Big Landmarks!

I have just finished collecting all the information on the list of bloggers I had assembled. While a part of me feels uneasy about sending out unsolicited email, at least my goal is to drive them traffic at no cost. That has to count for something, right?

Also, I have not seen any errors in my logs for the last week, so it seems like QWiBit has become stable after the last round of fixes. That means it's time to try and break stuff again!

Random Errors

If you have been around lately, you have probably seen some random error messages at the top of most pages. Apparently the auto-submit from the RSS system was trying to create nodes by non-existent users. It SHOULD be all fixed now.

I'm about 1/3 done gathering information to contact Libertarian bloggers. Then comes the letter writing. I'm on track for my Jan. 1 launch date.

I'm starting to collect the Blog URLs and e-mails of libertarian thinkers and writers. It's a long process, but is the last big step before launch.

I still have not decided whether or not I will hand-write all the emails to personalize them. Even though I am reading through all the sites I'll be e-mailing, it really takes a long time for 300+ locations.

So far I have written 15 emails and found info for 20 more. That means I only need to find info for about 300 more sites.

A lot of progress!

Wow, it's amazing to me to see how much progress I am making on QWIBIT! While it is still rough around the edges, almost all the functionality I want is currently built in. I had a couple hiccups (hiccoughs?) today while upgrading the website, but it all seems resolved now.

Today I worked on the tour section. It isn't pretty, but it's functional.

Once the profiles get up and running, most of the hard stuff will be done! Then I can focus on getting people to notice the website :)

The need for social bookmarking sites

Posted September 9th, 2009 by chadwyck

This isn't going to be a groundbreaking concept for anyone savvy with the internet, but viral content is necessary for the continued freedom of individuals.

Today I saw this video at reason.com and it ruined my day. How can something so despicable happen with no tangible backlash?

I then realized that there is yet hope for justice for this woman and the countless others who are abused and unable to fight back. People are inherently social and inherently moral. These values, combined with the internet, allow injustice to be rooted out and exposed to the light.
