I’ve heard that Mozilla is trying to break a record with the Firefox 3 downloads. I read that they had over 8,000,000 downloads in 24 hours! That’s great as Firefox is my favourite web browser.

It’s faster than Firefox 2, and now it supports one of my favourite extensions, the Page Saver. This tool is very useful as I use it to capture screens for my WordPress themes. What’s best is that it can capture the active screen or the entire web page, even it it not entirely visible.

Anyway, back to Firefox 3, I had no problem so far, I have antivirus integration, compatible Firebug and integrated tab saving.

Butterfly Media Romania released a new version of Whiskey Air, along with the release of Whiskey Earth (a second theme in the Whiskey series) and Light Constellations.

SEO or redesign? This questions troubled me for a while now. As the majority of my blogs are fully SEOed, either by SEO plugins, backlinks, valid sitemaps and more, I needed a change, a refresh. So I decided to change some things.

The official Butterfly Media Romania web site features WordPress and has the same theme as the blog. Identity, right? Theme consistency. I wouldn’t want to fool my readers. I will keep updating my scripts and my WordPress themes on the main site, just like on the blog.

The Butterfly Media Romania theme (both the web site and the blog) will get a major overhaul in the following days, for more stability, validity, faster loading times and less cluttering.

I will also dig a little deeper into affiliate marketing, but that’s another story in another evening.

With a fresh blog (actually 3 months, but not really updated since now), Clickbooth Blog tries to increase its covering on affiliate marketing. The blog is simple, and information wins over presentation. As a personal opinion, the logo seems fresh and one remembers it over time.

If you are not satisfied by the blog, head over to the Clickbooth Twitter page. With almost daily updates, you can find out what Clickbooth is up to these days.

I’ve never used Clickbooth, but I’m seriously considering using it as I heard (from some fellow bloggers using it), that they offer you the highest payouts in the industry, while working with the top CPA programs. One nice feature is the rotating ads they provide, as on a past blog I had, I used a custom rotator for affiliate ads to save space. Custom rotation is however not recommended as you can be banned from the respective affiliate network. Another feature I’m highly interested in is the publisher referrals, with a large percentage of the sale. Clickbooth works with its publishers to find the best payment plan for each of them. Publishers can apply for weekly payouts and select from several payment methods.

Apart from the contact options on the main site, the blog seems a good idea for getting in touch with readers, users, publishers and advertisers.

If you did not visit the blog, it is time to do it now, as you’ll have the chance to see what Clickbooth is doing, what events they are organizing and/or attending, and get in touch with a sales representative.

Well, it seems there are many competitors for WordPress.com and Blogger.com worldwide. One of them is Thoughts.com. So if you want to have your own blogging space online, head to Thoughts.com and create your blog. The moment I saw the theme I trusted the site. It’s a clear theme resembling Yahoo and Excite a while ago. Not to Web 2.0-ish, Thoughts.com allows users to create a free blog or personal online journal. Upload photos, videos, podcasts, chat in the community forums and bookmark the latest news. Thoughts.com allows you to decide for each blog post if you want it to be public, private, or only viewable by your friends and family. Free unlimited bandwidth.

That’s a good point, as you can use the bandwidth to upload pictures, link to videos and write lots and lots of text. It is not based on any blog platform, so the chances of hacking into your account are small. Another thing I like is that the content is filtered. Posts and articles not safe for children’s eyes are labeled “Explicit Content”.

One thing I don’t totally agree is the URL address a user gets after registering: thoughts.com/username. I would prefer username.thoughts.com. Sounds like a sentence, right?

Nevertheless, Thoughts.com is still in Beta, and lots of changes and features are to be done and fixed until the final release.

The community forum helps you find your way into Thoughts.com, or troubleshoot issues.

Another thing I liked was the ability to upload photos, videos or create a podcast. Really sweet. Are you convinced? Go make a blog and publish your thoughts.
