Similar to owning a house, in the web business, you become easily tied to your web host. Fortunately, I bought good when I got in. In both house and web hosting.
Unfortunately, being tied to my host as much as I am, I don’t have a whole lot of choice when places like Media Temple offer what they do. I really don’t have any idea about their service or up-time (both key ingredients in the web business) but I do know that they do their best to look like the best hosting company out there. And offer things I have never seen from a web host. Like gift cards for the holidays. (more…)
In geeky-web related news FireFox, the should-be-your-browser-of-choice, just topped 20% in browser market share worldwide. May not seem like a whole lot but that’s 1/5 users are now browsing happy. This is a good thing in my line of work.
Since the once great Muxtape has been RIAA’d to its knees, about the only thing it can offer is a listing of your playlist as it was on closing day, August 18.
Although, I must admit, I would prefer to have ended with my first rather than my second muxtape. What is nice is to see a quick glance at what your followers/followees were jamming one more time in attempt to locate good music on your own.
