Sneak Peek: Magento Demo Store Homepage
Magento, the most promising looking e-commerce platform, is set to roll out within the next 5 days. Here’s the first sneak peek of the homepage, and I’m now more giddier than a 12 year old and his first copy of Maxim.
What’s Your Archetype?
If you run a community (blog or forum), this is an interesting look at the different archetypes you can expect and hope for within your community.
[daily dose of imagery]
I think we already proclaimed our love for this site way back when, but it’s worth another plug. Toronto should throw out all their cheesy marketing and just make a book out of these photos. Absolutely, inspirationally stunning.

If there’s a more embarrassing way to find your IP address in the office while speakers are cranked aloud, I’d love to hear about it.

1. AG owns me
2. I usually find one more blog each week through these lists to add to my RSS - anyone else do that?
Thanks T!

I don’t understand. You just take the coolest things on digg and put them into a list, that is very unoriginal. I know a lot of people do it, but don’t you think that 70-80% of your readers have already read this stuff? Now, I don’t want to brag but this is a list:

Actually, I go through a list of about 220 feeds and see if there’s any interesting content over the past 7 days. I then handpick a few, and add it to this weekly list.
I wasn’t exactly trying to create a list of the rarest news for some fella’ named John. If you’ve seen some of them already, or a few of them went popular on Digg, so be it. Close this page and move on then.
Eric, remind me to add that “Jackass of the Day” plugin so we can tag certain comments every now and then.

I haven’t read a lot of it, and FYI, a lot of readers actually do like the link round up, why do you think “a lot of people do it”? What’s the point of your comment John? Why even waste your time? Wouldn’t an easier solution be to just unsubscribe?

I’m gonna assume the douche bag is a custom feature you guys have built into your cms?
it’s a hilarious one nonetheless.
keep up the link roundups - I assume the majority of your visitors don’t have the time to sit around and view digg all day.
roundups like this are appreciated.

Eric I do that - there are just way too many blogs circling in and out of my RSS feeds, all in the pursuit to find the perfect startpage mix. (YGG’s left column top!)
I never thought I would do it, but a few weeks ago I even moved to multiple tabs. To think moving to 3 columns earlier this year worried me.. I’m on a dangerous path of RSS-addiction here.
Poor douchebag… I enjoy the link round-ups, thanks for the good reads!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
That Douchebag plugin is awesome. Regardless, this is all news to me so thanks for looking through 220 feeds so we don’t have to!

I love link roundups most people don’t have the time to read everything. Plus it’s interesting to see what your favorites for the week are. I love the new plugin as well it’s pretty funny.

ps - I just added daily dose of imagery to my “morning” folder in firefox that I open up in tabs every morning.
