19Digg submit buttons: a good idea?
Lately I've noticed a lot of people using the Digg button in Sociable to submit my posts to Digg. While I appreciate the gesture, the chance of any of my "normal" posts making it to the front page of Digg is minimal.
To make it to the front page, you currently need 200+ diggs. Getting there [...]Continue reading: Digg submit buttons: a good idea?

11Technorati Authority: why it sucks
When I moved from joostdevalk.nl to yoast.com, I committed what someone described as "Technorati suicide". Why? Let me explain how Technorati Authority works.
Your Technorati Authority is simply the number of unique blogs linking to your blog over the last 6 months. In my case, yoast.com hasn't been around for 6 months yet, and before that, [...]Continue reading: Technorati Authority: why it sucks

1Crunchbase Widget WordPress plugin
I was talking to my buddy Shoemoney on IM this weekend, and he mentioned that he thought there was a need for a good WordPress CrunchBase plugin, to easily integrate CrunchBase widgets into your posts without having to create the widget on the CrunchBase site, and then copy the widget code into your own post. [...]
