Google chips away at its own credibility

Friday, February 6th, 2009

It’s no secret that I lost faith in Google some time ago. I guess that’s because, in my opinion, Google has taken up the position as the defacto law maker of the web. Judge. Jury. Executioner. Google has the power to make or break businesses and start-ups. The problem with Google is the lack of [...]

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Now, 99% of the people that watch this video will probably groan, mumble something about “nerds” and click themselves to greener pastures. But there’s that 1% that will pi$$ themselves laughing when they see this. I don’t want it said that I don’t cater to the minority groups, so today, this is all about the [...]

My little bragging rights badge

Friday, January 9th, 2009

I’ve been messing around with Predictify for quite a while now, and I’ve found it to be an entertaining distraction. I’ve also made over $40 too which is an added bonus. One of the latest features Predictify have released for their registered users is the ability to add a badge to you blog, website or [...]

SwollenPickles looking back at 2008

Friday, December 26th, 2008

This is the time of year that people usually pump out the “…and that was the year that was” kind of stuff. I’m a lemming. So here’s my contribution. 2008 was an interesting year. I managed to keep this site up and running without breaking it. I started up a couple of other sites, with [...]

The little guy finally did it

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

I don’t normally post “cute”, but seeing as though I’m on holidays I’ll have to be honest… I was looking for filler! Don’t be offended, it’s just that it’s hard for me to post when I’m sitting by the beach working on my tan and drinking drinks with little paper umbrellas in them. Plus, I [...]

Infolinks – it’s time to believe the hype

Friday, December 12th, 2008

I’ll be honest, when I first read about Infolinks in various forums, I was more than a little sceptical. Whenever a new advertising program kicks off, it’s not unusual for discussion boards to become flooded with people spouting off about the overwhelming success they are having with the next big thing, no doubt in the [...]

Customizing Infolinks to get the best return on your site

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

As I covered yesterday, Infolinks appear to be a decent alternative to Kontera. The only problem is, their dashboard is a little light on for information, and makes it easy for people to miss some of the more useful information that they have on customizing Infolinks to get the most out of them on your [...]

Swollen Pickles enters the World of Warcraft

Friday, November 21st, 2008

It’s official. I’m a grade ‘A’ nerd. In some peoples eyes, I will have hit rock bottom. I have now played World of Warcraft. How’d this happen? Well, I’ve been curious for some time, so having a bit of spare time up my sleeve, I went and bought a copy from JB HiFi. In the [...]
