobs and by some unknown quirk of fate, I decided to search Monster for jobs with the word “blogger” in the title. It returned 11 jobs (!?!!?). The number of results left me dumbfounded. Is corporate America really that naiive? Is blogging still a fad that cool CEOs just happen to do when they feel like berating their closest competitor? Is blogging a niche that only matters if you happen to be in an industry that directly benefits from it? Are we, as a community of bloggers, doing enough to tell the corporate world that blogging is important, useful and finally a very powerful and personal means of communicating directly with your customers? I believe that much of corporate America still thinks that blogging and bloggers provide a slight competitive advantage and nothing more. There are some people […]

Pride is a three column, hybrid, rounded edge, lighweight, blue and yellow theme for WordPress that is very Blogger-esque. The theme elements have a comic like quality and looks very polished. Pride is authored by Small Potato and is released under the GPL. Prosumer is a three column, widget ready, white background, somewhat bare theme for WordPress by Jauhari.

Very important! If you have noticed, I wrote up a small heat map to be displayed in the sidebar and on the main search page of this blog. The search and data collection process is a slightly intelligent and tries to match up search terms and group them by usage. It then chooses all searches performed within the past 24 hours and displays them in a heatmap sorted by propensity of the search phrase. The 24 hour time period keeps the search phases in the heatmap turned over regularly and retains the interest of returning visitors. Why did I do this? I put it together because I believe that there is a lot of power (and thus clicks, pageviews, eyeballs) in searches. I had noticed the Eurekster Swiki on TechCrunch and was impressed by the power of the system. I tried to emulate it on weblogtoolscollection.com with little success. To […]
