Idiot of the week award: formulaPR.com

So, this afternoon I got spammed. Again. Sigh. Fucking twits at FormulaPR have won my "idiot of the week award". The priceless part? They used "well, your email is listed there..." as an excuse for why it was OK to illegally spam me. What was novel about this was the last assholes had an excuse, these dirtbags simply admitted they were wrong.

Shameless plug: interview with yours truly

Sometimes, I tell people my day job is making wise cracks & clever comments - and that I'm behind quota.

However, that's truly not the case, and if you do have a hankering for learning more about me, my business philosophy, or my perspective on things entreprenuerial, take a read of the Jeremy Goodrich interview here.

BTW, it was edited, so if you think it reads amazing, full credit goes to Akemi, of Yes-to-me fame, as she did a great job asking questions & following up.

My new hero: redacted blog by Daniel Murphy

redacted a blog by Daniel Murphy (apparently, he also writes for Esquire, but I'm not willing to hold that against him.

His writing is AWESOME. I just wasted twenty minutes of my life I'll never get back on his blog, and I'm sure I'll waste more of my life there later.

Just thought I'd share something positive.

Proven Systems fucking spammers

I'm doing some researching into how to get these guys prosecuted, can anybody help me out? They spammed me this morning and the guy was incredibly rude when I called.

Turns out, Marc Dube is the fuckhead, who lives in Wellington, Colorado. Now I'm calling the attorney general in Colorado.
Thanks.

John Battelle's search blog: I've been the highlighted comment for weeks now

Check this out. John Battelle, if you didn't know, is awesome. The guy is a genius, and he has a knack for pulling off accurate "envisioneering" in the search & media spaces. What I mean by that is if you wanted to know who can predict the future of media, with reasonable accuracy, this would be the guy to read.

Do you know who e jean is?

Now, I don't pay much attention to magazines. However, when some fucktard called e jean carroll, advice columnist tries to rank for MY business, I get antsy.

Not only that, I get downright pissed. Who is this bitch? I say that because if it was a man, I'd be calling her an asshole. The reason being: I can't prove that they did this on ACCIDENT, especially since FunAdvice is 50% bigger than Elle magazine, I have to believe it was malicious.

Trying out friend feed...but, there's a problem

I tried out friendfeed, but, they used our home page questions instead of my activity feed :( Blast.

Check out Jeremy Goodrich's friendfeed profile here. If they could fix that, I'd be more interested in their service, however, if they can't...ugh. Well, they did email me offering help - just haven't solved the issue yet.

If you misssed it: record traffic on not one, but two sites we're involved with :)

Both our "hobby" site, and a client site, are getting some serious, record traffic. How ...awesome, seriously.

The folks at the client company (shhh) have TONS more upside, however, it's really touch to figure out, a priori, what the limit is on the upside. So my guess was 15-25%, and today, the upside only five days post release was 25%, which I'm expecting to go a bit higher.

As for our hobby site, my expectation is in two weeks, we'll be at 15%+ our current numbers, which will put us at nearly 2.5 million month visitors for September. Awesome.

For the record: I'm officially pissed at Yahoo Answers

What...is...this: answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080627172830AAMRaAe

That's what I found this evening.

What _the_fuck.

If that doesn't disappear, FAST, I'll be investigating my legal options.

Fucking_shit.

My public profile - in case you'd like to see something more professional

I know, I know - this template is an eyesore (it's out of the box, and boring).

However, if you'd like to see something professional, check this out: Jeremy Goodrich on LinkedIn. It's my resume, all neat & tidy. Or, tidy & neat, if you prefer.

How can I help you? I'm positive I can, and I'd like to. Feel free to get in touch.
