Idea, idea, idea… Now repeat 59 times. Voilà! 59 ideas!
You would think Google owned adsense.com, but no, it was owned by a business whose name is Adsense Consulting.
You would think that adsense.com put Adsense ads, but no, Google did not approve the site for Adsense.
You would think that Google would buy the domain from them, but no, Google refused an offer to sell the domain.
Make sense of that…

Now that I have a few more sites running, I have less to talk about here. A random rant about spam and the collection of links from del.icio.us
I talk about Motorcycle, Online Revenue, Investing, Analytics, Free Business Softwares elsewhere. If you share similar interest, drop by.
Why so many blog? Check out my original goal.
So there are more sites to come, if you have some interesting ideas about what sites to build, I like to do it with you. It is getting less fun doing alone.
Mainly random surfing, and tagging interesting sites as I come across them
DBDesigner 4 was an interesting find, a nice tool that I’m going to try out.
Another interesting find, using QQ with Gaim.
The winner just sign in. After a few days of waiting, I’m thinking there might be a redraw.
Thanks everyone you have commented. Drop by again soon. I have another give away in the plan.
If you come across any good giveaway ideas, let me know.
or are over zealous anti-spam tactics shooting themselves in the foot?
A while back I mentioned being unable to post comment because of black list. Today yet another silly tactic stopped me from commenting on Revnews.
Upon submitting my comment, this is what I get.
Comment Submission Error
Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:
In an effort to curb malicious comment posting by abusive users, I’ve enabled a feature that requires a weblog commenter to wait a short amount of time before being able to post again. Please try to post your comment again in a short while. Thanks for your patience.
Funny thing I did not post any comment before this. It was the first comment I’m posting to the site.
I waited for a short amount of time. Try again. No luck. Tried 3 more times. Gave up and decided to write this post instead.
Ask yourself, are you killing spam or killing usability (and user’s patience)?
Many months ago, eon in Internet time, I tried a free domain giveaway idea. The response was pretty ok but it actually didn’t reach my target of 20 requests. As time passes, I forgotten about it and so do others.
In the last few days, a few more readers found their way there and I remembered it. So now I want to make good that promise.
How do I choose?
I copied all the requests into OpenOffice Calc and use the random function to select a name. The person was notified by email All participants were notified by email. The winner receives a separate email informing him/her about winning. If he/she does not reply in a week, I will choose another.
Good luck!
ps. If you are the winner, leave a comment.
Had the chance to look at some interesting sites found on Matt Cutt’s blog.
Catching up with some of the latest in Ajax and frontend development.
This must be old news but I hardly look at Google video until today.
And when I did, this was what I got,
Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn’t available in your country.
I can only suspect it is a China problem because how can this be a technical problem? Which other country is it not available?
Blocked websites, blocked videos. Oh well, the irritation of Internet in China.
