Alternative to Twitter Micro Blogging

Posted 30 August, 2009 in Other

Twitter is great if you want to follow a person’s thoughts. It is best suited to celebrities who have things to say.

Wht if you want to follow subjects rather than people though? Does it matter where an article comes from as long as it is something that you are interested in?

This is where 3qwe.com comes in. You sign up and then set up rules for what you want to follow. For example if you are interested in "formula 1" racing, you would include a simple rule to follow any post title including the words "formula 1". Of course you can still follow people or "watch" them as it is called in 3qwe.

Check it out now.

Anti-social bookmarking site

Posted 29 January, 2009 in Other

3qwe.com is a band new site based on the idea that all I and perhaps you want is a homepage that will show me my bookmarks up front and make it easy to search them or the web all in one place.

It is a simple concept with a search box and a cloud of your bookmarks or links. (more…)

Make big money selling photos

Posted 4 October, 2007 in Other

I just read about a guy on Shutterstock who is making over $300 a day!

I love the idea that he can just quit now. He can sit back and watch his library of photos make him that kind of money without doing any more work.

It is of course it’s not that simple. Oh, he could sit back and it would make him good money for a while but images date, and so he probably needs to keep his library up to date, but still…

It took him about 2 years to get the library together, and I am sure he worked hard so he deserves the reward. I think he has around 3,000 images there. I have around 250 and make a small $100-$200 a month. I am happy with that as I hardly need do anything to keep it going and it is a nice little extra income.

So many people are getting into this. A good camera need not cost the earth, and even if you only have say 20 images on the microstock site Shutterstock you should make it back pretty quickly.

I am constantly tying to get people into it as the work you do now will pay you back again, and again, and again. Even if you get bored, you can just leave it as I do, and it keeps paying every month. Images I had lying around that would have never made a penny, now work for me.

Sorry to go on about it but I just do not understand why everyone does not have a go.

The site is a success

Posted 3 October, 2007 in Other

I started this site around 5 months ago now wanting to add something of value to the community. I also hoped that it would be able to pay for itself via google ads and the odd link to places such as microphotography site Shuterstock. Note the referal link

The hits have been huge compared to my expectations. I get hundreds of individual people visiting the site every day, when I was expecting no more than 40 – 50. Thanks!

Sometimes the site gets  4 – 5,000 hits when dig, or stumble or one those sites takes and interest as they do every so often. That is fun to see. (more…)

A little off topic but I have mention a little game I made for the Million Dollar Wiki.

The game is called the Million Dollar Wiki Space Shooter Game!

Have fun.

So childish but…
