TDavid wins the “come up with a cool new word of the week” award for noticing “accidense.” What’s that? That’s what happens when people accidentally click on Google Adsense ads (he noticed that some Google ads have more clickable whitespace than others, which increases the chance they’ll receive “accidense.”)

Oh, I’ve seen people accidentally click on ads. I wonder if Google is able to discern how much of this goes on? Usually it’s accompanied by a very fast click on the “Back” button.

Shel and I are seeing a very similar behavior. Turns out if you search Google for “Naked” our Naked Conversation site is the 14th item on that list and it’s #3 on MSN Search. Almost every single one of those visits is a short term visit and people very rarely stick around.

This is an example of when picking a popular keyword isn’t exactly going to bring you the best results. I wonder how many commercial sites track their advertising effectiveness by how long the browser sticks around?

The folks over on Channel 9 are talking up Fluxiom. Heck, get those guys on board just for their demo skills! That’s one of the nicest demo videos I’ve seen all year.

Let’s play with this. I’m trying to upload a photo with WordPress.com’s photo uploading capabilities. If that doesn’t work, there’s always our Europe photo book on Flickr.

There must be something wrong with my connection because I can’t get the WordPress.com editor to come up here. It’s been that way most of the trip. Sometimes it comes up after a couple of minutes. Oh well. I’ll try again in the morning.

Speaking of photos, tonight I got an alpha of Riya and uploaded our photos to that too. That’s a lot of fun! Albeit the UI is a bit rough (sometimes selecting the right square to enter a name into is pretty tough). But, I can see that this is going to be a hit. And, yes, Microsoft has something similar under development, but, we aren’t going to get recognition for getting it out first, that’s for sure. Yes, I wish we had acquired Riya. Oh, Riya a Riya!
