Who Will Buy The iPhone 5 (or 4S)?
Ok, I’ll say it. I’m not so sure the iPhone 5 is going to be a raging success. In fact, I think only two groups of people are going to buy one. And there are two huge groups that are not likely to buy, and that’s going to be a problem. Let’s start with who [...]

Keep Calm and Optimize
“Never be daunted. Secret of my success. Never been daunted. Never been daunted in public,” says Bill in Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. Good advice. It’s true for SEO too. The other day I was on a call with Phoenix search engine optimization guru, James Constable, and he realized the audience was daunted. They needed [...]

Dappered Moves to Rackspace
This weekend, Dappered.com moved into the Rackspace Cloud. We’re excited to be there. I’ll share stats here soon, but it looks like we’re already seeing quicker response times. So far I’ve found their reputation for fanatical service to be absolutely true. I love being able to jump on chat and immediately having somebody available. And [...]

Welcome to WordPress, artofwilderness.com!
Welcome to WordPress, artofwilderness.com! Bob’s wildlife art and environmental interpretation site is now live. It’s got a pretty slick ‘static’ implementation of WordPress, if I do say so myself.

Nice Logo, @TechCrunch, Now Fix Your Mobile Site (And Your Comments)!
I like the TechCrunch redesign. It’s simpler, which is good. It gets out of your way and makes the site easier to read. They didn’t do a Gawker and muck it all up with bullshit tablet UI and all sorts of jazz-hands crap. It’s good. But they’ve got some loose ends: Upgrade to WPTouch Pro Dappered [...]

Honestly, The Winklevoss Remora Should Have Bought MySpace, Here’s Why
A few minutes ago, I jokingly tweeted: “@tylerwinklevoss and @winklevoss should have bought @myspace and shown @finkdwhat’s up.” Now I’m starting to actually think I’m right. Here’s why: These guys are fighting the perception that they’re just suckerfish on the Zuckerberg shark. If they honestly think they’re the brains behind Facebook, they should use their brains to eclipse [...]

Interest in Blake Lively’s Ass Resumes
After a bit of a lull, my post about Blake Lively’s ass-shaking booty dance on SNL is popular again. Wonder if it’s because of the leaked photos. Probably. Maybe she’s got a movie coming up. Regardless, thanks for the traffic bump, Ms. Lively’s rump. photo credit: NicoleAbalde

I Like Jay-Z’s New Life + Times Site
I’m a big WordPress fan, so it was nice to see Jay-Z’s Life + Times site (lifeandtimes.com) running my favorite CMS. Not only that, they’re using my favorite commenting platform, Disqus. Well done, Mr. Z. The clean, grid layout is very slick and works thanks to the site’s simplicity. It’ll be interesting to see how [...]

Should You Use CloudFlare? I’m Not Anymore.
Oh, CloudFlare. The potential cure for all sorts of bandwidth-related internet issues. We need to breakup. Here’s why: Yes, CloudFlare, you tanked my search traffic. I thought maybe that was my fault. But then Debbie and Anurag complained too. Three times is a pattern, buddy. You break sites. It may be temporary, but that’s not [...]
