Roundup Thursday for the Week of 7/27/08

Events

Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week: Three star links: Giles Bowkett examines what it's like to be "Internet famous." I'm not exactly sure, but I think it involves cheezburgers. SEO Black Hat is offering seats to this year's SEOktoberfest. Want to party in Munich and pick the brains of some of the best super affiliates and black hats around? If so, contact Black Hat and let him know you want in. It's a pricey ticket (5,000 Euros, or roughly a firstborn American child), but he's giving away one free seat if you blog about the event and send a trackback. Hmm, guess that means that this roundup mention is my raffle ticket. Hrm. I don't know how much affiliat/black hat stuff I can wrap my head around, but a trip to Munich sure sounds nice! ;)

Crap. * Interesting opinions here: Paul Graham discusses pooled-risk company management, and 37signals disagrees with him, saying you don't need to sell your company in order to have financial freedom.

Three star links: * 10e20 brings us "The Ultimate Guide to Decoding Digg Speak." It's both amusing and surprisingly thorough.

Generation Google appears to prefer multi-tasking, networking, multiple media sources,and images and video over text, while "digital immigrants" prefer the opposite. Interesting stuff.

Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week: Three star links: * The best SEO training money can buy (hey, we do have to wade through a lot of shit in order to achieve top rankings...). * Apparently Yelp is shutting down accounts it thinks are "trading glowing reviews with other business owners."

Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week: ...
