Here’s what happens if u visit @Twitter from Jury Duty Free WiFi #juryduty

So at jury duty in LA county they let you have WiFi and internet access while waiting to be called; however, they have blocked a number of sites, including Twitter. Don’t they realize how many people in the room have a 3G / 4G enabled smartphone and can still access these services?

Now I’ve purposely left off the exact daily visitors here but let’s just say we’re pleased with the early results.   The chart here shows traffic growth (100% organic search traffic) at our new celebrity pictures site, ImageCollect.  We’re aiming to have the next 6 weeks (and months) be just as promising.

Swipely Now Wants to be Offermatic

by Ryan on March 4, 2011

You gotta love it when a prediction comes true.  A little over a month ago I predicted a pivot out of Swipely and Blippy because no one is going to their sites and no one want so publicly share credit card transactions.  Well a couple of days ago Mashable announced that Swipely wants to be an auto-rewards network for merchants.  Welcome to the club Swipely, you’ve got some nice competition from Kleiner Perkins funded Offermatic, who after launch has a similarly nascent traffic rank.  Let’s be honest here, both public sharing and rewards networks are tough spaces to play in. Nevertheless, I applaud you for pivoting (man I hate that word) and changing your strategy when you realized it needed to shift. That’s the sign of a good entrepreneur. Good luck with the new vision!

VIDEO: I’m on KTLA Channel 7 Local News! Nice @audiomicro logo in the shot!

Bad drivers are like Gremlins…Get them wet and they multiply!

I think once in everyone’s life you get the silly privilege of appearing on local news.  Well my 10 seconds in the sun came yesterday when I was stopped on the corner of Sepulveda and Ventura in Sherman Oaks during lunch time to talk about the weather.  I gave a bunch of sarcastic sound bites and they chopped it down to just this brief clip – “It’s kind of a downer, people don’t know how to drive”.
