I am sure you have all been hearing a great deal about BlogRush, the latest blog buzz topic. In fact, according to Technorati, BlogRush has been mentioned 2,000 times already! But the question is whether this new darling service is worth the hype. Of course, John Chow has adopted it, but he is also Agloco’s [...]
The entire SEO field is fixated on Google. It is all about improving your PageRank and getting listed in Google’s search results. The other search players are secondary in the minds of the experts. And of course, this is with good reason. Google is the dominant force in the industry and not just because it [...]
As part of the recent updates to my website, I would like to officially announce the availability of the premium advertising banner slots on the top of J David Macor.com. These banners are featured on every single page, and being at the very top, they receive plenty of attention. And through the end of this [...]
Well, it seems like everything that anyone has been posting about recently somehow revolves around the iPhone. In fact, just yesterday, reports were circulating that the iPhone has fallen far short of expectations in regards to sales volume. That will be verified later today when Apple releases its quarterly reports. Either way, the latest news [...]
I am honored to announce that I have been asked to be a writer for the famous (or infamous?) Wisdump. I was contacted earlier today to join the Wisdump team and I am glad to be a part of it. Basically, I will be writing once a week and talking about, well… whatever I want; [...]
From the folks that brought you Amazon, comes Sparky! The weirdest name for a long overdue Firefox extension. Every good webmaster is familiar with the Alexa Toolbar for Internet Explorer and its importance to Alexa ratings (don’t worry if you don’t know what I am talking about; just get caught up). Well, they have finally [...]
I am sure many of you are aware of this news, but I just found out about it. It seems that the almighty, benevolent Google has seen fit to make a nice change to their recent acquisition, FeedBurner. They have decided to make the Pro features free to all users. All of the FeedBurner analytical [...]
Well, this is going to be pretty simple. My friend, Teresa Watts, recently invited me to Pownce. I now have 5 invites to give out. Seeing that no one at my school really likes me, I thought I might offer them up here! Here is is the deal; you send me $100 through Paypal, and [...]
I want to give you, my faithful readers, an opportunity to win a prize. The company I am currently working for is looking for some market research and we need people to fill out a short 20 question survey. The questions are related to your web surfing habits and many of them are related to [...]
I found this list via Threadwatch and it was written by skore.
In PC Magazine’s upcoming May 8th issue they list the 10 most commonly used passwords online - if you are using any of these please turn off your computer immediately, go take a nap and then download this add-on for FireFox.
My first reaction to seeing the Show Top Commentators plugin was, “Is commentators really a word?… Seriously?…” But after I looked it up and found out that it was, I next thought, “Hey, this is a great plugin to show some love to people who comment on your site!” After all, a reader is essentially [...]
I have decided to start a new section here at j david macor.com. It is called tools, and as you may have suspected, it features a slew of tools for web masters. The list is a little on the small side right now, but don’t you worry your pretty little head; I will be updating [...]
So it was about time for a new template. My V2 theme from Derek was great, but as far as practicality goes, the theme wasn’t exactly optimal. It just wasn’t the most intuitive design. However, design wise, it was cutting edge and very attractive. It had a ton of great ajaxy features (and I highly [...]
I recently got invited by my good friend Jeremy to join this new social network called Virb°. To describe it in a very basic way, it is kind of like Facebook mashed up with MySpace, with a web 2.0 flare. Oh and without all of the boring uniformity of Facebook and the incessant ugliness of [...]
