I am not buyable

Markus Zeller — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 21:19:39 +0000

What’s up?

In the recent past days I got written down by some companies to test products and were asked where I am having a place for ads. First of all, they bootlicked my blog by praising my design or importance of my content for their business.

No ads?

I will not place any advertisements. If you really like my work, then spread the word or donate, flattr, or ask for my banking account.

Testing “free” gifts?

Also I am not interested to “test” any products to give a credit for a pseudo-advertisement. If you want to gift me something, just do it, but don’t ask me to write an article about that. If you require an article for testing something, then it is the same like an advertisement and fooling people – even if it is a good product. If you want something, it is not free!

Why not?

Right, this is MY private blog, and MY place to write what I think and what I like. It is MY intention to give some noticeable articles, to just say my opinion or help people out having the same problem or questions. This is MY view of the meaning of blogging and honest neutral unpaid journalism. When I like a product and want to recommend it, then I will do so – maybe.

Social Whale

The Social Whale is a great replacement for the twitter.com website or a local installed application. It does look almost like the original website, but has some nice features the original should ever have:

multiple accounts
auto refresh with countdown and caching
API limit counter
view followers by reciprocals, new followers and quitters
integration of twitter counter statistics
picture upload, URL shortener
spell checker

It is still in beta state, but if you want an invite, just leave a comment on this post.

Here is a picture how it looks like when logged in:

Win a “Record you” invitation

Do you want to win an invitation for the brand new Record You application? Be the first to place a comment.

Record makes use of extremely efficient multi-core audio rendering, making the software very lightweight, even with large projects.

Record’s dynamic multi-core audio rendering improves performance without introducing any latency. It is future proof, making use of as many processors or processor cores as your operating system can handle.
