When Jean-Baptiste did not have time to keep up WPVote.com, he left it in the capable hands of Bill Gillbanks (@binarymoon on Twitter.) Bill is the guy behind Binary Moon and he has created several popular and sleek WordPress themes and plugins.

WPVote.com is a social bookmark site for WordPress related articles and has been open since August 2008. Surprisingly, for those who did not know, WPVote.com was not always run solely on WordPress. It was run on Pligg, which has known issues to be spammed. Anyone who runs large sites with members who have to sign up, this is a pain!

Also, recently Wikia acquired LyricWiki. As explained in their LyricWiki:Wikia Migration FAQ:

The dream will live on – Yay! Wikia has arranged a licensing deal so that royalties can be paid to music publishers, which will avoid the nasty risk of the site being sued out of existence. It’s good to know that our years of hard work won’t be evaporating any time soon! This is a gigantic relief for me and I’m sure many of you as well.

It is unfortunate to hear such things have to happen to some sites.

yourwiki.net is a traditional wiki farm of sorts in that there is a shared user base across multiple wikis. This is similar to how PBWiki and Wikia work. This can be great for community building on your wiki because there is a larger pool of contributors from which you can edit.

1. Rolling your eyes because you think you have seen or read it all.
2. Excited to see another WordPres-related site
3. Neither here, nor there, but you are interested.

Hopefully WPAddict will answer anything you need. If you cannot find it here, perhaps try the WordPress support forums. WPAddicts will cover a little more than WordPress, but the main focus is -> WordPress.

WPAddict is open to suggests and currently open to anyone wanting to contribute. Some people in the WordPress community hoard a bit, but not WPAddict. Enjoy!

Other Changes:
1. Also, the Status update fix, which apparently does not work and supposedly allows you to restore your Facebook page to its older settings and look. Instead you are telling Facebook on only display status updates that include anything BUT photos, links, videos, and applications.
2. More than 250 friends and Facebook basically chooses who THEY think you might want to listen to.

Commenting on blogs can help increase your traffic in two ways: 1) Click throughs on your name or from links in your comment. 2) Search engines if the links are not rel=nofollow. For the second, the advice is that the more you comment on a diverse range of blogs, the more search engine juice you’ll get and the more visits from Google you’ll get. Bad SEO people encourage you to comment as much as possible where ever the links are rel=follow. What these bad SEO people fail to tell you is that doing so can actually hurt your SEO because you may end up on blacklist as a spammer. People report spam to services they use like akismet, disqus, etc.

Fan History won’t honor deletion requests posted!

This is false. Fan History DOES honor deletion requests… so long as they are properly submitted. If you don’t follow this procedure, then the article won’t be deleted. This happens more regularly than people might think because people will just send an e-mail to delete@fanhistory.com . They don’t post an ADR and don’t answer e-mails we send them following up with their request. If they don’t follow the procedure, the article won’t be deleted. (3) This is pretty much how it is on most of the Internet: To get what you want, you need to follow the rules. If you don’t follow them, then you don’t get what you want.

So far nothing has come close to the versatility and ease of use that MSN Groups has had.

Nothing.

No other service allowed for custom webpages, for custom logos and buttons and separated messageboards. Nothing was as easy to use as MSN Groups. Just fill out the forms and bingo! You’re good to go. The webpage interface wasn’t exactly WYSIWYG, but it was close and allowed for far more colors than Windows Live Groups allows for (in fact, WLG doesn’t give you background colors for your discussion pages, which is the only place you can use HTML.

Once a site publisher enables Auditude, every piece of content gets a unique ID. First, a content owner has to supply Auditude with copies of all content it wants “fingerprinted,” and Auditude adds it to a database. Once deployed on MySpace, for example, the technology can scan every digital file queued for uploading to see if there’s a match within the indexed content. It can then take any action the content company prefers, including blocking the upload. MTV Networks is one of the first entertainment companies to sign up for the MySpace service – and it’s going the ad route for content from BET, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central.
