I’ve just noticed that AskOwen has hit a total of 100 posts. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s going, especially as it hit an all-time high of 600 page views this week after Scoble commented on one of the posts on FriendFeed. Here are the posts that went up these last few days:

That last one was the one that got me lots of traffic. Worth a read if you use WordPress as your blogging platform. Check them out

Trying out a Spark

A couple of days ago I gave SocialSpark a whirl. It’s IZEA‘s new product aimed at becoming a marketplace where bloggers and advertisers can meet and interact with one another. It uses an interesting social model where different entities can befriend one another, communicate directly and work together.

There are a few interesting innovations which I may blog about here in the near future, but the one I tried out first was a feature they call Sparks. A Spark is a non-monetised opportunity for a blogger to talk about something an advertiser suggests. Advertisers can reward bloggers by blogging about their efforts and providing reciprocal traffic to them. Bloggers can use Sparks as ideas for things to blog about if their creative juices hit a brick wall.

Anyway, I create a Spark asking people to blog about an article I posted on AskOwen entitled: How do I list my Entrecard Droppers? which talks about a mechanism that can be used to promote traffic to and from your website using Entrecard. A few bloggers decided to take it up and this was the result:

It was quite interesting experiencing the system as an advertiser and I can see SocialSpark growing at a tremendous rate in the near future. It’s still in Beta, so there are still some kinks to work out, but it’s taking shape nicely. If you’re a blogger signed up to it, check out my Spark

Some interesting posts on AskOwen this week including:

The last one actually prompted me to write a new plugin which lets you display your latest EntreCard droppers quickly and easily on your blog. I like that I can knock together a plugin quicker than I can find a room in one of these Condo Hotels around the country.

Anyone have any ideas for a new WordPress plugin?

Here’s a recap of some of the recent posts on AskOwen, a blog where I answer questions on technical issues that friends (and strangers) ask me from time to time:

Not too many posts this week, but some interesting stuff in there for some of you. If you have a question, pop down and ask it. Keep in mind that my subject areas are technology and business though, so if you have any questions about Medicare Part D or anything unrelated to technology, I might not be able to help!
