Review of Guy Kawasaki’s New Book “Reality Check”

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
It’s been a while since I’ve thought about Fake Steve Jobs. In fact, the last time he was on my radar was when we helped out him in late July, 2007. Well, he’s back, sort of, and he’s in perfect form. He was invited by Guy Kawasaki to write not one, but two Forewords for his new book, Reality Check. The two forewords are appropriately (and geekily) entitled, “Foreword 1.0″ and “Foreword 2.0.” The forewords reveal a tongue-in-cheek attitude towards the book itself. “So what is Guy’s new book about?

Review of Market Motive: Internet Marketing Videos, Conference Calls and Consulting

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008
In January I wrote an entry on the services being offered by Internet Marketing Ninjas and Market Motive. At the end of the entry I wrote: It should be noted that this article was not a true “review” of each service, it was a comparison of their publicly available offerings.

Well, Market Motive took me up on that offer and gave me free access to their service for a full ...

The Ultimate URL Shortener and Redirect List

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008
Excessively long Internet links (URLs) have been with us since the onset of the Internet. College websites are notorious for having long URLs to their content — especially URLs that are difficult to remember or type. Search engines have also played a part in promoting long URLs. For example, search engines like Google reward Web pages that use descriptive URLs — URLs that include related keywords. For the most part, the “hyperlink” nature of the Internet makes long URLs a nonissue. However, it can quickly become a problem when you decide to email a long URL or publish a long URL ...

Review of Zotero Add-On for Firefox

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007
If you’re on the Internet all day like myself, then you probably come across hundreds of websites, files, music collections, historical archives, images, etc, that you would like to keep track of. Let me introduce you to Zotero. Zotero is a free Firefox 2.x add on — compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux — that makes the collection of data effortless. By default, Zotero makes itself accessible from the status bar, but you can also display it above the Web page content at the top of your browser. It can be used to archive almost anything that you come across on ...
