Miscellaneous Ramblings - 26th May 2008

May 26th, 2008 By Nicholas James

Miscellaneous Ramblings are starting to feel common on here now since I published my last ramble on the 18th May. However, this blog is not just providing you with business you can actually use in the real world as, its also my personal blog too and I’d like to give you an insight to the author here and there :smile:

Twitter

…another thing is that, the service is having problems due to a database crash. It seems its taking them a while to fix probably due to the fact they have many sucky API’s on their system too which isn’t helping them recover from this meaning that a few services on the site are disabled :sad:

As well as, this I’m also wondering when they will finally monetize the service with ads :?: because, surely the VC’s that have funded the service will want to see a ROI and Twitter are at a point where they have alot of users and are the king in their market of being a “micro-blogging tool” and because, of this i don’t see how a couple of banners here and there will really affect them as, I doubt people will stop using the service because they added a couple of advertisements now.

Contest

Will be launching on Wednesday :!:

I’m still collecting some prizes to try and fill up the contest a little further “give it a boost” so to speak. However, even if no more prizes aren’t added to the contest there are alot of good prizes in here anyway for you to be interested in :smile:

Adsung

The combined system is being scrapped because, after a decent level of research we have decided to offer a separate system of publisher and advertiser but include a link-up system in case you decide to have your earnings as a publisher transferred into advertiser credit for instance.

As well as this, we are expecting a Summer 2008 relaunch of the service however, the relaunch date of is yet to be finalised and we will be opening a few discussions with publishers shortly to arrange sponsorship arrangements to show Adsung advertisements on their site.

ProfitBaron

The theme is being improved and will be shown with the contest launch on Wednesday, so make sure you look out for that.

I’m also open to a few guest posts on here to after being contacted about a couple already, which seems like a great idea to not only help our readership with a different style writing but also you to help the branding of your services too. If you’re interested in this please contact me with a sample of your work and if accepted we will arrange your guest post :smile:
