It's not me, Rick... it's all Blogger.

No idea, Scott. I am not in charge. :)

who can tell? the "secret sauce" is a moving target...that's why they keep pissing off the power users. I wonder if people still sell front page access for $$$ ?

The same kind of black art dominates the Spanish equivalent Meneame. Well, in fact, it is "controlled" by a tight and nearly closed user community who knows the rules very well and manages the front page news stream.

My guess is that the submitter is not a huge digg user, so the number of diggs required is much lower than what is required from top diggers.

In the last six weeks, our subscriber base has grown from 5,000 to 6,000 to 7,000 today. And Google FeedFetcher is responsible for almost 100% of the growth.
- Louis Gray
Rick Klau of Blogger thought it was due to the Google Bundles, but the growth had started before this... although if I am bundled from somewhere, I can't complain and would like to find out!
- Louis Gray
Forgive my ignorance, but what is FeedFetcher?
- Jesse Stay
FeedFetcher is the tool Google uses to pull RSS updates, whether it's on Reader or iGoogle, for instance.
- Louis Gray
So is there anything you're doing specifically or is it just happening automatically?
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, I haven't changed my own behavior.
- Louis Gray
You haven't done a "state of the blog" post in a while...
- DGentry
@DGentry, you're right. I used to do them monthly, but as the numbers got higher, I got too much negative feedback where people considered it bragging (or worse). So unfortunately, we stopped.
- Louis Gray
People heard that you tried Windows 7 .... and you went viral (again)
- Charlie Anzman
Or people heard you tried Windows 7 and had to rush in to see if it was true.

I don't trust anything to any company just based on their advertisements. Adverts let me know of the company, further research lets me know of how the company actually performs compared to their competitors. In this internet age, anything less is just stupid. If you don't have time to research, maybe there should be a business that would research this stuff for you. Just talking in general here. I've actually been thinking for a long time about setting up my own research business for people.

I think Louis is just pointing out a funny ad, rather than making a financial judgement for his investment needs. BTW: good find Louis. I see ads like this in Hong Kong often.
- Vinko
The last financial institution that spammed me, I CCd every. person. on their employee contact list and told them to take me off their mailing list LOL
- Mona Nomura
Id be more concerned if I was their agency... chop chop
- Nigel Walsh
Apparently they misspelled their URL: surely they meant "myWelth.com" :-)
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Wow..that is a really bad ad. How can you misspell something on your advertisement especially if your in the financial sector.
- Nicholas James
Eh, it's ok. They spelled financial right.
- Pete Delucchi
Imagine how they could manage stimulus money
- Russ Jackson
There are ad campaign engines (saw one at WebInno, Boston recently) that let you mess around with different texts in the same graphical ad and experiment to see what gets the most response. Your typo can be exposed to thousands of people instantly!
- Bruce Lewis
Congrats! It will be interesting to see the stats from the traffic. I had a picture post to Yahoo Pulse! once and it jumped 30,000 views in one day.

Even if you gotta go bad, you'd choose the sink over rubbing shoulders (and heaven forbid other parts) with the guy at urinal number one.
- Jeff Crites
You can't really fit two adults in that corner. Rubbing parts looks quite eminent.
- embee
Someone really doesn't know the unwritten rules of urinal etiquitte. Must have been a woman.
- Dave Roth
You guys are missing the obvious. This urinal setup was made for conjoined twins.
- Louis Gray
efficiency.. guys.. the share holders want you to stop complaining and start doing your job! we just save 0.5 sqm in real estate investment . just wait for this Q's results :)

nadim, this design pictured above was later in the show when they added new features like Super Pursuit mode.
- Jeff Quinton
n/m. "This is one of the original vehicles from the series introduced initially in the third season and then re-converted to simulate the "Super Pursuit Mode" variant of KITT that debuted in the 4th season and was later used in the Knight Rider made for television movie (1984) and for exhibition and promotional purposes."
- nadim
Man, gas hits $4 a gallon, and they put KITT out to pasture. I guess Turbo Boost got to be a little too expensive. Sad.
- Karim
For me, it would be disappointing to sit in it and see that all of the cool buttons used in the TV episodes don't work. It would feel gimmicky.
- Raoul Pop
I think the biggest part is the participation. I've noticed, personally, that I get a lot less out of FriendFeed when I don't participate. This is spot on.
- Eric Florenzano
Louis, I'm sure I read that when you wrote it and that it stuck in the back of my mind. If it turns out FriendFeed does become huge, I'll give you all credit :-)
- Robert Seidman
Robert - Friendfeed IS (almost) huge ... in record time.
- Charlie Anzman
I meant huge in the sense of a $150B market cap, and not how much we love it.

Did it inspire you to go to Google, or make you question the decision? Historically, there is a correlation between my watching this movie and soon quitting my job.
- Paul Buchheit
Yes, and also before quitting Intel to join Google back in '99 (right after Office Space was released).
- Paul Buchheit
if you're on the fence about leaving a job, watching office space definitely makes you lean towards leaving. it's such a funny movie, but can be quite sad if you're in a bad job or a have a lumbergh for a boss.
- David Vasileff
I watched it at least twice during my leave, along with another movie I won't mention that helped me make up my mind.
- Kevin Fox
My favorite scene is the gridlock sequence in the beginning, where the skinny white guy is gangsta rappin
- Thomas Gundersen
That's just awesome. I had been wondering if he had thoughts on this meme.
