@chrisbrogan: thanks. that’s a compliment. evil tip #2: instead of deleting links, redirect them to a competitor and move Google Juice!
@matthewebel I had plenty of good news today. I just can’t disclose it publicly :)
Tip: if you ever need to declare someone an unperson and exile them, use a SQL replace command and update your wordpress install all at once

@Dayngr: why, remove all links from my blogs and podcasts. No Google juice, digital exile. Declared an unperson.
@Dayngr: exactly right. I had one musician recently really piss me off. What was the most damaging thing I could do to them?

@newmediajim: I have too much gear to carry in a backpack. What do the pros use to lug around a cam plus accessories on the road?
@dough: worth profiling @amandagravel’s On the PRowl?
@dough: cost/benefit analysis suggests vote. no harm in doing so, and if someone feels better about themselves, great.

Adobe brings advertisements to PDF →
I’m not sure how this slipped under my radar, but Adobe announced yesterday a program for PDF publishers to include Yahoo’s PPC ads in dynamic PDF advertising.
Think about the implications for content producers. All those white papers, all those articles and documents you write? They can be monetized in a PPC format. eBooks. Newspapers. Magazines. Journals. Zine. Article repositories.
Think...
Every time I think I’ve got it, the game changes. The game is changing again.

many thanks to everyone on PDF page length - good to know for choosing fonts (screen readable vs print readable) and styles
Facebook pages are public, but nofollow on your URLs. Ah well.
