We figured why not create a site that highlights the best content we come across every day. And after playing around with different ideas, out popped Fun Links Daily.

FLD is going to mostly just be a fun project for us. If it takes off, that would be great. But we’ve always wanted to keep a catalog of our favorite content and this is where we’ll do it.

We hope you enjoy the site!

One of our longest serving employees has just launched a new website called The Daily Revelry which highlights interesting, awe inspiring, amazing and just plain neat content from around the web, as well as some original stuff.

Keep an eye on The Daily Revelry. We expect it to be big.

In the summer, Sea Isle City is bustling with vacationers who come down for the week (or the weekend) to enjoy some fun in the sun. Visitors stroll along the promenade, jump waves in the ocean, read books on the beach, go kayaking and some even try their hand at wind surfing. It all adds to the great summer atmosphere that is Sea Isle City.

One of our favorite parts of the summer are the several ice cream parlours around town. After a long day in the sun, we like going out to eat at one of the sea food restaurants like Mike’s Seafood, and then afterward heading out to get ice cream. Later at night, there’s nothing like hanging out at the Springfield Inn Carousel (an outside bar).

Recently, there has been talk about the possibility of building a new section of Sea Isle City to draw in more tourists. Rumors are that this will include amusement rides and maybe even a water park. While we don’t look forward to the spike in traffic that this will bring, it will certainly help the economy grow by leaps and bounds and give visitors even more options when they visit.

We can’t emphasize enough how great a Sea Isle City vacation is. If you plan to visit, here’s a really useful page that helps you search through Sea Isle City rentals to find the perfect place to stay.

Why did we do this? Mainly to prime the pump. To start the aging process on the domain. Any new domain needs to age a bit before it is taken seriously. Given that it will take us a few months to develop this site, we hope that once we are ready we can hit the ground running.

As a general rule, we recommend that all new domains get up and running, even if in minimalistic fashion, as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might find yourself waiting and waiting for the search engines to take your serious.

So, good luck to PaperProofreader.com as you start on the great new adventure of running a web business.

The interesting thing about cell phone search is that it’s often used for different reasons than normal search. For example, someone might with a cell phone is more likely to be searching for information relevant to being on the road in some particular place. Thus, their searches are more likely to be seeking local information.

At SeaWaves, we are aggressively trying to identify ways that we can get involved in local mobile search, and our plans are to utilize our Jersey Shore website site as testing ground.

What does that mean? Well, you can expect that as soon as we roll into 2009, the site will have the following in place:

• A popular blog with funny dog pictures and news that is uploaded daily.
• A section on dog health with a nice collection of articles.
• A section on dog training with a fleshed out series called Canine Manners 101
• A collection of photo galleries of many popular dog breeds with many still to come.
• Information and pictures for over 200 dog breeds

Once we’ve moved into BETA, what remains to move into full production? Well, for starters we are going to be completing two major projects. First, we will be editing and releasing a book. Second, we will be building an online store with products we believe in.

Now, I’m not one to be easily impressed, but Chris asked me to try out the site (CreditCardMatcher.com) and I’m thoroughly impressed. This does not feel like a WordPress site. It doesn’t feel like a blog. It feels like a full featured, high-production shopping site. There isn’t any compromise in features either. It’s smooth, polished and well done.

Chris then asked me to take a look at the backend of his site. The technology is elegant and super easy to use. Again, I’m just amazed that this is a WordPress site.

Let me explain by using an example. Over at College Crunch, we have built a wide-net resource around the phrase “starting salary” – but we are not really interested in that specific phrase. Rather, we are interested in phrases like “starting salary for engineers” or “average starting salary for biochemists”

The phrase “starting salary” is just the singular phrase that all of the many search phrases we are targeting have in common. By creating a very large resource article that discusses the starting salaries of many careers, we are accomplishing multiple tasks at once:

1. We are building a unique resource that is link worthy from many different types of sites
2. We are creating a single, strong, authoritative page (rather than diluting the strength over hundreds of smaller pages)
3. We are reinforcing our common keyphrase (starting salary)
4. We are creating an expandable resource that can be made more valuable by adding new informational units (adding careers)
5. We are creating a platform from which to quickly gain search traffic for related phrases by doing Post-Hoc keyword researc

In general, I encourage every serious website to build out a few Wide-Net resources each year. Once you see the benefits of building big, structured content like this, you’ll want to do lots more.

While YouTube has certainly made it easier to share videos, it also has limitations (not the least of which is that it only handles movies).

Today, I was looking around the web to find the best ways to send large files to other people without requiring that both ends download and install a certain software. Web based systems (or as the technically savvy call it – The Cloud) tend to be the simplest, most effective ways to handle file sharing. While searching I came across this list of 13 different services to move big files around the web.

My favorite of the listed services is called TransferBigFiles. It uses Amazon’s amazing S3 cloud storage which I’ve been very happy with.

While I was looking primarily for something to easily share media files, I also found another need met. I’m a big fan of security and I think that LeapFile is one of the coolest technologies I’ve seen in a while. It allows you to encrypt data via SSL
