It's been a little while since I read "The Long Tail", but I'm pretty sure that Anderson specifically says that the blockbuster isn't going away. The head will always be there. What's interesting is the development and lengthening of the

I think this article misses the point of Startup Weekend. I attended the one in Columbus and the main goal was to have some fun, meet new people, and build something cool (which was only briefly mentioned in the post). Frankly, I'm surpri

That's a neat way to recruit new customers. I like the way you have to prove you're a Geocities user. Edit your Geocities page to say: "I’m off to DreamHost!" Pretty clever.

Awesome. On Cornify, if you click the button five times, every piece of text gets a very happy modifier. I derive much pleasure from this. Will Hapylink ever add the same functionality? Because it would probably end war and hunger.
