I noticed that to mant people makes a mess. Way to many opionions. It makes it very difficult to make a decision.

With my designers  I like to have one broad brainstorm session to create lots of ideas. Let it soak for a week and then have a session with no more then 3 people. This is very effective for making decisions.

But like most of use we don’t have the time to write a lot of good content. And to be honest most of it already exists. But why bother when you can create content automatically:

- For Wordpress there are several rss feeds aggregators
- YACG; an open source content generator
- Fake science paper generator
- Our a high end program like the one form Thompson Financial

Biggest problem with this programs is that you get duplicate content and that is spammy according to Google. But then I came across the following:

true are false?

If you known more about this please let me know.

Ever heard over ‘Comment Kahuna‘? Well it is a free tool that helps you to find blogs for keywords you like to score for. Of course you can find blogs via Google Blog Search. But wouldn’t you like to find blogs for a particular keyword(s) AND with no nofollow on it’s links?

It is a bit of a Grey Heat tool, because you can make profiles with preset comments. Do not do tha, make good comments and people will start noticing you.

They made a chart showing IE 5 to IE8. It is funny to read that they think that internet explore was the first css Level1 - compliant version of IE.

A small step for man a giant step for …
