You Should Be Reading: Hooking up with bloggers
I had the opportunity to meet up with some bloggers I met a few months ago in Orlando while I was visiting family over the weekend. My write-up is over at my Florida blog. We joked that we should have had the barbecue sponsored by PPP, since that’s where we all met.
There is supposed to […]

You should be reading: Andy Beard
Andy Beard shoots and scores again with Targeted Audiences Like Being Sold To, where he makes the case for how sponsored reviews can be leveraged by the advertiser and the blogger when they are kept relevant and targeted at the audience.
Relevant. Targeted. Those are the key words.

Entrepreneur Magazine: Pay the Piper?
With all of the controversial coverage of paid blogging brokers in "traditional" media, I was surprised to read a very balanced article in Entrepreneur magazine, usually one of the most pimp-tastic magazines on the planet. I wrote earlier about their coverage of BWAMs, but this article was directly relevant to the […]

I am probably going to hell for linking to this
I get a lot of Google news alerts based on keyword searches. I’m a glutton for a full mailbox.

It’s a new site, TechDumpster. They choose the big names - Arringtom, Kawasaki, […]

Keeping it in the family
Giving a little link-love to my wife, Stacey, who has been shooting the lights out at parent-traps.com the past few weeks breaking all kinds of product recall news. It looked like she scooped the blogosphere early this morning with this one:

An advertiser’s perspective on a PPP campaign
Taking a break from the up-n-down website drama with GoDaddy to give you some actual content…
Jack Spirko wrote a review post of three reviews purchased through PPP. It’s always good to get feedback, and Jack provided examples of the good, the really good, and the not-so-good. He reveals the offer to provide a top tack […]

This Just In: I Hate Mr. Fab
I’m jealous. I can’t help it. Mr. Fab just landed a sweet gig blogging for PPP. Here are the takeaways:
More posts about boobies and nethers.
More sexual-harassment of other bloggers - male and female.
Pack Ted’s fudge. Ted likes fudge like a fat kid likes fudge.
It remains to be seen if Mr. Fab can work clean. I […]

You Should Be Reading: Codehappy
I just discovered Peter Wright’s blog. Peter is the Director of Coding Stuff at PPP, or, as his business card reads, Vice President of Software Development. He states that CodeHappy is his personal blog and represents his personal thoughts.
Peter vented a bit about his frustration with A-listers and journalists that get PPP all wrong when […]
