The Blog is Dead, Long Live the Blog

I’m back!

I launched Web Publishing Blog 7 years ago. I was a lot younger. I knew what direction I was going in, but not quite how to get there.

Billions upon billions of ad impressions and tens of millions of dollars later (most back in the pockets of other publishers, and ad networks, more or less unfortunately), I’ve got a pretty good idea whats going on.

Before this blog was all about ideas, most pretty big. Now its going to be about tools that make your business faster and more profitable.

Never before have I been so excited about the fantastic technologies available to web developers. 7 years ago things sucked. Most of the powerful tools out there fit in the “old school” category. Today, the best of the best tools are produced by well funded start ups. Even their premium prices are borderline free.

Old School:

  • Clunky
  • Organizational Bureaucracy
  • Annoying sales-rep parasites
  • Year long contract terms
  • Stale features
  • Shit breaks all of the time
  • Owner is a redneck (or whatever slur that describes someone just trying to screw you out of your money)

    • New School:

  • Totally free up to X usage
  • No contract
  • Continually updated
  • Smart people actually run everything
  • You can talk to the owner

    • More coming soon..
