One Month In To SocialSpark
Posted on May 15, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | Leave a Comment
Sunday will mark one full month that SocialSpark has been in public Beta, last Thursday marked the one month point from when I joined, and Tuesday was exactly one month since I took my first Sponsored Post there. I would have picked one of those specific dates to write this post, but the PayPerPost opp offering to pay me $9.00 to give my thoughts kept disappearing before I could grab it. Until today. And y’all know I can never pass up…
Quick ‘n’ Dirty Debate Online
Posted on May 15, 2008 - Filed Under Technology | Leave a Comment
Came across a relatively new site today called Just Tell Me Why which succinctly brings together the second most common reason we’re all online in the first place: to argue and debate with complete strangers 
And I’m not talking about the pointless flame wars that occur in forums on a regular basis. No, I’m talking the big, important questions of the day. Issues like- Mac vs. PC, Facebook vs. Twitter, and even that all-time classic: Sean Connery vs. Roger Moore. Basically, the…

Bloggers love their toys and their widgets. It’s one of the things they have in common with those who follow politics (and helps explain the large number of political bloggers). Well, I was just introduced to a nifty little election toy that I think y’all are going to love…

I know, I know, I’ve been back four days and still haven’t posted very much about our vacation last week. The truth is I’ve been working at it, but processing dozens of videos and well over a thousand photos is taking much longer than I expected.
Everything’s been processed now and it’s just a matter of getting all of the photos uploaded to ShareAPic and all of the videos uploaded to Revver that’s holding me back at this point. Well, that and catching…
Dockers Contest Casting Call - The Actor
Posted on May 15, 2008 - Filed Under Contests, Shopping | 1 Comment
As I mentioned yesterday there is currently a Dockers contest running to make a new commercial. The winner will have their video played on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Well, I’ve finally come up with the perfect concept for my video and now I’m just looking for my leading man. What I need is someone who is young, hip and likes wearing Dockers. Shouldn’t be too hard… Should it?
I put out a casting call in my local area (my very local…
Can SocialSpark Advertisers Really Be Happy With This?

Since I didn’t sleep last night I was refreshing the SocialSpark marketplace with some regularity this morning as the IZEA staff started releasing opportunities. An excellent opp titled “$15,000 Online Video Contest” appeared that seemed perfect for Philaahzophy, so I clicked over to take it only to find that the slots for today had already been taken in the three minutes it took for me to see the listing.
Curious who was so quick on the draw I clicked over to…
