I don't think facebook is really worth it anymore(if it ever was). As uniclaude said blogging is a great way to get out to an audience in your related niche. Get those people to interact with you on twitter as well and you have a good

I use lastpass. It is probably safer to use something like KeePass, but it is just so much easier to use lastpass. Auto fills logins if you want, instantly generate/save passwords in the browser, mobile app that will fill in logins on

I think it's a good idea. I agree that it can be a bit boring in between the downtime like minimaxir said, but if you build a community in your chat it's not bad. An example is twitch.tv/dvcolgan who is streaming at the time

Problem with this is there are already apps that do this for you on your computer. Grab the small bit of screen you want to screenshot, not the whole screen, draw, save local or auto upload to imgur

Apply to a credit card with your bank. Without credit they are usually easy to get accepted to. Use your card for your normal purchases, don't just buy big things for the sake of purchasing things. Pay off your bill ON TIME every time.

Facebook blocks plenty of legit things. To be honest, if you don't know what you are doing tor can be pretty unsafe. Think about the general population who uses facebook. They wouldn't have a good time browsing the onions

Depends on the type of traffic, but I think it's best to just push CPA offers, or actual products from places like cj or clickbank

I think the problem is due to their rules they can really ban you for anything. Maybe ad placement is in a spot where people can click it by accident often. Well those multiple clicks are now click fraud in the eyes of google.

You can't "make" people read your blog. They will read it if it is good. People won't just show up to your site randomly. You need to make quality, original posts that other people will be interested. Then you can post o

I don't really think you can guarantee for it to live forever unless you are paying someone to do this service for you. If you are just hosting it on a big site like tumblr you can hope that it stays up, but you never know if something

Not this again. I get the latest news on Hacker "News". That includes one of current biggest apps selling for $16B or whatever it was. It is also a way to pass the time. Instead of playing video games, I can waste my time reading

I was thinking this. The graph looks nice until you look at the numbers on the left. I guess it is a change but that is still just posting 1-2 times on the wall per day.

It varies from person to person, also varies with the amount smoked. If I smoke any amount I just zone out and get paranoid, while I have friends who get high and do their discrete math homework.

I don't see how doing this for seven minutes is going to hurt anyone who sits on their ass all day and does nothing. If anything it is good because it gets you started. Start doing these 7 min a day workouts and eventually you work you

Most places won't take debit/credit card. You will have a much better time using your bank account for a transfer or wire. If you're in the USA I suggest http://coinbase.com for its ease. If not I'd look towa

Why do you care what everyone else cares about? Does everything have to be a learning experience? Isn't this thread a waste of time?
