Sitehoppin.com toolbar released, sort of…

What a crazy few days I have had. I moved out of one apartment and into another. I am sure most of you can sympathize with this sort of moving. I was going to have another post lined up for today but pushed it back because Max of Sitehoppin.com hooked me up with the first Beta Sitehoppin toolbar to test and try. So I did. I created a tutorial / sharing video about the toolbar and how it works. Max is starting it out by invite only until most the bugs are worked out. He has been kind enough to give me some of those invites. If you are interested, you should leave a comment here and say if you want to try it out. If not, your loss.

On another note, one of my contests ends today and there will be 10 winners of Beer Stocks (affiliate link for 25% discount), not one winner of 10 Beer Stocks. Sorry for any confusion. The big winner will walk away with all of the Entrecard Credits and Beer Credits on top of their Beer Stock, blog review and month long backlink (from my newly acquired PR4, thanks Google). To enter yourself into the contest, all you have to do is subscribe to my RSS feed by email and your name will be in the drawing. If you already subscribed, don’t worry, you are already entered.

The Cinco de Mayo contest will be a lot of fun, and you can see the countdown to the final on the Contest page at the top of the blog.

 Click here to watch the video.

P.S. Simply clicking on the beer bottles will allow you to submit a new site, don’t forget to leave a comment here if you want an invite for a toolbar. The toolbar works on all versions of Firefox except the newest Beta version.

Sunday’s Random Rants 4-27

If you haven’t signed up for the contests (subscribe to RSS here to enter) you have a couple days yet to get your name into the hat for all sorts of prizes including 10 Beer Stocks. Also on the contest page you’ll see a countdown to a free for all Entrecredit give-a-way that you wont want to miss.

P.S. Don’t forget about Blogtomic’s Contest here.

Secret of the Internet part II

I am sure all of you loved the 25-minute video I did the other day, especially since the sound was pretty low. I hadn’t realized the mic volume was that low. Hopefully it’s fixed now. I am now decreasing my video times to a more reasonable level and will focus on the message and cut the fluff. Not that I was trying to fluff things up before, it just happens when you used to place at state competitions for impromptu speaking. But I digress.

I will try and take some video at the fights tonight I don’t think they will let me but it is worth a try.

Here are the links to the contests:

This 70+ minute video will make up for my shorter video, but the information here is mostly timeless and worth soaking in. If you don’t have the time now to watch it bookmark it for later, it is worth it.
