Papa Ces

I have survived the rest of 2008 without taking part in the phenomenon we call, Twitter. Why you might ask? I'm not really sure. All I know is that nobody I know have invited me until this time.

And I had to be invited before I even took time to give Twitter a try. I'm weird.

Anyway, so my friend told me how wonderful Twitter is and how well you can make connections with other people, especially with people you haven't even met (in person or online). I followed her advice on trying Twitter so I created my account and started sending out Tweets (did I spell it right?).

I found out it was really very fun to use Twitter. In just 4 hours, I already 5 followers including my friend. I have also downloaded and installed Twhirl, a Twitter client, as I've read quite a number of great reviews about it.

So here I am, a Twitter newbie still learning all about it while the rest of the world have made Tweets like a thousand times.

This question is for people who monetize their blog. By monetization it can be from any means such as paid posts, link ads, etc. 

Do you use Digg? I seldom participate and I only Digg an article when I find it really amazing, when it makes me sit on the edge of my seat.

Digg is currently having grave financial difficulties. This is because up until now, they still can't generate enough revenues from their advertising system. They are still spending more on operation expenses. With little money coming in, it definitely spell disaster for this company.

There are rumors that Digg will probably be bought by either Google or Yahoo!. But will they? Yahoo! is having some problems itself and as far as I know, is still looking for a CEO to replace Chief Yahoo! Jerry Yang.

Digg actually has a nice service and I would hate it if they fold up. Perhaps they just need an innovative marketing strategy to help monetize their site. It is after all a problem shared with the likes of YouTube and other popular sites.
