PR 2
Well I can no longer claim that this blog has only a PR of 0. Google has deemed I am worth a 2, not bad for a relatively young blog.
Wonder what it does to my Ed Dale Mankini links?
From Wikipedia for those that aren’t sure what I am talking about
PageRank is a link analysis algorithm that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E).
The name PageRank is a trademark of Google. The PageRank process has been patented (U.S. Patent 6,285,999). The patent is not assigned to Google but to Stanford University.

Still Talking, Not Doing
Pretty disappointed with myself at the moment. In one of those cycles where I am doing a whole heap of stuff, stuff that I ENJOY but am not putting it to good use making money for ME. I am helping people, demonstrating some pretty cool stuff (if I do say so myself), hanging out for the Thirty Day Challenge and basically actively procrastinating.
Like the drum skin pulled so tight you can see through it, I am here there an everywhere making some great noise, but I NEED TO MAKE SOME SERIOUS CASH if I am ever going to be able to step out of corporate life sooner rather than later.
Is all of this activity raising my profile? I can’t really measure through traditional metrics. This blog is slowly climbing in readers, that might be a tick in that box.
I am stalled with a few projects and am not feeling the “buzz” I need to get them completed
I have this horrible feeling that I am waiting to “win lotto” with my internet work rather than striving for a comfortable reliable steady (smaller) income. While I have my day job as a safety net I don’t think I am as committed as I want, or need, to be.
Gary Halbert said in one of his famous letters something like* “rely on your strengths rather than the compassion of others” and I believe in that whoheartedly. I am not looking for charity or pity. Just working through where I am and maybe striking a few chords with like minded people along the way.
* I would link to the quote directly but my ISP’s DNS is completely screwed at this moment.

FriendFeed Page PR
click me!
Quickie post before I run off to work. Have you noticed how many people are doing “these are great people to follow” blog posts? It made me wonder about why some people have a high PR for their FriendFeed feed page and others have none.
Quick way for someone to mention your blog post is to vanity list them in such a blog post. You get a nice high link back to your blog (still not sure of the lasting value of a FriendFeed link, I’ll wait for the Immediate Edge labs to help me out with that).
Also I need to think of a strategy to ensure my FriendFeed feed is linked to. Great content is always a winner.
Hmmm
