9 Reasons Why Blogging Is Just Like Playing World Of Warcraft
June 18, 2008
I’ve had this post in my head for quite some time. I’m not sure if it will work, but I have to get it out of my head. I tried stabbing my brain with Q-tips, but it doesn’t help anymore.
Statement: Blogging is just like a massively multi player online game, it could be World of Warcraft, Everquest 2, Eve Online or one of the many other MMOs out there.

Last year’s successful launch of FIFA 2008 News inspired me to try again this year. Through hard work and a lot of viral marketing (commenting on blogs and forum participation) I managed to make FIFA 2008 News one of the major FIFA blogs.
I’ve moved the entire blog to FIFA2009News.com and redirected the traffic to the new site as well. I’m really looking forward to this.
I just love the smell of a new blog in the morning… Read more

Twitter Alternatives - Plurk Or Pownce
June 6, 2008
It’s no surprise that twitter can be a bit unstable from time to time. Twitter is probably the only service I know that’s almost more down than it’s up, and still have a loyal fan base and increase it’s number of users.

In the nature of this blog’s name I’ve gathered a bunch of applications and services, that are in beta.
- StumbleRank - Are you one of the top stumblers? You can add yourself and see who has the most followers. Rank is calculated on number of fans and reviews.
- Spanning Sync 2.0 - Sync your Gmail contacts with your Address Book and your Google Calendar with iCal. This is Mac only. Remember to back up your Gmail and Google Calendar first.
- Twine - Let’s you network with people who share your interests and hobbies. I have 30 Twine invitations. Let me know if you are interested.
- Evernote - Capture information with whatever device you have at hand. It doesn’t support Firefox 3 yet, so I haven’t tried the browser version. Evernote only supports Windows Mobiles too. No Linux support either, so not completely sure about the sales pitch. Let me know if you want an invite.

Which program and on which hardware I made the video is not important, at least not now, but it’s a part of my quest for the Apple. Read more
