Rich Ziade discusses a topic that has been on my mind for some time now with Reality Check 2.0 where he looks at our Web 2.0 success stories to see which ones have really made a dent in the real world and not just within our own little geek bubble. Amazing how caught up we [...]
An interesting and in-depth look at the the logos of “web 2.0″ detailing what fonts they use and putting them into categories. The glorious and happy-spasm-inducing 9rules logo is up there as well.
Guess it’s too late to change the beast now…
There are times when as a company you must get down to business and then there are times as a company that you must really get down to business. Ask yourself why you don’t do stuff like this in your company because honestly there is never a reason not to have some fun. Well okay, [...]
Two weeks ago I announced the creation of 9charities (which should be coming out shortly) and in doing so purchased 9charities.org without even thinking about buying 9charities.com. I bought the .org because obviously this project isn’t about us making money as we won’t be making a dime off of this, it’s about helping organizations that [...]
When I was down in Austin for SXSW, Will Pate congratulated me on the success of 9rules and I of course thanked him and asked him what his future had in store. He mentioned that he was in talks with 20 companies for a job (he now claims around 30) and from what I understand [...]

When your site works in Internet Explorer without you trying
When your site’s hierarchy is [...]
Brian Benzinger has allowed his brother Tim to redesign Solution Watch and unfortunately for me they have launched it the same day as my Whitespace redesign.
Nothing too fancy because there isn’t a need for fanciness when it comes to high-quality content sites. Just let the content do it’s thing and the tell the design [...]
9rules Member, Jonathan Snook, has posted a CSS hack that allows you to target your code for IE7. Can’t say that I am preparing for IE7 at all and hopefully it doesn’t mess everything up too bad because there are just too many sites that I would have to go back and fix.
The hack isn’t [...]
Anyone out there have some suggestions for great looking fonts I could try out for the headers on this site? I plan on making the move to sIFR and am searching for the hotness. If you know of anything please let me know. Of course I prefer free fonts, but if it’s high-quality I would [...]
Jeremy “Two First Names Make One Cool Name” Keith shares his thoughts on communities and I can understand his point about groups being their own worse enemies, but I don’t think individual comments represent group wisdom. The Group Wisdom in Newsvine, Digg and other such sites is the fact that they can show which stories [...]
