Out WikiPedia, Hello Encyclopedia of Stupid

May 20, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

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…]

Link Leaking Blog Rally

May 13, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

A Twisty Road

Mike coined the Link Leak Virus. Easton started Blogtipping. Every Saturday, I get to thank you in the nicest way I can think of, and sometimes this old blog springs leaks at unexpected times.

This past week, Darren introduced the concept of Link Lust with the question, If you could GET 3 links who would you want to get them from? I didn’t really think about it, until I ran into the question on another SOB’s blog. Then I felt like answering the question there. Even more exciting and mystifying . . . within 24 hours one of the three links I lusted after happened. I actually got linked!

So I thought it might be fun to have a contest. [Read more…]

Simplenomics Is Still Leaking

I went by to check on the situation at Simplenomics and the epidemic has spread . . . Day 3 and more leaks have sprung. Click to see where they’re going now.

Simplenomics Day Three of Link Leak

Link Leaks Love Company

So here’s a few more.

These two ladies know more about blogging than I will know for years and years. I watch them and read them just to learn things. I’m the nice one and these TWO ARE EVEN NICER. Visit her blog and her blog if you want the proof.

This fella helps me out whenever I need it and never once has asked for a thing. He’s a knight, a Web Design Powerhouse. and a gamer. Check out ReRetro and you’ll know where his head is.

This young lady is always one to rally to a cause that good. She delivers and helps those in trouble. She holds the hearts of everyone. Zilla knows the true meaning of Link Love and what to do about a Link Leak Epidemic. So do her friends Cheryl and the artist. Bet Mike will be seeing a few of them.

Another thinker, world traveler, gorgeous lady runs the Parody. We’re blog buddies with yet another blogger we enjoy. Link love shared all around.

Link Leak Out Powers Any A-List

Who says the A-Listers have all the power? A Link Leak doesn’t cost a thing, and it makes all of us B, C, and D list bloggers stronger. We become a force together with a web of linked up love. When’s your blog going to start leaking?

Mike Sigers started the Link Leak Virus from Eaton Ellsworth’s Blogtipping Idea. Want your name in the SOB HALL of FAME? Add your own Link Leak idea.

Joe will tell you It’s Nice to be Noticed. So come on now notice someone this weekend. Spread the Link Leak Epidemic. Link love adds to your property value.

Then contact the Small Office Herald and let Martin know.

Are YOU in on the Link Leak Project

May 5, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

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

May 2, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

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.

  • Liz Thompsonstarted off on the cow bell in honor of the earlier tradition.
  • Mike Barlow did the one-man band thing.
  • Martin Neumann sang a solo in three part harmony.
  • Mike Samsone chose jazz scat as his entertainment to keep with his converstations theme.
  • Phil Gerbyshak joined the choir.
  • Tom Vander Well showed up with 76 trombones.
  • Greg Balanko-Dickson sang a capella to a reggae beat.
  • Joseph Thornley
    made certain we were all musically in tune.
  • Chris Clarke got us going with a blogtipping rap.
  • Mike Sigers of Simplenomics fame did a fabulous drum solo with his band LInk Lead and the Reader Hoarders.
  • Liz Strauss played the angelic harp, of course, because she’s the nice one.
