Dr. Forbush Thinks: I like reading these thoughts as they offer me a […]

Digg.com Resumee

I’ve been subscribed to the social network Digg.com which is primarily used to add interesting links to blogs, news and just plain websites to an index. But the idea of using the service is ridiculous. Digg is down almost everytime I’m checking it out. Timeouts, errors and overall connection problems become an annoyance. The following […]

Blogperience

This is so retro. I created a new blog over at Blogger and don’t know what to do with it yet. It looks funny, and it caused me already a lot of annoyance, but I’ll stick with it. In order to keep track of everything, I’ll co-brand the MikeSchnoor.com with my new Rendili service. I […]

Konstanz

Ich fühle mich gut. Wirklich so gut, dass ich Bäume ausreissen konnte. Und was habe ich nicht alles gegessen… Zuerst haben wir frische Brommbeeren in der Stadt von riesigen Büschen gepflückt, und die uns richtig munden lassen. Auch wenn eine Straße daneben ist, waren die Beeren so sonnig gereift, weil niemand an sie ran kam. […]

Website Owners click on Adsense

As far as I remember, the majority of professional website users apparently hate to see free content being compared with advertisement banners. But in the end, we all have to pay the bills, and a little income from selling ads even on one’s blog can be worth every buck. Sadly, the MikeSchnoor.com doesn’t produce a […]

Blogspot – The Spam Domain

This morning I read a nice post by Google Blogoscoped: 60% of all Blogspot blogs are spammers. They tested 50 random blogs, of which 30 were spam blogs or had spam related content. Marty Kay made an interesting comment in regard to Splots (spam blogs) on Google’s Blogspot.com: „Funniest thing I saw was a bunch […]
