Bloggers, have you ever got paid $10000 for a single post?
Richard Weberg got $10K for a simple question: “What would you do if you were elected president of the united states? I know the issues I would like to see changed. What would you do? What would you want to change and why?“. Not bad, huh?
Johnny Virgil also got $10K for a simple link to his own hilarious post about his experience with a sewer guy.
Smallaa says, anybody from US can participate. I’ll keep track on this competition. So far it looks promising.
A new start-up has just launched beta (Promo page).
From the site: “At Smallaa, you can track and post information, even create a community, on just about any topic you want.
Our users decide how important a post is – whether a note, a question, an event, a video, a picture, or a link – to a community interested in the same topic.
They also get their community to alert them when an event of particular interest happens. It can be something as general as “Alert me when the price of oil drops to $50 a barrel,” to somehting as specific as “Alert me when Bill Gates moves out of Seattle.”
As soon as users notify our community that a requested alert took place, Smallaa will notify you by e-mail or SMS. Of course, you too can get to notify others on their alerts. It’s the simple way Smallaa lets its users tap into the knowledge of the world.”
Also, to encourage lots of fantastic posts, every Wednesday Smallaa be giving $10,000 to the person our users voted as having supplied the best stuff. Winners will be announced on this page, smallaa.com/contest.
Google officially announced Google Chrome, a new internet browser and explained in a form of comics, what it is and how it is going to work.
I’m sure that within a year Google Chrome is going to take 5 to 10% of the market, and within five years will take more than 50%.
This is why:
- Today, most of what people use is in the web and the only one company is dominating in the internet space, Google.
- Google Chrome is going to address real problems which users experience: performance, security, usability.
- Google has literally “all the web” at its disposal for testing, so Chrome suppose to be the most reliable browser.
- Google Android project uses the same core Chrome uses, Webkit.
- Google makes sure that Javascript will be fast in Chrome. Really fast. Much faster than we experience in other browsers.
- Chrome adapts to user behavior and makes really easy to use favorite websites.
- It’s integrated with GMail.
- It’s going to be an Open Source project.
