Just found this really cool and really ugly new Browser Size Google Labs tool. It draws these MS Paint-y looking lines over a website to show you what percentage of all people can see that section of the site. Now I get the Google Labs thing, but why release something that look so amateurish when it could easily be a nicely polished, cool, useful new tool for webmasters?

Checking email in Gmail today and saw this ad. Is UofM really using AdWords to get students to sign up for certain classes? This is where part of my tuition dollars are going?

Having Trouble Coming Up with Christmas Ideas

Mom is demanding a list…yikes. So far it includes only socks (I am lame).



We’re talking about this ad in my Marketing class right now. Prof said she didn’t even feel comfortable showing the ad to us, so of course I had to look it up. The edgier side of marketing…fun.

Death of a Once Cool Site

Used to really like Killer Startups but the site has really sold out lately. Just checking out the Site Reviews category a second ago and was amazing at the junk on there. Every single site featured started with fro___. Looks like they’ve hired someone to just write up every single website as a “Killer Startup” in an effort to drive more traffic to the site. Looking deeper at each individual page has 12 Adsense ads on there. Ugh…good luck earning your AdSense pennies, KillerStartups, and happy trails…
