I don't know about you, but I'm tired of broken promises and UBER Product Launches of stuffl that fails to deliver and now there's Peomedia Automatic Blog.Maybe you're like me in that respect. I want to trust these guys and build a respectable business, but they just keep pissing me off with these HYPED UP, OVER-PRICED products that fail to connect all the dots and leave you high and dry, credit cards maxed out!There's a ton of Wordpress Plugins available online, lots for free! What makes Peomedia Automatic Blog Wordpress Plugin, another new gadget, any different; let alone worth paying for? (with the little money I've got left in my budget)

Being a webmaster, you've got your hands full, and I should know; I'm obviously one myself. So, anytime I come across applications to make the job easier, especially web applications, I'm quick to try them out and promote their greatness. In this article we have a social network popularity scanner, a 'people' scanner with real-time statistics (somewhat different than an analytical scan), a community based web application set for your business or website and more.

Looking for the best way to drive a massive amount of traffic to my site and my blog, I've recently stumbled upon a very interesting article about Craigslist. I've always been considering it a very primitive website, as far as the design is concerned. However, Craigslist ranks among the 25 most visited sites of the world (Alexa.com traffic rankings, april 2009) and without any doubt it's the most important classified ads platform worldwide. I know that Google Adwords is very effective, other similar advertising programs are good too, but what if we could produce the same amount of traffic (or even more) using Craigslist for free? The idea is creating an appealing advertisement (with a link pointing to our website) and posting it in multiple sections of Craigslist corresponding to the major cities of the world (highly populated cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc.). This will certainly produce a massive traffic flow. The problem is that if we post the same ad (or similar ads) in multiple cities, all our ads will be detected by Craigslist spiderbots and deleted by the staff. Even if we offer serious products we will be considered spammers, and if we insist, we will be banned .... ..... and this will happen unless we use the method discovered by Steve Mount to avoid being detected by the spiderbots and to avoid being deleted.

Like Jing, but don't know how it compares right now. Worth looking at.

Forget everything you know about Windows Mobile. Seriously, throw the whole OS concept in a garbage bin or incinerator or something. Microsoft has done what would have been unthinkable for the company just a few years ago: started from scratch. At least, that's how things look (and feel) with Windows Phone 7 Series. This really is a completely new OS -- and not just Microsoft's new OS, it's a new smartphone OS, like webOS new, like iPhone OS new. You haven't used an interface like this before (well, okay, if you've used a Zune HD then you've kind of used an interface like this). Still, 7 Series goes wider and deeper than the Zune by a longshot, and it's got some pretty intense ideas about how you're supposed to be interacting with a mobile device. We had a chance to go hands-on with the dev phone before today's announcement, and hear from some of the people behind the devices, and here's our takeaway. (And don't worry, we've got loads of pictures and video coming, so keep checking this post for the freshest updates).

There are about a million ways to make a choropleth map. You know, the maps that color regions by some metric. The problem is that a lot of solutions require expensive software or have a high learning curve...or both. What if you just want a simple map without all the GIS stuff? In this post, I'll show you how to make a county-specific choropleth map using only free tools.

I've been blatantly cheating at foursquare for the past week. I didn't mean to start the week this way. Most of my friends know me as a responsible father who occasionally plays piano at local open mics, and makes puzzles.

Actually, I stumbled upon this when I decided to try out Office 2010 beta. I haven't found any official documentation about how to connect to Windows Live SkyDrive with WebDAV (or any API), so I'm not sure how well supported this will be in the future. If you find any word about this from Microsoft, please let me know in the comments. The good news is that it works. The bad news is that it is very slow, but being 25 GB for free I guess you get what you pay for speed-wise (understandably).

As you may know, Microsoft announced last July the Live Services Plug-in for Moodle, a free download released under the General Public License v2 that integrates Microsoft's Live@Edu services such as email, calendar, instant messaging and search directly into the Moodle experience. The move was very important for Microsoft in the educational space in Latin America, as adoption and usage are surging in the region for Live@Edu, Microsoft's free communication and collaboration solution that educational institutions can offer their students.
