I was looking around for a cool forum software to add to my site and found one by GoBoardz. You can think of GoBoardz as the Web 2.0 for forums. They offer RSS feeds for topics and even allow topics to be posted on to Digg. It also has seamless integration with Delicious; a service that I use and love for bookmarking. One of the nice things about the forums is that it is very fast. That is due to the fact that they have removed a lot of the images and stuff that plague other forums. The way the accounts work is pretty sweet too. You just make one account; and it will work with any GoBoards forum. It is definitely worth checking out for yourself.

Want to know why Google is kicking everyone’s butt in online advertising? Its because of the little things they do. I have set up a Google adwords account a few weeks ago to use it to promote my new site. Yesterday I received a welcome package from Google. It contained a little binder that explains, in plain english, how adwords work and how to efficiently use them. It also contained a $25 coupon that is activated after you take a ’short quiz’. The quiz is based on the facts that you learn by reading the little binder. I was able to get all 5 questions right; so I do not know if the coupon still works if you get it wrong. Anways; how nice is that? No wonder all the major publishers are going to Google for their advertising needs.
