I thought there was something wrong today when I checked the Google Analytics stats for The Border Watch website.
I’ve been quite pleased with the site’s traffic growth, but wasn’t expecting today’s surge to more than 6500 unique visitors. (more…)
I was never a big Tweeter, but found the concept strangely compelling. There are many people ranting on the web about service disruptions, but I never used it enough to be troubled.
Nevertheless, I like to try new things and stumbled across Identi.ca yesterday and set up an account with the short, early-adopter user name of [...]
I’m taking a look at rssHugger.

Kwout is responsible for the images you see in this post and some of my other recent articles.
With Kwout you can quote part of a web page as an image with an image map. You need to add a bookmarklet to [...]
I committed space on my sidebar yesterday to BlogUpp after reading a positive review.
It claims to be “the easiest recipe ever for a more effective and interactive web promotion.”
BlogUpp uses an iframe in the sidebar. The theory is that users promote two other blogs/sites in exchange for 90 percent cross-promotion back to their site, which [...]
Is the photo album dead? Have digital cameras, computers and online storage solutions killed the album?
Reader Glenn made a good comment on the Schmap Australia post about digital images.
Digital photos don’t cost anything to take but they sure chew up your PC’s hard drive space. Then you have to burn them to CD ROM or [...]
Perth woman Angela Nathan will launch a new website MeetAMiningMan.com.au on May 30.
The aim is to “increase the likelihood of successful, happy relationships in WA within the current resources boom”.
The website will “provide a link between single men working on a fly in, fly out (FIFO) roster and single local women who are aware and [...]
