♣ Admirable Words

Very admirable words from Techcrunch’s Michael Arrington after TC got sued by a dreamer. I can only say that I share this attitude with Michel Arrington and would rather destruct myself than allowing someone to bully me. Hats off, Michael.

We will not be bullied, and people who file frivolous lawsuits need to be put down. I would rather run TechCrunch into the ground and go out of business than let this guy win.

Hands on with Spotify

This post was long overdue. The next big thing, after JC’s Second Homecoming in Wall·E, was launched as a private Beta months ago and invites were hard to come by. You had to come up with a great excuse to get access to the newest, bestest and fastest music application, Spotify.

Internet Fatigue, The Need For An Outlet

0 comments Filed in Online•Real Life Tagged with Blogging•Confused•Fatigue•Friends•Movies•Real Life•Spotify October 7th, 2008

Blogging. The epitome of an introverted person enjoying the living spotlights.
The internet the best thing since sliced bread and before The Fifth Element on Blu-Ray.

The will to share, the possibility to share. The ease of sharing.
The eternal chase for that special invite to a closed, private beta. The fear of missing out on the next big thing, only accessing a new service when they launch publicly.

About

Welcome to iFranky. I am Managing Editor at Splashpress Media and resident blogger of BloggingPro. This is my personal blog, where I mainly write about my experiences in the life of a paid blogger. I make a living out of this but on these pages I will not provide you with tips how to write for traffic, how to style your entries. Instead I will share advice based on behind the scenes experience.

The views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of my employer.
If I say something stupid on this site... know that I hold the intellectual copyright on said stupidity. Challenge me, call me an idiot but the stupidity is MINE!

Latest Aside

The topic of trust is where I draw a line in both my personal and management philosophy. My belief is that a team built on trust and respect is vastly more productive and efficient than the one where managers are distant supervisors and co-workers at 9-to-5 people you occasionally see in meetings. You're not striving to be everyone's pal; that's not the goal. The goal is a set of relationships where there is a mutual belief in each other's the reliability, truth, ability, and strengths.
