I was recently talking with former colleagues about HubPages and I was asked the usual questions. The first question is usually why should I write a hub as opposed to a blog. I’ve already covered this question so I will focus on the other questions that I was asked: How much money can you really…
Read MoreWhat were the most popular searches of 2008? Google knows.
I was just reading about about the most popular searches of 2008 over on TechCrunch this morning, which was pretty interesting. I guess that Google publishes all of this search data every year under the name Zeitgeist, which after looking it up on Wikipedia I realized meant ‘the intellectual, cultural, ethical and political climate, ambiance…
Read MoreJimmy Tells Us About His Hubtastic November
Sometimes when people hang around somewhere or like something for long enough they begin to claim themselves as someone who knew all about something before it was even cool to like it.

Even though it’s hard to believe, it seems that it is now officially December, which means that we are smack-dab in the middle of yet another crazy holiday season filled with sales, shopping, traveling and family get-togethers.

Read MoreHubPages: 8 million visitors looking at 200,000 hubs!
Ryan Hupfer recently announced that HubPages reached its 200,000th hub on October 30th. At the time that I am writing this, HubPages has over 208,000 published hubs.

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 MoreSF NewTech, Here We Come
One week from now on November 18th I’ll be giving yet another demo of HubPages to hundreds of early-adopting, cocktail-drinking and uber-socializing San Franciscans at SF NewTech. I’m looking forward to getting a chance to preach the HubPages gospel once again, all while better refining my live demo skills. My last two demo opportunities at…
