Terraminds Searches Twitter

Andrew Sayer pointed to this terrific Twitter search engine this morning: Terraminds.

Let’s say you wanted to know what people on Twitter had been saying about… Telstra, for example.

TPN really needs help from a server guru

The TPN servers crashed 15 times in the last 24 hours and we don’t know why. I really need a server admin guru to help us get to the bottom of it. Anyone out there a jedi in Apache, etc, and want to help a brother out? I’ll make it worth your while. If you run or work for an IT shop and are willing to help out, I’ll give you free advertising on TPN. Get your brand out to 500,000 people a month.

G’DAY WORLD #283 – Porn Filters, Australian Values and other nonsense

Richard, Ian and Garth joined me last night to discuss porn filters, Australian values, strip clubs and other rubbish. If you think you can sense heavy editing in this show… you are right. I won’t say why.

Become part of the G’Day World conversation.

I’ve created a couple of groups inside Second Life. You can now add yourself to the following groups:

  • Friends Of G’Day World
  • MODM
  • The Podcast Network
  • If I knew how to link directly to those groups from here, I would. But I don’t. So for now you just need to search for them in-world. Or you can add “Cameron Switchblade” to your friends and check out the groups I belong to.

    If you’re a member of Facebook, you can ADD ME AS A FRIEND and then ADD YOURSELF TO THE G’DAY WORLD GROUP.

    You can show your love by buying me stuff from my Amazon wish list.

    Add me to your Twitter account.

    You might DIGG the show.

    Get the TPN version of Particls.

    Don’t forget to make use of my new comments line – +613 9016 9699.

    You can now buy transcripts of this podcast from Pods In Print.

    Tracking Clicks in PHP adserver

    Anyone out there know (and I mean REALLY know, not just “let me in and I’ll have a play around”) how we configure PHP adserver so we can tell how many times a banner or link gets clicked?
