After all the recent hoopla around blogger pay (specifically b5media pay), it’s great to hear Shai chime in with the perfect response.
Among her points is our core of focussing on community, running everything through our bloggers for approval first, valuing our bloggers, training and all kinds of other things. She also responds to a great […]
Ahhhh….
A good night sleep can do you wonders. For whatever reason, I spent much of yesterday severely on edge. It happens. Not often to me, but it does happen.
Anyways, there’s some decent discussion happening around the blogging world about how blog networks should pay bloggers. Some good discussion. Hell, it’s great discussion. Stirring up good […]
Pingdom recently ran a survey of 7 massive sites to see what they used behind the firewall.
I find a lot of this fascinating. For example, that TechCrunch only runs on 2 servers. I’d be scared crapless of running what is effectively a million-dollar/year business on anything less than 5 servers (2 web, 2 DB, 1 other) for […]
I’ve had a few people email and IM me saying my post earlier today came across really defensively and that I missed the point.
First, they say that all bloggers deserve to earn more. I completely agree. It’s one of the reasons you’ll be seeing us aggressively phase out AdSense this year (unless AdSense does some […]
It’s been an interesting week of criticism of b5media. We’ve been criticized for everything from selling a site that we never sold (the blogger was confused), to buying a site at a discount and turning a profit almost instantly, to our entire industry failing, to now not paying our bloggers enough.
Personally I think this is […]
Haha. For the first time ever, I filled my Gmail:
“You are currently using 2820 MB (99%) of your 2820 MB.”
Couldn’t even SEND an email, lol. I’ve just emptied my spam, trash and drafts and I’m down to 94% used. Craziness I say! Craziness!

I don’t often talk about lifestyle stuff on here, mainly because my lifestyle sometimes sucks. Between too much travel, a love of gaming and an overly busy lifestyle the truth is that my life isn’t anywhere near as balanced as I’d like. One of the things that suffers as a result is my weight. If […]
Like many other folk, I caught the news that Google has begun reporting subscriber numbers. Like most folk, I probably dismissed the news as vaguely interesting and something to look into later.
This morning, when I checked b5’s FeedBurner subscriber numbers and saw that we’d broken 50K subscribers I basically chalked it up to a mixture […]
As a last minute decision, Aaron and I are heading down to SXSW to mingle, mangle and … moongle… or something…
If you’re going and want to hook up, let me know. I’m expecting a few lively debates, some mashing up and, hell, maybe a few relationships might get patched up while we’re there :-)

I’ve dropped MyBlogLog from Ensight. Nothing wrong with the service at all. Nothing to do with Yahoo acquisition. The first week of it was cool. The second was alright. Eventually it just because something that sat there though. As an experiment it was interesting. I can see why some bloggers really like it. It just […]
