reBlog from BigDaddyRichard: Great Minds Design

I found this fascinating quote today:

Early this year, in March 9, 2009 to be specific, I posted a blog entitled "Entrecard, Hacked?" In that post, I exposed the attempt by someone who injected a CPC ad into our inboxes.  I discovered the ad  when, in the course of making my daily drops, I clicked on the EC card and the landing page led me to a site which happens to be a cpc ad on Social Sparks. I raised the impropriety of the matter with Entrecard and Social Sparks, both of whom denied any knowledge of the matter. Social Sparks immediately promised to ban whoever was behind it while Entrecard apparently pulled the plug on it. I never saw the ad again in my inbox.(Read my post on this!)BigDaddyRichard, Great Minds Design, Mar 2009

Black Friday Fiasco

As many of you know, Black Friday was yesterday. The biggest shopping day of the year. The best sales, the new merchandise, it is wonderful (in theory). The reality of it is something different entirely. Traffic jams, fist fights, low stock, are all the features of the average Black Friday. I understand that people want to get the biggest bang for their buck, but this si getting ridiculous. After last year, I vowed never to go out on black Friday again. But, My vow was for naught. I did not have the willpower to deny the Grand Opening of a new CompUSA right down the street. I have never been in a CompUsa, so I was ready to fight the traffic, and the lines to experience computer Nirvana.

I have a small confession to make. I am a computer geek. There I said it, finally coming out of the closet, so to speak. This store has everything that I could possible wish for, and more. Lucky for me, I left my credit cards at home, or I would be in deep trouble when the bill rolled in. Well, thins was just to drop a quick note on my adventures yesterday. BTW, I am thinking about doing a site revision, try to make it load fast, look better, etc. I may not be able to post much for the near future. Just remember, I will return. You can get you stumbling fix when I get back.

Top Droppers For November

As you may know, I have only had this blog for a little over a month. In that time, my readership has exploded. The majority of this increase is due to the Entrecard program. So. I would now like to take the time to thank my top droppers in the last thirty days.





















Once again I ant to thank these blog for the visit. To my dear readers, take a minute to visit these fine blogs, and keep the EC Dropper spirit alive.

Happy Thanksgiving

I do not have much time to post today due to all of the issues dealing with preparing the holiday dinner. Just to let my loyal readers know that I am thinking of all of you and to wish you a very "Happy Thanksgiving!"
