Without further ado, it is time to reveal a new project I've been working on.

It is called "Triple Pundit".

http://www.triplepundit.com

It's a resource for "business types, MBAs, republicans, democrats, treehuggin' hippies and entrepreneurs" to get inspiring business-focused news to satisfy their triple bottom line of "People, planet, and profit.

I'm still looking for a better tagline, so please email me if you have any ideas. But please bookmark it, subscrive to the RSS, and pass it along to everyone you know who has any interest in Business and the environment.

This is of very obscure interest, but I found it quite fascinating: If you accidentally type "http://" twice, like this: "http://http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/", then you are automatically sent to Microsoft's home page.

This is a fairly common typo when you're pluggin' in URLs, especially with generated page content, so I'll bet they manage to get a lot of traffic this way. What other major companies are scoring traffic this way?

Greetings from Austin. Perusing the inflight magazine today I once again found an ad for "Melby Ranch". Every inflight magazine I've read in recent memory (like many years) has contained an advertisment for this place featuring some dated looking photos with a smiling couple and a guy posing over a recently felled elk... a mythical paradise located somewhere in southern Colorado. What is this place and how is it possible they've advertised for this long... is it of infinite size? or does no one ever buy land there? And while I'm on the subject of in flight magazines what's with the Brazilian Steakhouses? Fo Dao Whatever, with pieces of beef the size of treetrunks? I think the only things more prolific are the corporate seminar ads.

Pay per click advertising has been the savior of many a website, not to mention a handy way for popular bloggers to earn a few bucks. Unfortunately, as with every good thing on the internet, the scammers eventually start hitting hard. Just google "earn rupees" to see what I mean. Imagine entire Indian villages sitting around clicking on advertisements all day long. (via SVW)
