Splashpress Media Launches Blogosphere News

October 30, 2007 | Filed Under Announcements, Bloggers, Blogging, Contests, Features | 8 Comments

For the new media company that we are, Splashpress Media has still been focusing on contributor-driven content, and not much on user/reader-driven content. Sure, with Performancing the forum and the Performancing blog are all about the readers as contributors. But there’s still something amiss–a site where the users really get to shine.

With everyone back on the tag versus categories versus tags bandwagon, have you checked to make sure you are tagging yourself?

May 16, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment

Animals’ ability to prognosticate […]

May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

I thought they were already, but obviously not so. Google has been the leading search engine, but overall Yahoo is the most popular web site according to ComScore’s rankings. No more though, according to an AP report:

May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Stephanie Stockman is a NASA contractor working at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which is cool by itself.
