Apple Coupons: Take a bite now!

Posted by

I was checking online coupons for interesting coupons, when I came across coupons for Apple products. The coupons provided at this site are for some pretty hot products, too: Ipods, Ibooks with G4, and Software products.

So if you are an Iloveapple afficionado, these coupon deals should really appeal. Apple products do offer a lot for their value: including software, hardware, styling, etc. Perhaps not the cheapest pcs on the market, I still find it difficult to turn my eyes away from some of their gadgets! You can also check out the coupon for .Mac, the website says: “Your Life. On the Internet.”

Technorati: A failing grade? Likely…

Technorati is a major achievement, with tremendous potential. At the same time, it is seriously flawed, simply because their support really does NOT work. Perhaps the demand is too heavy from people using their service, however that does NOT help me.

I have tried on more than 10 occasions to ‘claim my blog,’ but to my eternal frustration, I can’t. I keep getting the message:

There was a problem claiming your blog. Please try again in a few minutes. You can also go to Technorati Help for help claiming your blog.

I tried emailing Technorati for help on this. I think I know what was causing this. I claimed the blog last time, and then deleted my blog. Technorati doesn’t let you do reclaim your blog. I have no idea why. I searched for answers on the net, too. One clue to the problem of claiming a blog I found here.

I don’t know if it’s much comfort to others, but still at least it helps to understand what may be going on.

update #1.
OK. Two things happened. One. I sent an email but got back the standard reply from Technorati. Nothing new there.

And I managed to get my find recognized by Technorati finally. But it is a fudge. I had to add my blog by adding the page: https://www.investorblogger.com/about/. Strangely, it worked. And the feed worked. So now many of Technorati readers will go to that page first. Also, now I have TWO technorati rankings. Don’t know about that one.

update #2.
I got a nice letter from customer support, a Tonette Wong, in fact: she corrected my blog’s entry. Suddenly I found that my Technorati ranking was much higher than ever. You can check the ranking on the right column. So that’s good. My first request must have got lost, but the second one worked. Cool!

To win is to make a lot of mistakes!

As an employee, I always thought that mistakes were something that should be avoided at almost all costs because you would incur the wrath of your boss or be fired or some such thing.

As an employer, I saw that same trait in my own employees, and actually it vexed me. After I thought about it for a while, I realized entrepreneurs and employees view mistakes VERY differently. For entrepreneurs, mistakes were actually a vital part of the learning experience.

I was quite glad therefore to read the article You Can’t Win if You’re Not Willing to Wreck, which said the same thing. In the article, Wil Schroter pointed out that fear is often the limiting factor when we are trying something new. It’s fear of failure that haunts us. And the ones who are haunted the most? Employees? Could be.
