Posted in You’re pretty web savvy. You’ve been on the Internet since 1994. You were using Altavista when everyone else was using Webcrawler and Lycos. Sound familiar?

Don’t Become A Sell Out
It’s tempting. A company offers you tons of money, but at what cost? Tom made a boatload of money selling MySpace to News Corp, but now it’s turned to shit! John Chow has become MarketLeverage’s bitch. ‘Nuff said. Tyler Cruz let greed take over. His blog barely gets updated anymore – But why should he [...]
