Ventucky Santacon 12/21: Sleigh? No! Bike? Yo! Trolley? HO! HO! HO!
That’s right, the Ventucky Santacon will be mobile–a flock of Santas on bikes not sleighs flying your way Sunday December 21! Or else take the Ventura Trolley to hook up with Santa! What’s Santacon you ask? According to Wikipedia,
SantaCon is a mass gathering of people dressed in their various interpretations of Santa Claus costumes and performing publicly on streets and in bars in cities around the world. The focus is on spo
ntaneity, creativity, and the improvisational nature of human interaction while having a good time and spreading cheer and goodwill to all they come across.
Sometimes known in the U.S. as Naughty Santas, Cheapsuit Santas, Santarchy, Santa Rampage, the Red Menace and Santapalooza, SantaCon events are noted for cheerfully bawdy and harmless behavior, including Read more…

Poem: pray it is small
its smell informs: dead animal in the
house you follow your nose search possible
lairs no sign no sign no sign only wors
ening stink in life unknown in death dis
ruptive sending fugitives to your sleep
you deduce it inaccessible: deep
inside walls vents it insinuates its
self into the fabric of your clothes your
being light beeswax candles run the
fountain escape to other locales pray
it is small its carcass soon consumed flies
will plague you next

So on and off for a week or so, I’ve been mining the September 2008 Technorati Report for stunning stats about the State of the Blogosphere: who, what, how, branding, and today, making money, aka “Blogging For Profit.”
Blogs are an increasingly attractive platform for advertisers. The majority of bloggers we surveyed have advertising on their blogs. Marketers realize that bloggers are creating high quality content and attracting growing, loyal audiences.
Bloggers with advertising are more sophisticated in terms of their use of tools, advertising platforms and even events to build reader loyalty. They also invest more resources (both time and money) in their blogs. We also analyzed the differences between the top 10% of bloggers in terms of ad revenue compared to the average blogger. Overall, this group exhibits the above behaviors but to a much higher degree.
Among the bloggers who currently do not have advertising on their site, the most common reason is lack of interest. Very few said that not knowing how to set up advertising was a barrier to accepting ads on their blog. Bloggers are savvy and self sufficient, so when they are ready to accept advertising they will have no problems figuring out how to best approach it for their blog.
Why don’t YOU (dear reader) have ads on your blog? Are you interested in monetization? or making money from blogging in one way or another?
Back to the Technorati Report–here’s someone who’s making enough money to be “financially” independent and sounds like he’s having a great time too: Read more…
