Interesting New Advertising Platform
Posted June 26th, 2007 in
Cool Stuff,
Internet
So a while back I signed up for this new web community. It’s called MyMindshare (note, that link is my affiliate link, so if you click it and sign up, it helps me out). Te general premise is that people post ads for goods and services they think are cool (but there are others that are targeted based on your profile and survey answers, more on that in a minute). If a link interests you, you click on it. Here’s the best part…the site pays YOU for looking at content…well, sort of. At the moment, you can’t cash out your account (that will come after the site moves into the black), but you can use your accumulated money to place ads that will pay others for clicking on them.
It’s an interesting system, however, it’s new, so of course there aren’t that many active users. But hey, you never know, this could be the next Digg…

This was my response to this post on Reddit.
"A game, really?"
"Yes. Any game. You win, you go back...you lose...well..."
How does one respond to that? Better yet, how does one respond to Death? Not death, as in the end of life. Death as in the (un)living embodiment of the hereafter.
Another plugin update...this time for my plugin for rearranging the admin menu to bring the Pages menu to the top. With version 2.0, on WP 2.8, you got a doubled Category link, and it didn't support custom taxonomies. As of version 2.1, it now does.
It was an easy fix, I just needed the time to get it done.
This is a quickie update to address a couple of issues. First off, you should once again be able to use the admin plugin update feature to get new versions, as I have now moved the plugin files out of the folder I had them in.
Secondly, as of version 5.2, all PHP short tags have been eliminated from the plugin.
