It’s been a long time since I’ve done a cool links post, and I’m going to try and do these more often than before.
How To Write More In Less Time
Net Business Blog’s Dee Barizo takes a look at some tips given by Andrew Cavanagh (no clue who he is, but he’s apparently a copywriter so.. yeah). Basically you should write your ideas and don’t edit - just write like crazy. Then go back later on and fix up your posts.
That is pretty much what I do now, and to be honest it doesn’t work as well as it used to, but it is definitely better than trying to do it all at once.
The Legal Issues with Comments
Jonathan Bailey (you know, the guy from Plagiarism Today) talks about some of the legal issues that might pop up from comments. As he said, there really isn’t any reason to not do comments because of legal issues. The laws tend to protect bloggers from defaming/illegal comments pretty well.
By the way, Jonathan, you sound like a lawyer. I mean, quoting all the U.S. laws from bills I’ve never even heard of. How the heck do you find this stuff? You sound like someone who went to law school and has been practicing law for years
Alexa Says YouTube Is Now Bigger Than Google. Alexa Is Useless
Finally!!! My Prayers have been answered.
Real concrete evidence about how worthless Alexa is. According to Alexa (at least when that post was written) YouTube is more popular than Google.
Yeah… uhh how shall I put this? B….S!
Please subscribe, or else I will cry. Do you really want to make a programmer cry?

Thanks for the cool link
I agree with Alexa being worthless. Do you know of any site that is more accurate the Alexa?

Thanks for the visit
I’ve heard Compete is a bit more accurate, I’m not 100% sure how it works but I think it is roughly the same as Alexa (user installs toolbar, visits sites, etc). I am not sure why, but it doesn’t seem to have the temporary inflation all the time like Alexa.
I am a bit curious about this little Alexa jump with YouTube though, I just checked and it seems to already be fixed now, but the fact it happened at all I think says a lot about how reliable it is.

Nice catch.
