Spaghetti Restaurants in Downtown Chicago

I was craving some spaghetti tonight, so I did what most 32 year old males do (cough, cough) . . . I asked my Twitter followers to help me out.

Now, first . . . you have to know a thing or two about my twitter followers.

They are the best.

They are the best.

They are the best.

I’ll […]

Why I put soap in my eye

It was a typical Tuesday night and Brent was on Twitter.com being strange as ever.

Then TheNanny612 said a hilarious tweet that made Brent laugh and respond in a similar fashion.

However TheNanny612 was even more clever and she re-responded back to BrentDPayne.

This made BrentDPayne cry and he shared this fact with her. TheNanny612 found great joy […]

Media Analysis Piece

I’m getting some friends and co-workers of mine telling me that the http://www.brentdavidpayne.com/bleet/images/Top-News-Sites-Stats.pdf PDF I created about the different newspaper.coms and how they are doing year over year is getting passed around quite a bit out there. I can’t tell because I don’t have analytics tracking on a PDF page. I guess that is […]

Favor the Lesser Known Site Microsoft

I noticed today as I was looking at one of Tribune’s smaller newspaper websites (I’m the SEO Manager for Tribune) that there was a significant spike in traffic from Microsoft. It made me take notice of them for once on the pretty little graph within Omniture. Then I thought, “Hmm. I wonder if […]

Lack of Faith in Twitter??

I am trying out Twubble for the first time ever and I see and interesting message pop-up on the screen.

“Twitter is taking longer than expected. If it doesn’t respond soon, refresh and try again. If Twitter is working and you still see this message, contact @crazybob”

Â
The funny part about this isn’t the message it’s the […]

Wanna go by some ice cream?

My uncle use to love screwing with our heads as children. He’d be driving along in the Volare and we’d be all rowdy (no seatbelts, half of us in the back cargo area) and he’d say, “Hey boys! How’d you like to go by some ice cream?” We’d get all excited (of course) and […]

Multiple Personalities Online

I’m constantly torn between having one personality online or having several. ‘Back in the day’, which is until 2005 when the wheels on my life can flying out from under me, I had about 30 profiles on line. I kept a spreadsheet of the personalities. I assigned them children, types of cars they […]

Blogs Are Getting Quicker and Easier to Create

I have now setup about 8 different blogs on my server (granted I own my own server so it makes it easier). Each time it gets faster and fast to set them up. This time it took a total of 45 minutes including design tweaks, setting up feedburner, rights management in MySQL, etc. It’s still […]

The idea behind having a bleet

I thought up the idea of a bleet while I was twittering one afternoon and I noticed that I wanted to say something that was more than 140 characters. I thought about doing a blog post about but thought that would just take too long and it wouldn’t be that interesting. Then I thought . […]
