In the publishing industry, a magazine is usually killed if it has not turned profitable after 36 months in the business. First year gains visibility, second year makes up for year one and hopefully third year at least breaks even. Case in point is GamesMaster strong yet unprofitable 3 year-reign.

Wireless in Camp John Hay Manor and other thoughts
It’s past midnight and I’m catching up on lost emails. I’m currently blogging from the manor of John Hay in Baguio, where the entire area is a wireless hotspot.

Text Link Ads introduces Feedvertising
It’s finally out in the wild. Darren Rowse has a good explanation of TLA Feedvertising here but its really just common sense: a lotof people don’t visit blogs to read posts. They visit feeds. So might as well advertise on feeds then, right? What I love about the new Feedvertising is the ability to post…
