Brief explanation: I was flirting with the idea of shutting the blog down or allowing it to simply wither on the vine. I even considered posting a message that all of my blogging will occur in a micro fashion either on Buzz or Twitter (@JonMallin).  However, I have decided to keep the blog live, allow [Read More...]

TechBottle Blog Milestone: 25,000 Visits

Today this blog hit 25,000 visits since it launched in November. While an established blog might pull 25,000 visits on its worst post of the day, for a one-man-show hobbyist like me, I’m happy to hit the 25,000 mark. Another minor milestone was reached last week. I received my first payment from Google for the advertisements [Read More...]

Tech News from the Past Week

I sure picked the wrong week to be busy with non-tech stuff. Much has happened in the past week and my Google Reader is still readlined at 1000+ new articles to read. These are some of the stories from the past week that look the most interesting: Android 2.2 “FroYo” debuted at Google I/O. Many [Read More...]

 
Salmon Protocol ~ Unifying the Conversations...

You might be thinking, “what the hell is this about?” Well, the Salmon Protocol is a solution to a problem. The problem is we have fragmented conversations across the web on multiple platforms.

I started Tech Bottle six months ago and I find myself now blogging about blogging. I did a quick Google search for reasons to write a blog and it returned 44.2 million hits. I’ve opted to write about my own experience and not parrot back what others have suggested. Blogging was once seen as a [Read More...]

Tech Bottle's New Theme

I re-themed Tech Bottle because many of the newer WordPress themes are more versatile and visually appealing than the Constructor theme I previously used.  I went with Suffusion which is designed by Sayontan. If Tech Bottle looks somewhat like another site you visit, don’t be surprised. The Suffusion theme has been downloaded nearly 5,000 times [Read More...]

500 Spam Comments on Tech Bottle... Sweet

Milestone announcement… I’ve officially deleted 500 spam comments from Tech Bottle. So you’ll know what you missed… cheap auto insurance, viagra, cheap health insurance, cialis, free vacations and a bunch of stuff in other languages. I’m thinking of disabling the comment system on Tech Bottle because almost all of the legitimate comments I have received [Read More...]

2009 Blog Stats for Tech Bottle & 2010 Goals

I decided to share some of our 2009 Google Analytics data with the readers of Tech Bottle. The data is not overly-impressive but show that this site has some potential, especially considering it took to the blogosphere on November 10, 2009.

 
NEW: Tech Bottle has a Facebook page (and other ways to follow us)...

Recognizing that Facebook has a significantly greater user-base than Twitter (Zynga’s FarmVille alone has more users than Twitter, reportedly), we have added a Facebook fan page. Please consider becoming a fan of Tech Bottle on Facebook. We also will continue to push our content to @techbottle on Twitter. All of the methods of following Tech [Read More...]
