Great list.

But, what do you mean by "borrowing" content?

Ad Tracker said...

Dcr - Well, if you give it back in a couple of days, it's not really stealing is it?

I'm kidding! I meant small snippet quotes and such ;)

Glad you liked it.

Adtracker,

I can't beleive this has been posted in Stumble, reddit or netscape! Talk about being a forward thinker! Anyway, I submitted to all of them.

Just email me or msg me on MBL anytime you some link lovin'!

I hope you know by now I am not hip to all the abrevs out there, so what the heck is TIA?

Ad Tracker said...

@ Sapheyerblu - HaHa LOL! Good one! Thanks for thinking enough of it to comment :)

@ Joe - Thanks so much! Maybe we can do something with this one :)

TIA = Thanks In Advance ;)

Actually, as per http://reddit.com/help/reddiquette, submitting your own self-generated content to reddit is encouraged. "Linkjacking", submitting an entry which is just a link to other content, is frowned upon.

Ad Tracker said...

Daniel - Thanks for pointing that out! It has since been corrected. Stop in any time :)

Hi. Nice list! I just subscribed to your blog! Nice content, but I must admit that I don't really like the design :) But I guess this is because of the background color ;)

I'm really loking forward to take a look at your new projects... And of course I hope you will be able to start them first :)

Best regards from Germany

Markus

Ad Tracker said...

Markus - Thanks!

Yeah, I know, the design is kind of "bubblegum" looking. Watching all of the blogs updating their designs has me thinking I probably will too pretty soon.

New projects are a lot easier to talk about than actually do :)

Stop in any time!

So did you "borrow" this post from someone? Just kidding.

So do we get any clues as to what the new projects are?

Ad Tracker said...

Fantastic blog! I don't think Ive seen all the angles of this subject the way you have pointed them out. You are a true star, a rock star man. You have got so much to say and know so much about the subject.
