Every Wednesday I put together our super-sweet email newsletter and send it out to thousands of Hubbers — some of them who see it and I’m sure that some of them who don’t. Now I may have a biased opinion on the matter, but I feel that the newsletter is packed with some really interesting…
Read MoreThis Week’s Tasty HubNuggets
Each week a super-cool and mountain-bike-loving Hubber funride selects 10 well-written and high quality Hubs that have been published within the last few weeks by a new Hubber. He then publishes a Hub that includes links to each of the 10 that he chooses, as well as a brief summary of each and a Poll…
Read MoreThe Most Boring Hub Title, Ever?
But, one of our more outgoing Hubbers aptly named rockinjoe has decided to encourage this type of bored-inducing nonsense with his latest contest that he has cleverly called The Most Boring Hub In Hubpages History. The rules were simple – Hubbers commented a boring Hub title in the comments and if they were boring enough…
Read MoreThanks To You HubPages Made It To Round Two: Vote Again (daily) And Help Us Win Our Category!
Oh. My. Goodness. We did it. Thanks to all of you awesomely-super-fantastic-radical Hubbers out there who voted for us last week, HubPages have officially been chosen as a finalist in The 2008 Mashable Open Web Awards. But, just because we made it into the final round doesn’t mean that we can slack off now and…
Read MoreBike Time Trials In The Office
Last week we decided to fire up a little competition in the office and held some bike time trials to see who could ride around the office the fastest without killing someone else (I almost ran over Larry) or killing ourselves (I ate it pretty hard during a run) in the process. Check out the…
Read MoreNominate HubPages for Mashable’s Open Web Awards (please)
I have been seeing some major buzz about the 2008 Mashable Open Web Awards that is now calling for nominations. I’m not usually a huge fan of these types of competitions and awards, but I love the Mashable blog and it would generate some great chatter for HubPages if we would be picked as a…
Read MoreConnecting with the College Kids
Each day there are tons of different topics that come through HubPages from our awesome community of Hubbers. But, when I saw a Hubber named rethansmith(aka Ethan) for some reason he seemed to stick out a little bit more than most. You see, at the ripe-old age of 19, Ethan is one of our younger…
Read MoreHubPages Gets Some Mommy Blogger Love
This might sound kind of sad, but the first thing that I do each morning when I wake up bright and early at 6:15am is check my email on my BlackBerry. Yeah, it’s slightly overboard, but my BlackBerry is right there next to me and since it doubles as my alarm and I have to…
Read MoreJames gives the office unicycle a try
Don’t ask me why, but we have a unicycle in our office. I’m not sure if Paul Deeds has high hopes of being part of a circus act or if Larry is looking for some supplemental income by becoming a unicycle-riding street performer, but it’s here and it’s always waiting for the next brave soul…
Read MoreNYLady gets hooked up with an ‘Obamica’
As the presidential election gets closer and closer I’ve been seeing more and more politically-powered t-shirts, bumper stickers, hats, yard signs and just about everything else you could think of showing up all over the place. But, come to find out that these different things are just the tip of the iceberg with there being…
