Clearing the blog cache

I've accumulated a number of blog posts I want to link to. I'd like to talk more about each of these, but why don't you check them out yourself? You might find a couple new blogs to follow:

Wetpaint Makes Wiki Development Friendly and Simple By John Blossom points to a new wiki tool and ponders where this wiki thing is going. I've been pondering how to take advantage of wikis in a number of ways.

Pixel Button Generator from the Generator Blog: The button is generated with the desired text and colors and is converted into an HTML code. So cool, but no use for it right now.

The Pizza Paradigm from Infocommerce Group: Russ ponders whether we really want a cell phone that'll find us the closest pizza shop.

About invalid clicks from Google's Inside AdWords crew. Such honesty, straight from the source, is amazing.

Business Intelligence vs. Business Espionage by Mike Smock gives us a scale of intelligence gathering techniques ranked by ethics. (Surprisingly, not on the list is calling your competitor and pretending you're a college student writing a paper.)

B2B Marcom: An Unmitigated Disaster by Rick Short. Rick is a genuine in-the-trenches marketing manager/blogger like me, although his blog is actually a sanctioned corporate blog. He likes to give out a dose of reality, like I do:

"To me it just doesn't make sense that smart people can deliver educated, researched, and persuasive campaigns only to consistently lose market share - unless there are other factors at work. And there are always other factors at work."

The Worst Web Design Techniques Featured on Web Pages That Suck in 2005 by Vincent Flanders. I've been a fan of WPTS for years and here is a good summary of what you missed last year. If you like train-wrecks, you should add his blog to your feeds.

What Would You Do from Sales and Marketing Magazine's Sound-off Blog: Now you can take the challenge they publish in their magazine on-line. This time their is a marketing manager left out of a sales promotion program. Don't you think the guy deserves a trip to Tahiti?
