Comment spam on the TPN blogs has reached ridiculous levels. I’ve wanted a comment spam filter on the blogs since day one but have had to fight to get one installed. Finally yesterday Mano’s team activated Akismet on G’Day World as a test and in the first 24 hours it trapped 77 spam comments. But if any of you try to leave a legit comment on G’Day World and it doesn’t show up, let me know, I imagine every now and again a legit comment will also get trapped.
I was about to post up the latest 2Web Crew podcast tonight when Mano told me our new site is up and running, so I threw it up there instead! Check it out here. On this show we discuss Caterina’s post about whether or not it is too late to start a web2.0 company and David Richard’s claim that Microsoft is going to have to re-write 60% of the Windows Vista code.
Thanks to Michael Air for pointing out that the enclosure for #95 was screwed. I’ve fixed it. If you heard show #94 all over again, sorry bout that. User error. 🙂
this & symbol is a real pain in the ass
Molly Malone is the winner of the February TPN Flyer comp! Congrats Mol. He posted these smack photos of the TPN flyer stuck over the top of FOX FM posters in Melbourne. This is about the third TPN competition Molly has won over the last year, but the first where he will actually get his prize (a white size 4XL TPN t-shirt). The other times he won he tells me the hosts never coughed up. Naughty hosts. Bad hosts. Well this time he’s dealing with The Cam and you know The Cam comes through.
So the March comp is now open. Here’s a reminder – the best photo of a TPN flyer in a fun position wins TPN schwag posted to your very door, courtesy of the nice folks from the TPN Marketing Department (ummm that’d be me).
Sorry folks, I’ve been travelling and just altogether hectic for the last couple of weeks. Hopefully things will return to their normal schedule next week. However, Rich will be on this 10,000 mile trek to the land of the handgun, so if anyone is free around 9.30am Aussie Eastern time to do a show, let me know!
