I had already deleted the app. Mobile news is a tough sell as it is, there is no way this works with the current competition.

Re: Why I Use Amazon Affiliate Links When Reviewing Items

I think 95% of people agree with you completely. Most readers want to easily be able to click to the product they are reading about, and you might as well be rewarded for bringing those potential customers to Amazon. I don't understand how someone can believe you are going to be influenced by a possible small % of sale on reviews you are choosing to write.

I agree that the ideas presented are idiotic, but they are certainly not mine. I posted this because it is so ridiculous. Apparently all of the Young Democrats material and Obama picture on the sidebar weren't enough clues for you.

Sorry, I'm not that Kevin.

Thanks for your comment, Austen. As a matter of fact I have a post in the works about PowerShift09 that should go live in the next week.

Exactly. It's a situation that is preventing a lot of people from having opportunities and making life hell for those that can actually struggle to do it.

You've got a ton of great tips here Mike. A lot of people don't mention including a retweet ask in their tweets. Asking makes all the difference.

Yeah. The mark-to-market issue has been a tricky one. Initially firms were able to come up with their own arbitrary formulas for valuation which allowed them to fudge numbers however they wanted. The rules were changed in an attempt to create a sort of standardized formula for mark-to-market valuations, yet while this may have helped a little, it didn't solve the problem.

Thanks for your comment Charles. I appreciate your analysis. This post is mostly talking about the politics behind the failure, since regardless of whether the bill should or should not pass the House and Senate leadership is saying it should.

I agree that the powers granted to the Secretary of the Treasury are the biggest concern in the legislation. We'll see what the next iteration of the bill looks like.

Um, 133 Republicans voted against the bill. The GOP doesn't even seem to have a house to straighten.

Yes I'm being serious. McCain is attacking Obama for failing to get the Democrats to get the votes all by themselves. McCain didn't even carry his Arizona Republicans. Saying that McCain would have been able to solve everything if Obama was willing to cancel the debate is a joke.

This is what I am talking about. The Republicans want the Democrats to have to do this all by themselves.

I don't have anything to say as poignant as Mona's Lesbian Cat, but I do have to say that it is great to see a post like this. Too often we fall into the trap of either participating in sycophancy or ego complexes.

It was definitely cool that you were able to do some of these. I haven't seen many of the state embedded bloggers do videos of their delegates like this.

Thanks for letting me know about the video. It will be included in one of the link posts in the next couple of days.

If it is a Wordpress.com blog you can't, which is one of the reasons I switched to my own server running a Wordpress installation. If you are running wordpress with your own hosting, just make sure when you are writing the post you enter the embed code in HTML view and not Visual. You can switch with the tabs on the top right of the writing space.

There are definitely other tools out there. These are just the ones that were recommended by myself and my Friendfeed network.
