Sometimes I wish I had a linklog where I could post links and small bits of commentary, but because I don’t my 3 readers will have to suffer through this mishmash of the latest tech news in a regular blog entry :)

I’m very pleased to announce that the 9rules team and I have brought on the brilliant Tyme White to be our new Community Director. As many of you know, 9rules has been growing more rapidly the past month or so (we’re now at around 150 members) and our private 9rules member forums are now reaching [...]

It’s only been a few days since we launched 9rules Communities, and already people are singing the praises of it, which is totally flattering. The only opinions that truly matter to us are our members’, and they have been giving it the thumbs up all week (and for the past month since when we [...]

When Paul first pitched me his 9rules idea last March while down in Tampa, I think today was the day that he envisioned. We originally had no homepage, then a homepage with just links, then a homepage with just a big list of sites, then a homepage with sites grouped by tags, and now [...]

The new version of 9rules.com is finally upon us, and while it’s not totally finished yet, we thought it was “nearly there” enough to push live. The previous version won numerous design awards, so when it came time to rebuild the entire infrastructure and drop a new UI on top, we knew we had [...]

Many people have been wondering when the next round of submissions would be taking place for entry into the 9rules Network and I am happy to announce that we will open them up this Friday starting at 12:00 AM Eastern time. Once again we will only have the window for submissions open for 24 hours [...]

The 9rules Blog is officially up and running, and there you’ll be able to read our progress while we build the network and its supporting infrastructure. As we sift through all of the submissions, we’ll be periodically updating with news, soon-to-be-added weblogs, and the insider technical information that everyone yearns for. Once the [...]
