Link Roundup – March 15, 2007

March 16, 2007 | Comments (1) | Filed under: General

Even though Bookmark Bliss is a fairly new site, we’ve already had many members of the blogosphere stop by to visit and some even join our MyBlogLog community. We really hope that trend continues. Some of you might not have had the chance to check out everyone in the community, so I wanted to bring you a taste of some of the great articles these sites are producing. Here is some of what our community members have been talking about that I think you might find interesting:

1. AskShane.org put up a great article on why Delayed Posting is a Beautiful Thing. It goes through the basics of why you might want to use the Wordpress timestamp features to stagger your posts and how they can make your blog more respectable through consistency.
2. Over at Esplanade, Lyndon wants to know, Are you Spending too much Time on your Terminal? Something I think a lot of us might need to ask ourselves.
3. On the flip side of the coin, everybody’s favorite evil blogger, John Chow, is running an Evil Blog Contest where you could win a Nintendo Wii by adding a post in your own blog about the contest. It doesn’t get any easier then that.
4. When it comes to social networking, when is a linkback not always in the best interest of your site? DeepJiveInterests takes a look at the lose-lose situation of Startups Dealing with Getting Crunched, Dugg, Slashdotted, and Redd(ited). While obviously a new site is dying for some love from these big players, it may be all for nothing if their sites can’t stand up to the influx of new traffic.
5. At Half Sigma, they examine Why a Career in Computer Programming Sucks. As a career programmer myself, I found this to be an interesting perspective for anyone who is just starting out their own programming career. A lot of people don’t realize just what it takes to remain competitive in the game.
6. Mitchell at HarpzOn discusses ways that you can increase your Branding on the Cheap with Google AdWords. For all of us just starting out, every penny counts and this article shows you one way to make the most of it. 
7. Finally, and slightly off topic with the rest of the posts, I came across an interesting article at one of my favorite movie sites, AintItCoolNews. The article discusses how last weekends blockbuster success, 300, may actually be the first documented film to owe the majority of its success to web based marketing. Pretty amazing if its true, and a real sign of just how powerful the web, blogosphere, and online marketing has become.

That’s all for this roundup, but stay tuned for many more in the coming weeks. If you’ve stopped by for a visit at Bookmark Bliss and like what you see, take a second and join our community. It’s the best way to let us know you’re out there so I can return the favor
