NFL decides to Ban Twitter!

max — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 08:57:53 +0000

Seriously, I think the NFL executives (or whatever they call the decision makers there) have no brains at all. NFL has officially “banned” use of Twitter by players or their representatives before, during, and after the game. (I would tell the NFL players to start a Twitter revolution. It’s time the players make decisions! After all, NFL isn’t NFL without the players.)

Say it aint so, Ochocinco! One of the NFL’s biggest personalities and one of Twitter’s most engaging celebrities indicated (via tweet) this afternoon that he’ll be deleting his account on the microblogging service “due to the many rules the NFL has made.”

WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY DO THAT?!?

So they can get LESS exposure for NFL? Geez, Twitter has to be the best tool for promoting sports.

I hope they learn their lesson and stop being ridiculous. Boo NFL executives, Boo~ You guys need to grow up and stop squawking and focus on what makes NFL better.

My advice to you NFL executives:

Don’t be a “squawker” or someone who constantly keeps “busy” for nothing important.

Blog DIY – How to Use GooseGrade to Fix Your Blog Post Grammer and Spelling!

max — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:55:27 +0000

GooseGrade one of those friendly companies I talk to at the Web 2.0 Expo this year. It’s a social networking site where people can submit their grammatical/spelling errors to be corrected by members of GooseGrade, who also earn status based on their previous corrections.

(You can read about exactly what the site is about by reading previous reviews from TechCrunch and ReadWriteWeb.)

At the Web 2.0 Expo, GooseGrade has launched a new Wordpress Plugin that will allow your readers and GooseGrade members to correct your blog posts. It’s a free service and if you are always running out of time like me, this Wordpress plugin can help you correct/edit/finalize your blog posts, mostly done by your readers while you approve of their correction if any are found.

I think this is a cool service and more bloggers should take advantage of it. Based on their market research, people tend to visit blogs more often when there are no grammatical/spelling errors. Probably true and I am guilty of not re-checking my blog posts too.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts on how well it worked for you @zedomax2.

Here’s the video of how the Wordpress plugin works:

Twitter Hack – How to Make a Twitter Power Meter!

max — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 06:12:46 +0000

Twitter has probably been the hottest growing social networking/microblogging service this year hands-down. Needless to say, its uses are endless and great for the DIY community for tinkerers, makers and alike.

Without further due, I announce Lady Ada’s new Tweet-A-Watt power meter system so you will know exactly how much energy your “twittering” is costing you.

I did a detailed write-up over at the new Twitter Hacks blog, here’s a brief summary:

I remember meeting Lady Ada (@adafruit) at Maker Faire back in 2007, she was ALWAYS working on something new. It seems that she just released a DIY kit called Tweet-A-Watt, a wireless power meter that will tweet your power usage to any desired Twitter account, you can see a demo here of it working live @tweetawatt.

The Tweet-A-Watt is basically composed of wireless RF XBee modules, Arduino (or even your computer, I do highly recommend Comfile’s CUBLOC modules too which are easily programmed in BASIC), USB FTDI module, and other electrical components.

For those of you who want to monitor individual power outlets, this Tweet-A-Watt might be the perfect twattering tool. I do also have to add that the kit is only $90, not a bad investment for a really fun Twitter Hack project.

FriiBlog.com in the works, need beta testers!

max — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 06:51:50 +0000

Well, I have been messing around with more web software (as usual). Last year, I made SiteHoppin, which is a complete hack job of open source MediaWiki, the same software that powers Wikipedia.

This year, (actually just last night) I am messing with Wordpress MU and BuddyPress, both which combined gives you some sort of blogging social network.

Anyways, I need some beta testers to work out kinks and feedback on what users want.

If you need a free blog, you can make a blog over here at FriiBlog.com for free. Yes, also if you make a blog at FriiBlog, you will get all the Wordpress plugins I use. (basically you get on the inside of what I use… hint hint)

I am even thinking of porting my whole blog network over to Wordpress MU and let people make their own blogs too… well…

SiteHoppin Offers Better Click-Through-Ratio over Entrecard and Spottt!

Here’s a little explanation of why you should use a SiteHoppin Widget over Entrecard and Spottt. SiteHoppin offers the best exchange ratio on the market today, drop Entrecard/Spottt and start using the best widget system on the internet today.

In short, SiteHoppin offers 1:1 exchange ratio, meaning we send you 1 unique visitor per 1 unique visitor you send us using the SiteHoppin widgets.

In comparison, Spottt offer 2:1 exchange ratio, meaning you only get 1 visitor per 2 visitors you send them. (Plus, Spottt doesn’t have a unique visitor system, they use “impressions” meaning their system can easily be gamed. Our SiteHoppin system, on the other hand, uses fraud-detection algorithm to keep track of “unique” visitors.)

As for comparing to Entrecard, SiteHoppin widgets let you “Set It and Forget It”, just like Ronco’s chicken machine. (You don’t have to spend hours of your valuable time dropping meaningless Entrecards. We let you focus on blogging so you don’t need to drop.)

Drop Entrecard/Spottt and start using SiteHoppin Widgets.

SiteHoppin Re-Launched as Domain Search Engine!

max — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:40:01 +0000

One of my greatest websites I ever made (and hard-coded all myself) using MediaWiki open-source as base platform is SiteHoppin.com.

SiteHoppin has been re-launched as a domain search engine. Basically, it’s like Digg but we only store your URL infomation, no content whatsoever other than previews under iFrames.

You can also submit your blog/website URLs as they will get indexed by Google and other search engines much quicker.

Due to time constraints and the fact that SiteHoppin wasn’t generating any revenue, I had to put the project on hold while I took the time to rejuvenate all the blogs in our Zedomax Blog Network.

Anyways, SiteHoppin was launched on January 1st, 2008. It’s getting to its anniversary soon so I’ve been spending more time fixing stuff. Plus, I think this SiteHoppin site is a hidden jem on the internet. It’s a site that lets you check out random sites in the domain search engine database too.

You will notice the SiteHoppin button on this blog on the upper-right corner. If you press it, it will basically let you “site hop” Zedomax.com and other sites I have visited in the past. (I intend to sell this randomizing technology for large companies in the near future so randomizing can be outsourced to SiteHoppin instead of taking up MySQL processing power on your server. This is really great for large sites where randomizing can be very costly.)

I have just started developing SiteHoppin again as of couple days ago so there’s a LOT of fixing/bugs/upgrades that need to be done.

While that’s being done, don’t hesistate to press that “SiteHoppin” button to find out what it’s all about.

I’ve been giving out free Beer Credits, so if you want some, all you have to do is sign up and we will hook you up. =)

SiteHoppin Private Beta Toolbar v.1.3 is now out, which integrates online tagging/hopping together.

What does it do?

Basically, it allows you to “hop” your favorite bookmarks using tags. (I cut down about 20 minutes of time in browsing tech blogs I go to. You could probably save a lot of time using this function if you visit 10-20 same sites daily)

We still got a lot of improving to do but the beta version is out so get it here. (If you need an invite, send me an e-mail at zedomax [at] gmail.com)

I had a chance to stop by Snap’s booth AGAIN after seeing them AdTech. So, I finally got Brendon to talk to me about their new publisher program that pays you for using Snap.com on your site.

Btw, Snap.com is a free service that gives you a snapshot of the hyperlinked URL when you hover over it.
I had this on some of my “failed” social networking sites over here.

By using their publisher program (which I believe is by invitation only), you can get a share of their ad revenue from those snap shots. Of course, you need some good quality content and minimum traffic of 250,000 views or more per month.

I will be e-mailing Brendon soon and try out the publisher program to see if I can get better results than I am with my other advertisers. I will have another review in about a month to tell you how it worked so make sure to subscribe to Zedomax!

(Thanks again Brendon, for the explanation of your new program!)

Jeffrey Walker, President of Atlassian.com, explains the benefits and some bullet-points about running Enterprise Wikis over at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco.

Atlassian, is btw, a company that specializes in Enterprise Wikis built for organizing large companies.

What is interesting to me is that these “wikis” have been replacing e-mails, documents, and all sorts of other technology of large companies.

Although it will still takes years before consumers can benefit from this technology, it’s good to learn from the guy behind one of the largest Enterprise Wiki companies.

I believe the technology is out there but we need more folks like Jeffrey who can integrate that into companies and also individuals.

Web2.0 Expo – Stewart Mader from Wikipatterns Interviewed!

If you don’t know wikis, it might be a good time for you to get familiar as wikis have not been fully utilized as blogs have been. (Before you know it, the world will become a “wiki wiki” world…)

As a wiki fanatic myself as I have built the world’s first-ever MediaWiki based social networking site, I am a collector of any new books related with wikis in general.

One of the books that I haven’t gotten a hold of was, wikipatterns by Stewart Mader, creator of wikipatterns.com. I am a big fan of anyone who’s creating new sites with wikis so…

What intrigued me about his creation Wikipatterns.com, is the idea itself, not really the software built on it. I am still dumbfounded about what wikipatterns exactly is but Stewart was nice enough to explain it to me in plain English at Web2.0 Expo today:

I will probably do another write-up after I finish the book so hold on while I get all that wiki stuff in my head and spit it back out to you readers in plain English.

Wikipatterns, btw, is based on Wiki software by Atlassian, a company who specialized in Enterprise Wikis.

We will have a short video re-cap by Atlassian’s president, Jeffrey Walker in a little bit, explaining further the advantages of using wikis to replace e-mails and documents.

Yahoo’s version of Digg – Yahoo Buzz!

Lol…it looks like Yahoo is trying to get a share of the social networking market. Check out Yahoo Buzz, it could create a lot of traffic for your site if you become a publisher.

Check out the About page, sorta very similar to Digg huh? Remember AOL try to do the same thing with Netscape? I think Yahoo would do a little better, possible better than Digg. With all the black market for Diggs, Stumbles, and what not, Yahoo could prove to be the winner in the long run.

Go Yahoo!

The buzz can be about anything – a great story on a major news site, an extraordinary bit from an obscure site, an intriguing video, or a fantastic blog that shouldn’t be missed.
Instead of editors, people like you determine the top-rated stories.
A story is ranked based on its Buzz Score. The score is derived from search term popularity, the number of times a story is emailed from Buzz, and the number of votes a story receives.
Stories with the highest Buzz Scores may be published on the Yahoo! home page – you can impact what millions will see on Yahoo!

Traffic Explosion with SiteHoppin

max — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 07:10:11 +0000

This post was guest-blogged by Adriaan from i am jack’s design. (Send your guest blog posts to guest@zedomax.com to get them published for free)

SiteHoppin’ is a new social bookmarking site, combining some of the popular features of sites like StumbleUpon or del.ici.ous, with a few unique twists.

At SiteHoppin’, users can discover new and interesting sites quickly and easily with the site’s simple interface. Sites are broken down into categories and by tags for even easier browsing of sites you might enjoy. In addition to browsing sites in the SiteHoppin’ system, users can also rate each one on a scale of 1 to 5 beers. The scores are tabulated and the highest rated sites appear on a special “Most Popular” page.

SiteHoppin’ is built on a heavily modified version of the popular wiki software MediaWiki and is also compatible with a variety of mobile browsers (so you can SiteHop from the comfort of your shiny new iPhone).

User Benefits While anyone can use SiteHoppin’ to hop around to different sites you’ll probably want to register for an account. When you make a free account at SiteHoppin’ you get access to features regular visitors do not. Registered users can bookmark their favorite sites and share them with their friends, leave site reviews for visitors to see and have SiteHoppin’ remember all of your SiteHops so that you never see the same site twice.

Site Owner Benefits If you run a website it’s definitely worth registering with SiteHoppin’ and submitting your site, blog or articles into the system. As a site gets more beer votes it will rise in popularity and lead to more traffic. This is another opportunity to cash in on the viral marking and social networking traffic explosion happening online today.

While it is new, SiteHoppin’ is still a unique and interesting player in the social bookmarking scene. Anyone interested in an easy and fun way to find new web sites or those of you looking for new ways to promote sites of your own should give SiteHoppin’ a try.

DIY HACK – HOWTO Hack StumbleUpon using StumbleBots!

max — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:19:07 +0000

Well, I have never used these methods before, but I hopped onto it the other day so I might as well share it with the world.

There are 2 stumblebot sites, stumblebot.com and stumblebot.net.

Stumblebot.com is actually a software they sell for like $147, it’s sorta like those Craigslist automators.

It looks like it’d work pretty good. But I wouldn’t pay for it, I think StumbleUpon itself is becoming a big scam where people are making a lot of money from it.

The seconds site, I found while trying to sell my site on SitePoint. It seems like they listed this site right after I listed my sites. So, that’s how I found about these two.

I believe there’s even more sites out there where you can buy stumbles and reviews. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Anything that can be hacked will be hacked and you can only blame on the developers who didn’t think through everything beforehand. Anything that can not be hacked on the other hand, deserves a pat on the back.

If you ever try these sites, let me know if they work. Not that I’d use it, I rather go SiteHoppin w/o installing a toolbar.

Oh yeah, I just found StumblePorn too. I tried it but it’s way too slow and sucks…

The biggest pyramid “splog” scam in this world today – StumbleUpon =Spambleupon

max — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 05:34:01 +0000

Okay, I will have to tell you the truth tonight about one of the biggest social networking sites, SpambleUpon, or most people call it, StumbleUpon.

They are making so much money off bloggers, basically StumbleUpon “scrapes” bloggers’ content and makes millions of dollars off you! Even though no one has really “sued” them, they are in big trouble if bloggers start sueing them one by one.

Google should really ban them for “splogging”, every one of SU users’ blogs are “splogs” made up of content written by bloggers like you and me. (My traffic actually boosted after SU banned me, I think I was getting penalized for duplicate content by using SU. Besides, don’t rely on backstabbing social networks who make millions dollars off your content and simply ban you later for “spamming”??? Are you kidding? Go look at my DIYs, they are all original. Lol…at least my blog isn’t full of splogs. Here’s a post you can read about how to protect yourself against splogs although it won’t work with SU.)

Why?

Well, every “blog”, they say, is a “splog”, every image consisting of an image scraped off a “copyright protected” blog (Mind you, every “blog” is actually naturally protected from scraping, this site has about 10 other sites’ images w/o their written permission) . So, we simply took at the most top-left blog on their “Top Stumbler” list.

Well here it is:

As you can see, the image is “scraped” off another “original” blog. If you go to any of their “splogs”, the results is the same. They almost store 0% of their “splogs” images on their servers and simply scrape and live off other blogs. SU is like a real big mosquito that lives off your blood, your blog post that “you” wrote and uploaded images. Their future will only rely on other bloggers’ content and NEVER their own.

So, what can you do?

You can always file a “copyright enfrigement” notice and lawsuit to SU, which their headquarters addresses I couldn’t even find, AND uninstall that hideous toolbar that takes too much of your life, time, and 50 pixels of height on your browser. (Most of their admins are “fake” people behind stupid 50×50 pixel images. They “pretend” they created a special technology when I could re-create a similar service within days.)

Then, simply head over to SiteHoppin, where every site is not “splogged” and is simply “bookmarked”.

Okay, here’s the 5 second wrap up:

1. Every blog on StumbleUpon is a “splog” made up of scraped images and text from other blogs

2. The only reason they don’t get sued is because they send websites traffic and a lot of website owners are happy about that.

3. Every blog in the world has now a “copyright enfringement” against SpambleUpon. If your content is on SU, you deserve the right to sue them for scraping your content.

Now, we don’t have to sue them. You do. So, in all, just stay away from these SpambleUpon guys and stick with the American Dream, SiteHoppin, where “real” developers develop w/o scraping bloggers’ content.

Now maybe we may be a little bitter but at least we fight for our right to be conscious about the “real truth” behind everything. Yeah, SU fucked up this time bad….real bad…let the truth be known even if you do continue to use SU, you will remember this when you get banned.

Here’s the address to send your copyright infringement letters about their “Splogs”: (This is the only real contact info you can find on their site baby)

DIY Webmaster – Do not put all your web traffic in one basket!

max — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 04:15:06 +0000

In recent encounter with StumbleUpon, we have received about the same amount of traffic regardless. As you can see in the above graph, StumbleUpon only really helps those with small traffic. With out latest press release, we will be suing StumbleUpon for Copyright enfringement. That’s right. They don’t have the guts to take it outside and get their ass beat by me so I will have to take them to court. Thanks a lot SU, for leaving that copyright enfringement on forever, which I have already copied on to my harddrive, servers, my 4gb flash, ipod, you name it bitch.

On top of it, they used some “under-the-table” methods to take my rankings to zero on Alexa although my StatCounter.com says I have the same amount of traffic.

Why would a web giant bought by eBay go through this? I think they are dumb, that’s my honest opinion. No matter what, they will never stop Zedomax.com from saying what’s true and what’s not. The truth? I helped them gain more stumblers and visitors. That’s right. I controlled the black market of SU simply by providing them with more traffic. Yet, they have the balls to go against me for helping them and they listen to their stupid ass “spam” stumblers more than loyal customers like me.

Don’t worry, we are gonna sue them for copyright enfringement. That’s right. They took my whole post of writing and put it on their main SU discussion page. I already copied most it so, don’t even bother erasing. You guys are fucked as hell for disturbing a blog/wiki/social network business.

C you in court, happy site hoppin!

The lesson learn here?

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Go digg, stumble, reddit, and make it the same. Don’t depend on one big guy, because one day, he will fuck you over like SU did to me. At least, I got something to sue them big time.

What’s StumbleUpon afraid of?

max — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 16:29:44 +0000

In a recent encounter with StumbleUpon’s banning of 20 accounts in our network, we have conjured up a little bit of something we read in a book by Guy Kawasaki, “How to drive your competition crazy.” In the book, there’s an example of how Ben & Jerry’s turned a law-suit into an hilarious marketing victory.

Here’s our version on StumbleUpon’s latest diplomatic policies:

Do you think the Stumbleboy is afraid of two guys working in a rented apartment of 800 square feet?

Do you think the Stumbleboy is afraid he’s only going to make $61.3 million in profits instead of $61.8 million?

Do you think that maybe the Stumbleboy is afraid of the American Dream?

We only want to make the most fun site and let people of the internet make their choice on the internet, where guys like us can compete with guys like the Stumbleboy.

Next time you are surfing the web, uninstall that hideous looking 50 pixel StumbleUpon toolbar that takes up too much of your browser space and start using “extension-less” SiteHoppin. Because to tell you the truth, that’s what the Stumbleboy is really afraid of.

Hey, if you wanna help us and fight this bs, put this drunken button on your blog. We will add you to our blogroll so you go up with us when our press release go out tomorrow.

DIY HACK – HOWTO drop more Entrecards than your neighbor!

Okay, if you want to be a dumba*s and don’t listen to people who are smarter, fu*k off and stop reading this post. If you are a smartass like me, then do listen carefully as I am going to show you how to shave 10 hours of your stupid ass “Entrecard” clickin’.

Simply goto SiteHoppin.com and choose “Entrecard” or the topic you desire. (Right now, we only have a couple Entrecard topics as we are still getting drunk but check back later for more topics)

Then, simply click on the “SiteHoppin” button and you go to the next blog with an Entrecard widget where you can drop cards like BOOM SHAKALAKA baby!

Okay, that was the secret. Make sure to not tell or blog to any dumba*ses and we will be fine with that. If you want to listen to any dumba*ses who still says a bunch of bookmarks work, then great, don’t ever talk to him/her again. (we are just kididng, did you get that? LOL…) There, you got it straight from the man who controls the black market on the net.

Yes, we know we are evil and we hacked Digg, StumbleUpon, you name it. Everything can be hacked although we didn’t hack this one, we just let you save some time for pointless clicking. (and yes, it’s shameless promotion again!)

Why BlogRush will die and SiteHoppin will exponentially grow!

max — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 04:02:23 +0000

Remember I did a review of Blogrush and Entrecard right before Entrecard started taking off?

Well, here’s why BlogRush will die and SiteHoppin will exponentially grow! (Sorry John, we are just using your site as comparison, no pun intended)

1. SiteHoppin is like a dog. Well, here’s how I got that analogy. I don’t own a dog but I do love dogs and my parents have dogs. During the last few days I was taking care of Za, my girlfriend’s brother’s dog, I have come to realize that SiteHoppin is like a dog who takes a leak here and there so other dogs can find it and mark their territory.

What the heck does that have to do with exponentially growing? Well, dogs like to mark their territories everywhere they go. They will only “mark” their spots in certain location they sense the “smell”. I don’t know how they do it. But it’s how dogs interact or communicate with each other. Basically, every time you take a leak, you are leaving a trace for the other dogs.

Well, SiteHoppin is no different. Every time you visit a site on SiteHoppin, you are marking your territory on someone’s site. Those site owners find out through site stats and get to know SiteHoppin and start using it to promote their sites. You can see some of the stats here to see what I mean here on the new SiteHoppin blog.

So, what the heck is the point of the story? Nothing. We are thanking everyone who has signed up for SiteHoppin’ and we promise the first-comers will get massive traffic in return.

As you can see in the above graph, we should be able to eclipse BlogRush very soon if our traffic keeps rising. In just 7 days since our public beta launch, we have gained at least 50% as much as traffic as Blogrush. (not that that’s a real accomplishment…) Join the new phenomenon, go try out SiteHoppin as it’s being developed LIVE! (It’s like watching a cooking show on TV, kinda like IronChef where you get to “see” the process)

Well, we will stop selling our new wiki technology here and start blogging more about other CES 2008 stuff.

Here’s the fun part:

Check out the pageviews of SiteHoppin vs. Zedomax.com. SiteHoppin gets almost 3 times more pageviews! I guess that’s probably from all the people that are SiteHoppin’… :p

My friend Gyutae is having a contest for T-shirts and $100 in CASH!

max — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 04:40:19 +0000

My blogger friend Gyutae is having a contest for T-shirts and $100 in cash. All you gotta do is pick the right winner and write a blog post about it. (It seems like there’s so many contests these days, you could probably make a living just entering all of them)

My vote goes to Gyutae’s Winning the Web since he’s always coming up with new contests. He’s blog got a big 200 RSS reader jump from his contest on JohnChow.com and JohnCow.com. (Amazing!) (You should take look at Bloggin-Ads.com by Mike too, he picked up about the same in about the same period! I think these 2 bloggers are really growing their blogs explosively. I remember when Zedomax started out almost a year and half ago and I had 200 RSS readers in like 1 year, not just couple months.)

Why am I posting this? Well, honestly, I can’t even afford a T-shirt right now as I invested all my money in SiteHoppin.com. (Well, for the beers I need to drink to be drunk to develop the site…right, it’s like the Drunken style in Kung Fu, you can’t master the art without actually putting yourself in it) I wanna win a T-shirt so I can go wear it proudly in downtown San Francisco. (j/k… I’ve been in front of a computer for so long for last couple months, I don’t even know the last time I went shopping…)

The real funny part is picture from TylerCruz here:

Also check out Gyutae’s post on 11 ways to maximize your blog subscribers:

Follow a set posting schedule
Following a set schedule will help your readers connect to your blog and learn when to expect new posts. This usually means more subscribers to your blog.

Provide great content
In the end, it’s all about great content. Without it, all of your marketing efforts will fall short of meeting your goals for feed subscribers. Make this a priority and the subscriptions will come.

In the end, I think Gyutae is winning the web by far. You can tell by looking at his blog and the number of subscribers he has picked up within the last month or so. This blog should be exploding by next month if it isn’t already.

How SiteHoppin’ will virally increase Blog’s traffic and users’ blogs

max — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 22:22:06 +0000

There’s been a lot of questions regarding our new site, SiteHoppin’, so I will show you briefly how it will virally increase a blog’s traffic.

Instead of typing URL or using a bookmarking system like Del.icio.us, users will start using SiteHoppin’ to tag their favorite sites and go “site hoppin’” daily.

How will increase traffic for your blog? Well, simply, if you submit your blog to SiteHoppin with the tag.

The greatest part is that it doesn’t end there. Since SiteHoppin’ also has “random” hopping feature for non-bloggers or people who want to simply hop new sites, your blog will randomly show up at various different times.

As user base grows on SiteHoppin’, blogs who are in the system will automatically benefit from users randomly “hopping” onto their blogs.

The more blogs that exist on SiteHoppin’, the more it will be advertised and the more traffic it will bring to blogs.

This effect will probably go virally crazy and we just hope blog don’t take over the whole SiteHoppin’.

If all the above explanation is too hard to understand then just imagine this:

SiteHoppin’ is a social networking site that brings you extra traffic just like Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, or whatever. The only difference is that you get a hit along with a hit to SiteHoppin’.

In other words, it’s a “browser” within your browser. Great thing is that you don’t have to install any Browser extensions. You can be anywhere in the world, even on your iPhone, and you only have to remember one site, SiteHoppin.com. It’s simply a great way to browse the internet and bring traffic to your sites.

BTW, I kinda did take the “g” off Hopping, following Bloggin-Ads.com’s cool name. Yes, Mike, I did kinda take it from your name…LOL…I will have to add that info to the About page so you get extra hits if this site blows up.

Drunken Update and Drunken Development

max — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 06:51:45 +0000

As I am running out of money to live and keep up websites, it’s seems like getting drunk everyday helps me forget all that.

On top of all that, I am so drunk off my mind while trying to develop our new site, SiteHoppin.com.

The reason? Well, you need to be able to be in the same mind frame as someone who’d be using the site and the site is all about having a beer in your hand while you go “site hoppin’”. So the developer needs to be highly drunk before trying to put content, which means I gotta get drunk out of my mind before I start editing any PHP code for the site.
This does remind me of the “drunken style” Kong Fu, which focuses on the fact that you confuse your enemy through your drunkenness…

On the bright side, SiteHoppin is the first site in the world ever to convert a MediaWiki into a social networking site. (by a professional drunk who can gulp down 3 Soju bottles in any day…)

Anyways, this is an honest drunken update and development update while gulping down a nice bottle of Soju. If you don’t know what Soju is, you should take a look at my Soju tree. Well, my Soju tree has grown a lot bigger now, I will post an update soon about it.

We did get the new “Tag Browing” function working but too lazy to update the site as it’s still the 3rd of January. We should have it up by tomorrow so you can “tag browse” blogs and save time.

Thanks to Mike from Bloggin-Ads for helping us send a buzz out on the internet. His blog is growing very quickly and already has 377 RSS readers in just couple months!

Thanks everyone, and remember to “hop some sites” if you have a beer in your hand or want to just mess around…

Okay, go check out SiteHoppin.com today and make sure to sign up for an account and upload your hideous Jpeg photo so everyone can see it.

You’ve been wondering why there were so few posts on Zedomax.com over the last 3 weeks, we have been working around the clock, through Christmas Eve and New Years to bring you brand new sites.

While they are in heavy development, you can check out our “live” progresses.

You are welcome to register for a username and play around with it until we get our new “tag browsing” function implemented and bunch of other stuff being added on.

You can check our .Net post for more details.

If you want to invest in the new SiteHoppin.com, shoot us an e-mail at zedomax [at] gmail.com. We are looking for some VC funding for this new big project. Basically, you will get pre-paid advertising for your investment. Although this idea is not fully cemented yet, you will be added to our priority list of investors to be alerted when the opportunity knocks.

On another bright 2008 New Years 4:30AM note, we are developing the domain name we bought, KnolProject.Net, to build a community of open source developers dedicated to making new “paid wiki” or “social networking wiki” sites using MediaWiki. Google’s new Knol Project is a great site but we will show you how to make something similar from scratch using MediaWiki and your imaginations and keyboard.

Google’s Knol Project Update – Lots of BUZZ on the Internet

max — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 00:20:37 +0000

Wow, it seems like search results for “Knol Project” is multiplying at the rate of every hour! It’s amazing how no one has really even tried this new Knol Project yet, there’s so much buzz going around the internet. We think Knol Project will be basically Google’s new knowledge database that will add nicely to their portfolio of search knowledge database.

Although we predict that Knol Project will never be close to Wikipeidia’s mass collaboration of information, Google’s new Knul Project could prove to be pivotal in providing useful information from authoratative sources such as real doctors and real professionals who practice their content, instead of having random people contributing to articles like Wikipedia.

We predict that their search results will still honor Wikipedia’s authority as long as Knol’s content isn’t any better. But if Knol proves otherwise, Wikipedia could be on its way to slow and tortourous death. (We doubt that though…)

In our efforts to keep up with Google’s latest Wiki project, we’ve got all the great news about the Knol Project in one post here:

EntreCard WINS – EntreCard beats BlogRush in Alexa Reach, Rankings, and Traffic!

max — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 20:08:43 +0000

UPDATE, don’t use Entrecard, they are backstabbing type of people.

Entrecard and Blogrush both have customer service problems. Blogrush died already and Entrecard will too soon.

Lately, I’ve been keeping a keen eye on my friend Graham Langdon, creator of Million Dollar Wiki. He has created a new site called EntreCard that allows bloggers to advertise for free on other blogger’s blogs. Basically, bloggers can trade 125×125 pixel ad spots.

Today, I got up and looked up on Alexa and found that EntreCard has finally beaten BlogRush in the numbers of Reach, Rankings, AND TRAFFIC!

As an evangelist user of EntreCard, I was really happy like I just snorted a line of cok* of something. (not that i do drugs….)

Here’s the wrap up:

As you can see, what EntreCard is doing is taking over BlogRush and its customers. It’s going to be a horrible slow death for BlogRush but who knows? Maybe they will get enough bad publicity out it and come back alive by copying EntreCard’s ideas.

Here we look at the Daily traffic Rank Trend for BlogRush vs. EntreCard. EntreCard clearly beats BlogRush and they are STILL on their way up whereas BlogRush is again, dying slowly.

The last graph shows Page Views for EntreCard vs. BlogRush. As you can see here, the problem with BlogRush is that once you put their widget, there is no other community groups or actions you can do whereas EntreCard is a vibrant blogger community where bloggers are actively trading invisible business cards.

Our prediction from last time is becoming more true and true.

This is the letter from John Reese that really pissed me off and I stopped using BlogRush:

We’ll be applying some quality guidelines and criteria to our
decision-making process. (We’ll be publishing these guidelines very
soon.) If a blog does not meet our guidelines and criteria, THEY
WILL BE REJECTED from the network and not allowed to join — i.e.
they won’t be able to serve our widget, refer other users, or have
their blog posts distributed across our network. They will have no
access to any BlogRush services.

Our members, like YOU, made it LOUD AND CLEAR to us… BlogRush needs
to only have members that have quality blog content — not blogs
filled primarily with ads and other spammy looking JUNK.

The only accurate way we’re going to keep these junk blogs out of our
network is to REVIEW EVERY SINGLE ONE BY HAND. And we’re willing to
do it to protect the integrity of our network. I don’t care what it
costs us to hire more people (if we need them) to review 100% of any
blog trying to join our network. We will be reviewing ALL OF THEM
from here on out.

Here’s what I say, “Take your stupid hype and your hype traffic and put it up your as*!”.

I don’t need the founder of a website telling me their technology sucks so much that they have to review every blog by hand (Is that like Web 0.5?). With a stupid founder like that, BlogRush will never succeed.

What BlogRush should have done:

BlogRush should have hired 3 PHP developers and tell them to develop a spider hack that checks for the language of the site and validity by checking values like Alexa rankings, Technorati rankings, etc…etc… Heck, I can even do this but I don’t have to send out a freaking 10 page email wasting everyone’s time.

Why are we so bitter? Don’t take it too seriously. (Remember our motto? Satiric opinions on Gadgets and Tech…Lol…)

Knols Project Followup – Google’s Knol Project reminds me of a Paid Wiki

max — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:23:28 +0000

Great thing that Google has come up with the Knols Project. (I think it’s pronounced “nol’s project” right?) It’s totally like the Million Dollar Wiki concept except they have more money and power to get “authoratative” writers on their content.

How is it like a paid wiki?

Well, Google offer revenue sharing as stated in their blog:

At the discretion of the author, a knol may include ads. If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with substantial revenue share from the proceeds of those ads.

Wow, that IS a paid wiki, just like the QuarterWiki and the One Buck Wiki. The only difference is that you don’t have to pay for pages in the beginning. I believe this is due to Google’s enourmous status as an Internet Giant with billions of dollars to spend on moderators, developers, and what not. We wish we could too but no we have to charge a small fee for each page.

Plus, there’s “one author” per page, just like the paid wikis. Google might have ripped off those ideas…

Regardless, this is a definite sign that Wikis are going to start taking over the world. (and Google will try to take over the world, literally…)

We encourage you to try out the new Knols Project if you do get an invitation and when they launch, we strongly suggest you take advantage of Google’s offer of revenue sharing.
(In case you can’t get an invitation and while you wait, you can take advantage of 100% revenue stream on the QuarterWiki, One Buck Wiki, or the Five Dollar Wiki.)

Is Google going too far? Go vote at TechCrunch!

Knols Project – Google is trying to compete with Wikipedia!

max — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 07:41:31 +0000

Google is trying to compete with Wikipedia with its new Knols Project. We don’t know how successful it will be as we have seen Google Video and Youtube before.

But one thing is for sure, Google is trying to get into the Wiki business. (Knol Project is very similar to our QuarterWiki, OneBuckWiki, EntreWiki, FiveDollarWiki, and other wikis that we are developing right now.)

The interface does look pretty neat from the screenshot here:

What amazes us is that we are trying to build the largest commercialized Wiki with our new QuarterWiki but Google is also making similar site. We don’t intend to compete with Google of course, but we think we are going in the right direction if the Big Guy thinks so too.

You can get to the new Knols Project login by going here:

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=knol

But unless you got an invite, you can’t access it. Does anyone want to give us an invite? We’d like to incorporate Knols’ features on our paid wiki sites before Knols’ launch date. Lol…we are being too honest here huh?

Here’s what the Google Knol Project is briefly about:

Knols will include strong community tools. People will be able to submit comments, questions, edits, additional content, and so on. Anyone will be able to rate a knol or write a review of it. Knols will also include references and links to additional information. At the discretion of the author, a knol may include ads. If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with substantial revenue share from the proceeds of those ads.

Once testing is completed, participation in knols will be completely open, and we cannot expect that all of them will be of high quality. Our job in Search Quality will be to rank the knols appropriately when they appear in Google search results. We are quite experienced with ranking web pages, and we feel confident that we will be up to the challenge. We are very excited by the potential to substantially increase the dissemination of knowledge.

We do not want to build a walled garden of content; we want to disseminate it as widely as possible. Google will not ask for any exclusivity on any of this content and will make that content available to any other search engine.

As always, a picture is worth a thousands words, so an example of a knol is below (click on the image twice to see the page in full). The main content is real, and we encourage you to read it (you may sleep better afterwards!), but most of the meta-data — like reviews, ratings, and comments — are not real, because, of course, this has not been in the public eye as yet. Again, this is a preliminary version.

I just wanted to give our readers heads up the latest buzz from Zedomax.Net. Our new QuarterWiki has been selling pages like hotcakes after a review on John Chow dot com. It seems that bad publicity has actually helped us sell more pages. 400 pages sold within last 10 hours. Get your pages before all the good ones for your niche get taken!Here’s a little description of what it is for those of you new to this:

The Quarter Wiki is a new paid online encyclopedia where you can buy your own page for just a quarter.

Unlike Wikipedia, you can add videos, RSS Feeds, Google Ads, and GoogleMaps to a page on the QuarterWiki.

More simply, QuarterWiki filters spam by charging a small fee for each page so you don’t have to deal with it.

To get started with QuarterWiki, sign up for an account and search for your desired words you’d like to purchase.

Here’s how to get more traffic to your website simply by making lots of friends on StumbleUpon:

Okay, here’s a simple way to get more traffic to your site by making friends on StumbleUpon.com.

Here’s how to do it:

1) Make friends on StumbleUpon.com with people who have similar interests as you do.

2) Once you have a good number of friends, use the “Send to” button and send your friends the site you want to bring more traffic to.

3) Next, send them an honest message of what you want them to do such as, “Can you stumble this?”.

4) Watch as your friends stumble your sites and your traffic spikes to extra 300 to 500 people per day.

5) Your friends will probably ask you to stumble their sites too. Make sure to return favors.

This is a great way since you can make lots of friends and network with other stumblers to promote your website and their websites.

Basically, you scratch their back and they scratch yours.

Why BlogRush will die and EntreCard will exponentially grow!

max — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 09:14:05 +0000

Update: Don’t use Entrecard, they are not to be trusted.

Here’s a quick post I did on the Net: (Digg It) Reason for this? I feel bitter about BlogRush about them saying crap about how people are cheating and on top it, I like this Graham Langdon guy, he’s a nice guy and a gentlemen.

I have been keeping a keen eye on the new project by creator of Million Dollar Wiki, Graham Langdon. His new EntreCard, a free widget for bloggers, allows bloggers to advertise and trade 125×125 pixel ads for free. The above is a Alexa web traffic charts comparing BlogRush and EntreCard. As you can see, BlogRush did get MASSIVE traffic in the beginning and slowly on its way downhill. On the other hand, EntreCard started very very SLOW, and seems to have caught up with BlogRush already. Once EntreCard gets out to even more bloggers, the viral effect will cause EntreCard to exponentially grow. Am I an EntreCard evangelist? Hell yes, because it’s a great advertising system built on great functionalities unlike BlogRush.

Now, you can see a close-up of what’s been happening between EntreCard and BlogRush in the last 4 weeks. I bet it won’t be more than 2 weeks before EntreCard eclipses BlogRush. What will happen to BlogRush? It will probably die and suffer massively while EntreCard “converts” BlogRush users to its own.

Our card is the one with One Buck Wiki and EntreWiki so, drop us a card!

The Quarter Wiki – a new paid Online Encyclopedia!

max — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 23:11:44 +0000

As you know, the team of moonlighters at Zedomax.Net has been working on new paid wikis. We belive this concept of paid wikis will blow up soon and we have just started diggin’.

We first made Five Dollar Wiki, One Buck Wiki, then EntreWiki.

Now, we introduce you to the new younger brother, The Quarter Wiki where you can buy a page for just a quarter!

That’s right, our motto for this new site is, “In Wiki We Trust”.

We are still working on some functionalities of the site, so don’t blame us if you find a page under construction. We just wanted to let you know heads up on the new website so you can go reserve your pages before all the good ones get taken.

The Quarter Wiki is a new paid online encyclopedia where you can buy your own page for just a quarter.

Unlike Wikipedia, you can add videos, RSS Feeds, advertisements, and GoogleMaps to a page on the QuarterWiki.

More simply, QuarterWiki filters spam by charging a small fee for each page so you don’t have to deal with it.

To get started with QuarterWiki, sign up for an account and search for your desired words you’d like to purchase.

Zedomax.Biz – Social Network for Making Money Online

max — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 04:36:09 +0000

I don’t know if you’ve noticed the new buttons at the top menu but we have BIZ and NET added. Those stand for Zedomax.BIZ and Zedomax.NET.

Zedomax.NET will consist of archiving all Zedomax Network RSS Feeds and Zedomax.BIZ is a new social network/blog for making money online.

There’s been so much talk about making money lately online, especially at JohnChow.com. We figured it’d be good to add one ourselves.

So, if you want to learn about making money, head over to our new site, Zedomax.Biz and the ZB Blog too.

Again, let me know what you think of the logos this time… hopefully not as bad as Zedomax.Net logo responses…

(Remember, I spent all day making these 3 pics…wow…I wish I could hire a logo designer…)

Oh yeah, by the way, another new site popped up too. It’s a luxury real estate blog for San Francisco. My friend Josh is a realtor and I made one for him…

New site Links:

Zedomax.Biz

Zedomax.Net

SfOneOfAKind.Com

Remember, you can still win a new UV Halo Vac at HTTP://MAKEPONO.COM. No, it’s “PoNo”, not “PorNo”…
