Perhaps this blogging thing isn't so lame after all. As I reach my one year anniversary at Predictify, I'm finding that my priorities are shifting more and more from engineering to the business side of things. To wit, we finally finished a gorgeous widget:
...and now I'm trying to figure out how to make people aware of it! One of the challenges with a product like this is that most of the major blog hosting services still only give you 160px wide side columns, which is a bit outdated. You may notice that most of the larger blogs have 300px columns, as they have noticed:
1) Most people have screens wider than 600px now; the average is 1024
2) You can make a lot more money off of several 300x250 ads than you can off of one 160x600 ad
Of course, it doesn't seem like most blog for the money, they do it to express themselves, share knowledge, and ... what? I guess that's the whole point of writing in this space!
So tell me, noble readers, if indeed you exist, why do you blog? And why do you read blogs?
