My brother Gabe wrote an interesting post highlighting how Google Trends searches show that Utah is a hotbed of Open Source. It reminded me that I haven’t plugged the Utah Open Source Conference that’s happening this week. This conference is something you don’t want to miss. I think you can still get tickets.

It looks like MarketingSherpa (a great company that sells internet marketing case studies, etc) was just purchased by MEC Labs (MarketingExperiments.com). The MarketingSherpa story (like most successes) is pretty inspiring. Anne Holland talks about it an email just sent out to readers:
“Back in March 2000, when I founded MarketingSherpa from my second bedroom (yes, honestly), [...]
I don’t know about you, but my PR was showing as a 1 forever. Not that it really matters since I’m not really selling anything here, but it was kind of annoying. Why wouldn’t Google satisfy my ego like it does for everyone else? (Actually, it was more like, “I don’t suck that bad.”) The [...]

I probably should have known that, but didn’t. It would have been perfect for my recent post on a local phishing scam. Although it would have made very little difference, I [...]
The Linux Users Group I cofounded has finally been added to DMOZ. I had basically given up since I submitted the site well over a year ago. Human edited directories rule, but they sure can take a long time.
I just noticed that the PageRank (via the Google toolbar) for Software for Starving Students project sank clear back to 0 after a brief stint at 5. The crummy thing is, I can’t figure out why. Although the site has very infrequent updates, it is constantly getting new inbound links. Our traffic has decreased during [...]
The PageRank for Software for Starving Students (via Google’s toolbar) went clear from 0 to 5 with the latest data update. That’s pretty indicative of the almost immediate success the project has enjoyed. The site has only been up since the very end of December but has had some really incredible growth. Just check out [...]
This free broken link checker is a cool service for webmasters. I found and fixed 2 broken links on my blog. I guess I’d better be a bit more careful. :)
