Business and Technology with Common Sense
I am the Lead Editor of Technosailor.com, the Author of the WordPress Bible, a WordPress project core contributor, public speaker and an all around badass. If you're interested in having me speak at your event, contact me.
A few weeks ago, Brian Clark of Copyblogger.com confided in me that he was leaving DIYThemes, and splitting paths from the embattled Thesis theme and lead developer Chris Pearson. He agreed to do an interview with me exclusively about this news. This is the entire transcript of that interview.
Technosailor.com: Brian, thanks for agreeing to this interview. Obviously, the timing of this announcement and interview are interesting considering the discussions that have been happening in the WordPress community as it pertains to licensing and DIYThemes, the creator of the Thesis theme. You’ve been with DIYThemes since its inception and have championed the theme. You’re leaving the company now. Can you describe the reasoning that has gone into this decision?
He has worked for a variety of startups and is currently peddling his skills for a startup in Austin, TX that is still in stealth mode.
He currently resides in Austin, where he samples tacos and queso like they are going out of style.
Hey Aaron,Today I found out that Google’s AdSense referral program has changed. It was, when I started using them, a good deal. Refer someome to AdSense and you get $100 after the referee made their first $100.Now it seems, without notice, they changed it to $100 if your referee makes $100 within 90 days.I know from experience that a new AdSense account takes time to build, much longer than 3 months. How do they expect anyone or any company to continue referring people if they know that the likelyhood of getting payment is nill?I think Google may lose a lot of referrals over this.Joe

Nope. :) Folow the “link” at the top to know how to participate. Register, then you can post. I want posts because it’s better for your exposure and better to keep topics separated.
