I’ve just added a YouTube plugin to my RSS to HTML converter script, CaRP.
Using the new plugin, you can display YouTube videos on your website using their preconfigured RSS feeds (for example, recently added, top rated, most viewed, etc.), or you can get a feed for any tag or YouTube user by following the instructions [...]

I just launched a new service on Chordata called “Top Feeds” that generates RSS feeds from the content of the top feeds in each category on the site. Go to any category and click the subscription button near the upper-right corner of the page to subscribe. As the top feeds in a category [...]

I happened to notice this morning that GeckoTribe.com has gotten an “authority listing” from Google for the search terms (don’t be too shocked) “gecko tribe”. I’m not bragging — it’s not like those are very common search terms. But it’s nice to see.

I’ve got some good news and some bad news.
The good news: CaRP version 4.0 is finally ready for release.

I’ve finally done it — Saturday night, I posted my first video on YouTube. It’s one that I made for my Guru Stalker website, but I’ll embed it here too:

Oh, and stay tuned for a much more polished video for the song you hear at [...]

Last June, I launched a product named Fast JV. Until a day or two ago, it had never shown up in Google.
My first thought way back when was that it had simply been sandboxed, but when I registered it in Google’s Webmaster Tools, they said that no pages from the site appeared in their index.

I’m not one to spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos, but videos like this make me wonder whether I’m missing more than I realized. This is the first take of Weird Al and Donny Osmond in front of the green screen shooting the video. In the final video, you only saw a little [...]

I’ve noticed something a little odd in the spam I’ve been getting lately. The message begins “Hello! I’m bored tonight. I am nice girl that would like to chat…”. So far so, uh, bad — nothing unusual in that. The odd thing is that with virtually all of these messages, the name of the sender [...]
