WEBZINE

This looks like it would be quite a good game if the gameplay is as good as it looks on the TV commercials I have seen lately.

Well I have always been a bit of a Volvo fan, despite their unpopularity here in Australia. Saw a C70 coupe convertible drive by today and it sure looked nice. A far cry from the boxy designs of yesteryear.

Can Alex Tew, founder of the milliondollarhomepage.com strike paydirt second time around and make another million dollars from his new site pixelotto.com That remains to be seen, will be interesting to see if he generates any big time media exposure from his latest venture. It is already being highly blogged about.

Well today I just installed a feedburner icon, this blog has zero readers,

The alexa rank is 2,483,394 so the site is in the top 2.5 million sites on the internet according to alexa. Each month, I will do a check and see how the sites traffic compares.

I have always had a fascination with swimming pools from a young age, living close to the city and in a small house, never had room for a large swimming pool, though I reckon there would be enough space for one of these.

Google sometimes send out Christmas gifts to adsense/adwords customers, all dependant on how much revenue they generate/spend. This year, looks like some lucky google adsense/adwords clients could be receiving a way cool Google digital photo frame. Gee I wish google or any company would send me some free stuff. I love receiving free stuff in the mail

According to the stock summary at Yahoo finance, the last traded price of google shares at the time of this post was US$509.65 per share, a long way from its initial float price of US$85 per share back in August 2004.

An interesting online automated tool which values domains, can be found here. It takes into account factors beyond the actual domain name, to include such things as link popularity etc, hence it is more of an indicator of the website value as opposed to domain only value. According to the site, webzine.com is worth US$22,940.00

According to the mediawhiz website, text-link-ads.com has been acquired by Mediawhiz. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed, though I am very curious as to what they were. Although I have never personally bought links via text-link-ads.com I have always been a bit surprised at their chose of domain, given the fact that they have spent quite a considerable amount of money on advertising, and yet chose to use a three word domain with two hyphens. I personally think they should change their domain and marketing over to the non-hyphenated textlinkads.com domain. 

I have been pondering this question of late. After the last big internet bust, I have slowly witnessed the internet grow to what now looks like some kind of bubble like state. It is when you see companies that were reportedly not making a profit, like youtube.com sell for such a staggering amount of money that makes you think the bubble days are back. Also evident in the high prices that some domains have fetched lately.
