Good idea, though I'm digging Chris Anderson's journey through freemium on his blog.

I can understand why people like them. I don't say they suck and they're of no use. I just don't like them personally. Not really sure why. I think it's because the line "you can't predict baseball" keeps running through my head. PECOTA is as accurate as they come, though.

Totally agree with this one. There's nothing more annoying than someone telling you that a certain gig would be great exposure, as if they're granting you the privilege of working for them for free.

Writing is work. Not everyone can do it, and even fewer can do it well. Do yourself a favor; if you're good, don't write for free. Let these companies settle for a lesser crop of talent.

Gee, only the thousandth article I've read of this title. The nature of SEO will change, obviously. Those who don't adapt will fizzle out. That's always been true, though. SEO now isn't the same as SEO three or four years ago.

Silver predicts White Sox lose 90 games. Is ridiculed in baseball circles. Vindicated when they end up sucking.

Silver predicts Rays win 88 games. Is ridiculed further. Rays win 97 games and go to the World Series. Absolute vindication.

That said, I hate his player projection systems. You can't predict baseball (though he comes about as close as you can).

Silver also said the Tampa Bay Rays would win 88 games, and people thought he was nuts. They won 97.

I try to read a novel a week. All fiction writers should strive for at least this much, and many times I feel like I should be reading more. I also try to read books about my career field and personal growth material. I used to have three books going at a time (one of each), but have reduced it to two. It's much more manageable that way.

Another page added to the reference file.

Awesome. I've been using ImageWell on Mac for photo resizing, but this might be even easier.

Is this the same people who do SEOMoz? Just ask because it has a similar header style.

This is true of many industries. I have a friend who is a wonderful painter. People who see his work tend to think highly of it. Problem is, he only knows people who are "into art." He refuses to market his product. I kind of see a parallel here. Great code is great art. The next step is presenting it to people in a way which shows how it benefits them.
