MyHeritage Celebrity Facial Matching
Just wanted to point out MyHeritage.com's facial recognition and matching software, which has given my girlfriend quite a thrill. It seems that I'm a 51% facial match to Cary Grant - she's glowing right now. ...

New TLD for Canadian Government
Thanks to Ian Mcanerin, who suggested the Canadian government's new TLD - .gov.ca (the humble fellow isn't taking credit, far too gentlemanly). The debate on what to choose was relatively interesting, with the French Canadian contigent complaining bitterly that .gouv.ca was not the choice. B...
Is Craigslist Blowing their Opportunity?
I talked to some very smart folks last night over dinner about Craigslist and their position in the market. Currently, CL is the leader in online classifieds, they've had great success porting their model to other cities and countries and they have a built-in loyalty and fan base that rivals that of any online user-generated-content site. The question is - w...
Happy Valentine's Day
I thought this site summed up the Internet's general feeling towards Valentine's Day. I'm not particularly against the day - it's always nice to go out to a fancy restaurant in a nice suit. I just wish it weren't so crowded or hard to get reservations... ...

Blog Infected by The LinkBait Monster
Alan Bellows' Damn Interesting is practically an entire collection of pure linkbait articles - the kind that not only make for good reading, but have to be linked to, emailed, and searched for at friend's houses in order to show them what they're missing. Just a quick dissection of how he does it so well: It's not just him - there's a...

StumbleUpon.com
Anybody getting good traffic from StumbleUpon.com? That site first started getting my attention a few months ago while examining my logs. I didn't think that it would be a serious source of traffic but the referrals have gone up and now I am avera...
Remember the "Back to Work" Button?
Back in the days before the web, many of the MS Windows bundles games had "back to work" buttons that would open up a blank spreadsheet document on top of the game in order to "hide" a worker's activities from perusing bosses doing their walk around. Hilarious...

Re-designing SEOmoz
The re-design of SEOmoz has proven itself to be a very difficult and time consuming task, as you can see I'm still working on the header. Rand suggested I write a blog entry so you can all see how things are coming along and share in my turmoil. :) Some of the designs turned out okay, others are just plain horrible. I've found my best work comes by accident, so I often just ...

AJAX Powered IP to Location Lookup
In the midst of re-designing SEOmoz I decided I really needed a change of pace. I've only lightly used AJAX, so I decided to build an AJAX powered tool that looks up the geographic location of an IP address. It seemed simple enough to build and I figured it'd ...
Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the US
Dr. King is, to me, one of the greatest heroes of the modern era. Every year I find myself wishing I could do more to honor his memory and this year, there's a few sites on the web that are doing a great job: Reme...
Ferry Halim's Orisinal
No relation to SEO whatsoever, but Ferry Halim, a graphic and Flash game designer whose work astounds me has put together what is, in my opinion, his most addictive game yet. If you've never been to Orisinal, get ready to spend the rest of the ...
Craigslist Blocks Search Engines
According to a thread at SERoundtable, a few million results in Google (and other search engines) from Craigslist have dropped out due to a change in the robots.txt. The change must be very recent, as I had used Google to search CL just a week before the holidays. It's an interesting strategy from the classifieds giant - If anyon...
Mick's Selling Syndik8
The infamous Black Hat SEO forums are for sale - Mick's done a good job building up the community there. Let's hope it stays in good hands. It sounds like offers should be $10K+, so make sure you're serious if you want to bid. The traffic and revenue details are also listed - I'd imagine it carries a valuable advertising spac...
