HipMojo #9 (3/3) – Lightning Round

CT Moore — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:10:21 +0000

In this third and final installment of episode 9, we enter the weekly lightning round. The questions we debate include:

Were Daily Deals a Fad?,
Is WordPress dead?
Is Hulu still for sale?
Who is more screwed: magazines or newspapers?
and what Diggnation’s legacy will be?

And, of course, Ash then answers the email of the week, which comes from Don Ouchy’s via Quora.

St. Patty’s Day in Affiliate Land

Also, a new issue of FeedFront magazine, some new shows on GeekCast.fm (the Spew and Brandmouthing), and a leprechaun sighting.

Podcasting is Dead (to Me)

Shawn Collins — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:23:50 +0000

Episode 55 of the Cast of Geeks was an exercise in torture. It was only myself and Lisa Picarille on the call, and I most definitely hit record on the Pamela software, which was confirmed by the pleasant audio notification: “This Call is Being Recorded.”

Only it wasn’t. Pamela lied to me and a quality hour-long conversation is in the vapors – the second time in a month.

So anyway, after I picked up my monitor from the floor and knocked out the dent from punching it, I recorded a recap of the call and touched on the Diggnation guys on Jimmy Fallon, playing with my Kindle 2, a guy getting fired from the Philadelphia Eagles for his Facebook status, David Prager from Revision3 having his house broken in by Michael Myers, and a bunch of other stuff.

GeekCast 44: Jim Kukral, ShamWow and PubCon

Shawn Collins — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 05:33:47 +0000

Episode 44 of the GeekCast show was sans Jim Kukral and Lisa Picarille, so Sam Harrelson and Shawn Collins did the only logical thing – they rambled on for about two hours.

Plenty of things were covered, including blog themes for WordPress, getting e-mail on a Blackberry while flying, Jim Kukral rebranded, and Cisco Systems geeking up the new Yankee Stadium.

Also, some talk on Diggnation audio vs. video podcasts, Flickr as a venue for affiliate links, giddiness over the Amazon Stripe, and the fake Bluetooth infomercial thing.

Let Google Improve Your 404 Error Pages

This week on the Affiliate Thing podcast, I went solo as Lisa Picarille was off as a conference.

I shared a tip for getting any RSS feed by email, how to work with Google to optimize traffic to your site, a place to aggregate affiliate stats, and riding out tough economic times as an affiliate.
