When I checked my email this morning, I noticed that Chitika, the blogger-driven merchandising/shopping network, made a Facebook application called iBought. The application allows Facebook users to show off their latest purchases in their profiles.

How useful is iBought? If you checkout my Facebook profile, it says I just bought a goat. No, I didn’t really buy a goat. But I wanted to see what ads Chitika would list based on the word goat. Care to guess? I now have 3 bottles of Horny Goat Weed on my Facebook profile. But let’s say I bought something good like a giant HD-TV. Why would I list it on my Facebook profile? That’s like inviting someone to rob you. Needless to say, I’m pretty sure the iBought application will be deleted by the end of the week.

Besides being useless, Chitika needs to fine tune the application coding. I got this error after trying to interact with the iBought application in my Facebook profile:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/facebook/lib/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php:1) in /var/www/html/facebook/lib/facebook.php on line 197

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/facebook/lib/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php:1) in /var/www/html/facebook/lib/facebook.php on line 200

So why would anyone want to install the useless iBought application on their Facebook profile? Chitika is paying $1 per for every friend you get to install iBought. The offer is only open to the first 10,000 installs.

$1 isn’t a lot, but if you have a ton of Facebook friends it could be a worthwhile. Then again, you’ll probably make all your friends hate you. Still interested? You can install the iBought Facebook application here.

Many of the blogging-addicts like myself spend hours each day writing and working on their blogs, just for you to be interested to read these lines, hehe. And though i use my laptop to blog, this keyboard food tray concept seems quite decent.

This place now has a not-so simillar brother-blog, it’s called The Daily Buzzer and the simplest way to tell you what you’ll see there is this: Celebrities, Cool Videos & Games, Funny stuff & More Crap to Waste Your Time on.

Now we know most people claim they don’t like crap, just skim the homepage there, watch some videos, play some games and read some gossip…you’ll love it if you have 30 minutes seconds to kill!

“I put up a temporary site/blog…even though it’s named “Legends” I’ll use the site for personal thought as well” Said forum admin Austin, owner of the newly refurbished Legends forum.

Realizing forum addicts didn’t quite get the idea of extensive forum roleplaying, Austin decided to blog about it, rant, update, talk, ponder, read the editor’s say about the idea.

It’s a knwon thing, Christmas is probably the worst period of the year in terms of blog traffic. Alot of publishers and bloggers decide to take a vacation to forget about the stress of the updating their sites.

Today i’ve looked up the places i usually do to get my news from, and roamed around in some other resources sites, and found almost nothing interesting to put up. I also feel that today is also slow in terms of traffic, but hey…it’s christmas!

So today there will be probably no more updates here, i’m gonna take a rest from this thing for the next couple of hours (already 4 PM here) and come back in hope to find something interesting .

If I find something really interesting i’ll put it up, but basically i’m gonna enjoy my own christmas…i still have Kill Bill: Chapter II on my watch list…so yeah .

Tomorrow this blog will celebrate it’s 6 month anniversary, so expect a really interesting post

I’m sure you’ve noticed that yesterday & today i used images in all of my posts, i hope you like that and that will increase interest in the blog. But that’s not why i’m writing..

If you care about this blog, if you’re a daily reader, if you enjoy forum-talk, please…help me with this important dilemma i’m facing, have your say!

I’m sure that most of my readers are aware of the latest posts i’ve done, i’m talking about posts made yesterday (the 16th) and today (17th), most of them are short and about tech/interesting stuff. I’m also sure that you’re not used to see this activity ratio and short posts around here. So, what do you think of this activity rate? will you be annoyed to see 1-5 tiny interesting posts a day?

Started as a personal and blogging crisis, November came out to be my best month in blogging in terms of activity, readership, and communication in-between this blog .

So yeah, i’m not even close to the same earnings i made in the past month from my ads, but i’m much much more satisfied if we’d sum up this month, especially from the communication in between this blog (comments in other words) which really made it alot more inspiring and encouraged me to write even more.

In total, i posted 13/30 Days in November, some days with more than one post, i had more comments than i ever had, and the blogs showed significant improvement in terms of incoming traffic .

Plans for December are simillar, although activity might decrease a bit since i have term I tests, so bear with me..Forums Talk and Blogging are still one of the main things i’ll talk about here, and of course, evey now and then i’ll bring some cool links and talk about life in general.

It’s Me, My Coke, And I.
