What do you do with users after they have actually taken the requested action on your site? You get them to make another one!

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:18:52 PDT
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Fox News Friday night: “The left wing of the Democratic Party, frankly, kind of admires American terrorists.” By sheer coincidence, I happened to trip across the video after skimming over an article on one of American history’s most important but forgotten icons: Emma Goldman, one of the principle founders of the American genocide movement in the early part of the 20th century, anarchist, terrorist, inspiration for “Emmanuel Goldstein” in George Orwell’s n

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:19:26 PDT
The Pistons will try to even it up tonight at the Palace to take the series 1-1 to Philly. None of us could have guessed (not even Sixers fans) that Detroit would fall in the first game. Plenty of news worth quotes came out after the loss, but this one popped for me. "I hope that this doesn't happen, but if we were down 0-2, I still feel like we'd win the series," Billups said. "But I don't want to get there and have to prove you all of that." Via The Detroit Free Press I don't mind what Chau
