BzzAgent
February 13, 2006Read moreBoston-based BzzAgent is trying to turn “word of mouth” into a marketing channel. It rewards volunteers (“BzzAgents”) for spreading honest opinions about product samples, who later file a report about what they did. No cash, but you get product samples and can redeem prizes. It doesn’t seem evil on the surface…Via AdAge.

Weekend WordPress Tweaking
February 12, 2006Read moreFinally added “Asides” this weekend, which will allow me to post quick notes on the main page without muddling up the RSS feeds. I’m hoping this will encourage me to post when I’m too busy to write a full article. Eventually I’ll move the asides into their own sidebar, but that will have to wait until I do a full redesign.
Boring technical notes follow.

Workaholicism
February 10, 2006Read moreScrivs posted about being a workaholic over on Whitespace; his description sounds eerily familiar:
I go through bouts where you can’t pull me away from my computer (not to play World of Warcraft, but actually working) and then I get burnt out and go through phases where thinking about the computer makes me sick. Still trying to get into a routine of moderation, but rarely has anything in my life been done in moderation.
Someone commented (emphasis mine): “So, are we talking about being a workaholic or a procrastinator? There’s a huge difference.”
Interesting idea! I wonder, though, how they’re similar.
