The past couple of days I been doing a lot reading on start-ups and VCs and happened to stumbled across a few good sites like Venture Hacks and Ask The VC. It started when I was reading the owner bios of Pownce, some new web 2.0 communication app made most by digg employees and Kevin Rose himself (that kid never stops does he?). Anyways, going through the sites I found, I landed on a few good blog post that are definitely worth reading, like The Pmarca Guide to Startups, part 1: Why not to do a startup written by one of the co-founders of Netscape, and Lucky or Smart from the guy that sold Tripod for $58M to Lycos in 1997 only to have then have sold his shares at the peak of the bubble in 1999 (cha-ching).

Since I last blogged about mp3Salad getting traffic the number of page views it's received have steadily increased, each time amazing me when I check on my traffic stats. The site has received over 50k+ page views a month since February, with April toppling 80k. I realize that it's not a lot of traffic in relation to other more popular sites out there, but I felt that it was decent enough to try and see if I can earn a little bit of extra scrilla. With that focus in mind I went looking for affiliatepublisher programs out there that I thought would be relevant to mp3Salad's users and landed at Amazon's Affiliate Program. read more...

I don't know if it's just me but ever since version 1.xx of Firefox, I've had nothing but problems with sites that contain flash. Firefox either tosses an 'activex control error', says that it has to close the browser due to errors or simply locks up forcing me to kill the process. It is extremely annoying to not be able to view a sites with flash, like YouTube and countless others. As much as I don't like IE, I might have to switch back to it so that I can actually view the web without having to close and re-open my browser!!!

mp3Salad is actually getting some traffic, not much, but traffic none the less. The other day I was fooling around in the web stats from my hosting provider (which I rarely do) and I noticed that I had about 5k+ page views to my 'domain' this month. Thats unusually high for me considering that no one except a few friends and family visit my sites. Upon looking, I saw that mp3Salad alone had about 3.5k of them!! I couldn't believe it, considering I had done nothing more than submit it to Google to be indexed (and placing a link to it on this site). I'm starting to think it might be worth while to give the site some more of my attention.
Update (01/18/2007):
Here is a snapshot of the traffic to my 'domain' from Jan. 1 - Jan. 18
