Out WikiPedia, Hello Encyclopedia of Stupid

Wikipedia Called Us Nonsense

So maybe you were around when we got mired in the labyrinth of the Wikipedia, or when we tried to find out why an article, written by Martin Neumann of the Small Office Herald about the Link Leak Virus, a term coined by Mike Sigers, was summarily deleted within minutes of it’s submission.

I actually wrote to Wikipedia about the situation. The official Wikipedia response to my email said I’d get a response in a few minutes . . . that was over 13 days ago. Hope the young man took food and water with him. A reader friend let us know that some editor said that it was “nonsense.” Kudos to the Advice Librarian who helped us make sense of everything.

We at Successful Blog needed that. We hadn’t had our ideas or our writing called nonsense by a stranger who didn’t know us for a very long while.

Finally I’ve found the home for us — The Encyclopedia of Stupid! Read more

Uh-oh She’s Confused Again

At the request of more than one reader, I spent part of my Sunday trying to figure out something. The something was exactly why the article about Link Leak submitted to Wikipedia was not there. The article, written by journalist Martin Neumann about the Link Leak Project named by Mike Sigers, was taken down within minutes of when it was posted at Wikipedia — the free online encyclopedia.

I figured this quest to find out the exact reason would be an easy endeavor. Off I went to the Wikipedia home page.

I found out many things. I found out many, many things. I found out so many things, that I could not find my way back through the last things I found out to the first things I found, and consequently twice several times I had to start all over again. Wikipedia’s guidelines are a labyrinthine abyss of information sorely in need of an editor. The guidelines are indeed an encylopedia on their own.

This is the page on undeleting an entry.

I might mention that I have an above average IQ and more patience with print than most folks do, but I gave up then. I made one more try and then did the Liz thing . . . Read more

Are YOU in on the Link Leak Project

Filed Under Business Life, Links, Marketing, Successful Blog | 6 Comments

What’s Your Idea

The only way that we can own our part of the Magic Middle is to link together.
Remember the post Link Love Raises Your Property Value? Easton Ellsworth invented a Link Love Event called Blogtipping the very next week–the blogosphere was starting to share links. It was so cool. It was made a monthly thing.

Mike Sigers named this phenomena Link Leak.

What Is Link Leak?

Mike Sigers wrote a post explaining Link Leak. He said it was for Martin Neumann at the Small Office Herald, who then named it the Link Leak Project.

Shortly thereafter, Mr. Sigers’ own blog started springing leak after leak.

How Will You Be Leaking Links?

Successful Blog has been leaking links to SOBs since I’ve been here.
Business Blogwire is Leaking Blogtipping Links.
Simplenomics is Simply Leaking Links. Stop over there and tell Mike what your part will be in the Link Leak project. Then come back and leave a comment here to tell me.

Who knows maybe you’ll make the front page of the Small Office Herald. It surely would make you look like an SOB.

Blogtipping Makes Cowtipping a Thing of the Past

Filed Under Community, Links, Successful Blog, ZZZ-FUN | 6 Comments

Since Easton Ellsworth of BusinessBlogwire got the great idea of starting a Blogtipping Tradition. The Magic Middle Links have started flying and the power is growing. Kids all over the Midwest have given up cowtipping and cows are giving more milk. Farmers are grateful. A parade is in the planning stages.

In attendance were the many players who jumped on the Blogtipping bandwagon. You should go see them.
