Info, links, comments and wishlists from a webdiva.
I just found the Amazon Affiliate Link Creator Freeware, thanks to The Blog Herald.
Do you hate creating Amazon links for your blogs and webpages? Well, we decided to do most of the work for you.
I use Amazon ads in at least one of my blogs, and I hate having to create the links. They’re cumbersome to create. I think I’ll give this a spin to see if it works.
Recently, I added the Lenova Yogatop to my belated Xmas list. Today, I read this story in the Triangle Business Journal:
Lenovo cleared to buy IBM, gets $11M to stay in Triangle
[snip]When IBM announced plans to sell its Personal Computing Division to Chinese computer Lenovo for $1.25 billion, it appeared it would be an easy transaction.
[snip]
Currently, about 1,800 Lenovo employees work in the Triangle, mostly out of offices leased from IBM, says Bill Owens, a vice president who serves as the site chief. Included are 200 customer-support jobs, R&D workers, sales and marketing employees and some finance jobs.
Before Lenovo made its decision to stay in the Triangle, the company set off a controversy by applying for state government incentives. In October, Lenovo announced it would build a new $84 million campus in Morrisville comprising three buildings. The company said 400 jobs would be added in the process. In return, the company was promised more than $11 million in tax incentives by state and local governments.
I can’t wait to see what they offer.
Wikipedia has an answer!
The term “Web 2.0″ refers to what some people see as a second phase of development of the World Wide Web, including its architecture and its applications. It was coined by Dale Dougherty during a meeting between O’Reilly and Associates (a computer book publisher) and MediaLive International (an event organiser) as a marketable term for a series of conferences [1].
As used by its proponents, the phrase refers to one or more of the following:
- a transition of websites from isolated information silos to sources of content and functionality, thus becoming a computing platform serving web applications to end users
- a social phenomenon referring to an approach to creating and distributing Web content itself, characterised by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and re-use, and “the market as a conversation”
- a more organized and categorized content, with a more developed deeplinking web architecture.
- a shift in economic value of the web, potentially equalling that of the dot com boom of the late 1990s.
Performancing is having the same problems with loading categories I found on Qumana. Hmm…. interesting.
What blogging software, posting tools do you use?
In an attempt to try new blogging tools, I’m trying out the Performancing plug-in for Firefox. The experiment with Qumana continues.
So far, it gives me an error message when it uploads and it won’t let me edit the posts previously published.
That’s all for now.
For those of you who are still coding your own pages, or supervising others who do:
