I guess I have no shame and well many people who visit my site don't know who I actually am. I could me a man, grandpa, or alien... At this point, I am not blogging about my professional interest since I am still learning and searching. Maybe I will start after I am done with my school next year. I have 1 more URL I could buy/fill, so more to come - and that's going to be online ad related blog :) Haha,it’s funny since my very first blog is such a girly personal “room”.

Moderating trackbacks is a pain, albeit required if you get a lot of trackback spam, because when people are reading the new hot news, they want to see the complete discourse across the network. Ack. I guess I hope my blog is never so popular that I need to moderate yet not popular enough that I can't get someone to do it for me. Maybe I should start some sort of .company that uses Amazon's Mechanical Turk to moderate comment and trackback spam for people? I could charge $0.02 per spam and pay out a penny? Very Bazaarvoice. P.S. Of course, one of my buddy's, Rob Deichert, formerly Ad.com now AOL, just posted on his blog that he is going to try to get going again. (http://www.robdeichert.com/2008/01/getting-back-into-it.html) He talks about how he is planning to blog about setting up Google Apps for his co-op. Like I said, finding non-personal life, non-professional life topics is a pain. P.P.S. Part of the fun of blogging is having random Net.celebrities suddenly show up and comment on your blog. I met Greg for two seconds once, I read his blog all the time, and now he comments on mine! Kinda cool! How do we know he is a net.celeb? He gets huge amounts of comment and trackback spam!

Definitely nothing intentional on my part, and the blogging software's a standard & up-to-date Wordpress installation. Retrying. If you sent a trackback to me for that link, I just haven't moderated it yet. I had one really popular entry about Google click-to-call over a year ago and since then I get huge amounts of spam, including trackback spam. Not sure why the trackback to Susan tanked.
