How-To: Mooch Traffic to Your Blog
Posted by junger - 07/11/06 at 03:07:31 pmI'm of the camp that there is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to mooch traffic to your blog. However — and this is a BIG however — if you don't learn the mooching techniques properly and instead treat every traffic opportunity as an open marketing platform, you will very easily be shunned, black-listed and every other bad thing that can happen.
So what are the best ways to mooch some traffic to your blog?

The Irony: Reuters Slams Wikipedia's Credibility, Issues Own Correction
Posted by junger - 07/10/06 at 07:07:14 pmThe most classic part of this whole Wikipedia-Ken Lay-Reuters story (as described here and here) is the fact that the original Reuters story, which said Lay's death "underscored the challenges facing online encyclopaedia Wikipedia," contained a major error.

Girl Thinks She is Jack Bauer's Other Daughter, MySpace's It
Posted by junger - 06/22/06 at 04:06:04 pmI was browsing around Wikipedia today, specifically the entry for Jack Bauer, when I noticed an oddity under the "Trivia" section: Jack and Teri had another daughter, named "Cassandra- Joanner Bauer (aka 'CJ'), who (in a twist of fate) was adopted by Lynn McGill after Jacks 'death'." Huh? I'm probably one of the biggest 24 fans out there, and I've never heard of this.
