Miscellaneous Ramblings - 2/28/2008

Affiliate Summit Coverage

The blogsphere is abuzz with Affiliate Summit coverage. The show maybe over but the memories will live on forever. Here are what others are saying about the summit.

The History of Text Link Ads

Every wonder how Text Link Ads got started? While many people know that TLA was founded by Patrick Gavin, most don’t know how he came up with the idea for the company. Well, Patrick has started his own blog and his first post explains the history of Text Link Ads. It’s a pretty cool story.

Las Vegas Car Wash

After the Affiliate Summit, we went through a very interesting car wash on our way back to the hotel.

Nice video! You should have waited a few seconds under the water to get all the dirt off. :mrgreen:

Ms. Danielle must be popular. I think she was the most talked about in post comments around here and now she gets the top link. Coincidence? ;-)

She has an extremely pleasing…personality and looks! Never did get that photo op with her and Mr. Gary. They were too busy playing cards…in their room.

In the short run the look wins indeed, but you’ll have to know how to keep it rolling.

Well, many times the looks can get people to commit, or get the person “in the door”. Once you are in, it doesn’t take nearly as much to maintain it.

These things are popular in Turkey.. not that large though.
Some of them look like oversized showers.

It’d be dumb to drive through any car wash with a car like that!

Looks like I’ll be spending a good part of the day just reading about Affiliate Summit. Thanks for all the links. I read part of Zac’s rebuttal to Calacanis. That guy is such an idiot! (and a rich one at that)

I agree - looks like a lot to read about the summit. Certainly looks like a great informative event to attend.

The history of TLA was interesting but that “car wash” video was great.

Cool video. Just wondering what video camera you used ?

When you see the words “Ms.Danielle’s pictures” together I can only assume she has had the most visitors from this post.

It’s great everyone was able to rub elbows together, maybe make some new friends, learn some new ideas, have a great time and share the experience with all their blog visitors.

I’d still watch out for Andrew on a Segway though. :lol:

It was nice of you not to speed through the flooded streets and splash people like some evil drivers would do. :twisted:

Hey hey… I am from Las Vegas…. gotta love it. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas… except in the Internet age when you can take a video on YouTube, and bring it back and upload it, and share it with everyone.

John’s just sharing the love Ms. Danielle :wink:

I’m sure you share the love right back to John’s site with some links etc.

The internet is like a big community and everyone should treat eachother like neighbors. Except, I can’t really borrow a cup of sugar when I need it :razz:

That reminds me, I have to return the lawn mower to my neighbor I borrowed last summer.

Gary Lee had a pretty good recap of ASW and I’m guessing John is the flat top guy in the foreground rockin’ with Blue Man.

No, John is one of the Blue Men.
