- Google Image Search - Sponsored Link spotted in the wild!October 3

I was just doing an image search using Google Images and saw a sponsored image result. I don’t even think the everyday person has access to doing this kind of advertisement with Google AdWords:
- Do you know a LAMP/PHP freelancer? Recommend them to me (for their sake)October 2
-
OK, for my sake too. I’m looking for someone that’s a rockstar PHP/LAMP champ — and a Javascript champ too. I’m looking to pay for now — but I really want to find someone that I can have a long-term business relationship with. I’m looking for my programming soul-mate.
Anyhow, please forward this post to anyone you know that might be interested in some freelance work. I’m looking for someone that’s passionate, hungry, smart, and wanting to learn more. Email me via my contact form, or do an ‘@stp’ twitter reply to me.
P.S. I know I’ve been gone way too long from blogging, maybe someday I shall return. For now, I’m busy on a few projects. The ideas still flow though and I’m always open to giving input to anyone that wants a raw opinion on anything they’re working on - just hit me by email via my contact form.
- Sponsor me in Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation walkSeptember 7

Hello!
I’m walking in the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation annual walk this coming Saturday [1 week from yesterday]. I have a bunch of friends that are affected by Crohn’s [as well as IBD] and there is no cure for the diseases. This foundation that I’m raising money for is looking for a cure and they also work to improve the lives of adults and children that have these diseases.Any contribution (even $10) that you can give would help this foundation to keep focused on curing these diseases and improving the lives of those affected.Donate here:If you’re able to come out for the walk, it’s at the Buffalo Zoo / Delaware Park, registration is 9am, the walk is at 11am. You can click the link above to join our team as well [team: There’s Something About Mary].[Please feel free to forward this email to anyone that may have interest in contributing]Thanks!-PoPoaka Steve Poland - Evaluating Criteria for your Web 2.0 Business IdeaAugust 8

I’d like to start a discussion about evaluating your business ideas — and determining which one to run with and build a start-up out of.
What criteria do you feel are important? How can each of those criteria be evaluated?
Here’s an initial list of what I’m thinking:
- Competition - who’s doing it, or similar, and what’s your competitive advantage?
- 1st User - how do you get user #1?
- Cost
- Time to market
- Ease or Difficulty of executing on the idea with your resources (team, funds)
- Virality - can it quickly grow
- Revenue - when and from where
- Content generation - will users be generating the content? will you?
What other factors do you think?
- My Design Should Follow Me; “First Dibs” on my usernameJuly 9
-
On Twitter, you can customize how your profile design appears to other users. It personalizes my page on Twitter to others.
All services I’m on should allow this — well, at least the ones that are similar [microblogging; blogging; myspace; etc].
I think it’d be great if there was a centralized storage of my simple design attributes [colors; bg image; etc] that web services could tap into, to immediately personalize their service to me.
It’d be great if I also could get “first dibs” on the usernames I like to use on web services. [This could be a service that I pay $5/yr for, or whatever, and they’ll email me each day/week when they secure a login for me –for my preferred username– at some new web service. Maybe MyBlogLog or FriendFeed would do this for me, because they’d likely know whether or not I have an account already with the “new” web service].
