Facebook Applications Take Over the World
It’s 2025… We renew our driver’s licenses through Facebook… We vote for President through a Facebook application… And Elvis has come home!

Traffic Break – Google Hell and StumbleUpon
Everybody wants more traffic, right? Here’s a couple quick thoughts on that subject.
Bloggers definitely like StumbleUpon. I’ve had some decent luck with it in the past, but I finally found the perfect content for it: 11 Reasons to Fire Your Lawyer.
This little post was a quick thought I had a couple weeks back. I finally published it, and it got 415 visits from StumbleUpon in a single day. In my book, that’s awesome! It’s serious content, but it also has a humorous tone. I’ll definitely try to repeat that. 🙂

Let’s Network – Share Your IM Names
I talk a lot about networking, so I thought it was time to action. Daniel Scocco did a great post where he encouraged everyone to share their IM usernames. The idea is to be able to connect more with each other, especially off-blog.
Through Daniel’s post, I was able to meet some new people and connect more deeply with others. It was a great idea!

Two Ways to Boost Your Blog’s Energy
Do you feel like your blog has hit a glass ceiling? Traffic holding steady, or even decreasing? Are your earnings not what you’d like? Here’s my advice:
Switch gears
If you keep getting the same (unsatisfactory) results, you need to change your approach. Get different output by giving your blog different input.
You can do SEO until you’re blue in the face. You can redesign your theme. Add new widgets. But you’ve already done all that, right?
Here are two ideas that will breathe some life into your blog. I guarantee it!
Write off topic
Yep, I’m a …

Great New Site for Business Card Tips
I apparently have a fascination with business cards. I seem to stumble upon sites about them, and I’ve written about them quite a bit.

What intrigued me the most was the author’s invitation to get a free link by asking a question. …
