I am thinking of adding an interface to the WiredPages Business page that would provide business profile listings associated with the ProfessionalProfiles service. The interface would work in a manner similar to the FashionFinds interface on the lower Style & Events page.Though I promote the ProfessionalProfiles service quite a bit-- I am not getting the response in terms of profile

I reported here-- I was having problems with my business line. Those issues have now been resolved.That said, I believe my business communications are interfered with so be careful with whom you think you are speaking to. I am a sole business owner and run QiSoftware and Hosting-Q. I do not outsource any of my business dealings or work and have no affiliation with the US Government, local US

I have been integrating affiliate marketing interfaces on WiredPages. The latest, an interface that provides information about sports events and ticket purchase-- and is located on the WiredPages Sports page. To access the interface, click the "OpenTicketing" button-- illustrated on the right. This is what the interface looks like: Click the "ClickToClose" button to close the interface. I

I have two interfaces that offer the most popular iTunes songs. One for the Q's Wire shopping page and the other for the WiredPages Entertainment page. Both interfaces are inoperable because the feed is not there. A manual check provides the feeds are available with my affiliate info-- so I am not sure what the problem is. I am in no hurry this weekend to correct the problem. I may fix it

WiredPages was set up to provide a way for me to demonstrate my software tools. The latest interface-- demonstrates Java Servlet technology accessing Commission Junction's Web Services to pull affiliate ads.There are a myriad of affiliate interfaces demonstrated amongst the pages of WiredPages to help you get some idea-- of the types of custom interfaces that can be developed and integrated on

I have been doing some research into why it is I am not getting impression data for one of my affiliates [iTunes]. I developed servlets for the shopping page of Q's Wire and the WiredPages Entertainment page to render the top 10 songs according to iTunes.LinkShare the affiliate manager, awhile back introduced major changes to the web services they offer and also explain how to create on the fly

I have several affiliate partnerships including one with a huge computer warehouse. I am trying to verify and provide data related to sales, impressions, etc.-- to the proper authorities-- so they can investigate why I am not getting proper credit.I just got off the phone with the affiliate manager for the computer warehouse, Gus Brito and will be sending him an email so he can test the links

I am in the midst of adding new features or enhancing existing tools on the WiredPages News Service.Last night when I was developing the WSJ Real Estate News Headlines magnet for the Real Estate page, I noticed I made a mistake with the last tweaks to the AP news servlets, that I updated just before Christmas. The mistake I made could have been costly [in terms of server resource loads] if I had

Since getting Verizon FiOS about a year ago-- I have been adding more interactive media devices to blog posts. I was always very conscious of Internet download issues for those visitors with slower Internet Service Providers [ISPs] and now wonder-- with the economy in its current state, how well my interactive media posts are being received?I use a lot of Java Applets on my sites and though I

The Internet has become so important in our daily lives. My first real notice of the Internet? I was searching for a macro that would convert my Word .doc software user's manuals to html-- so that I could install the guides online for my Navy customer. When I think about it-- I am amazed at how important the Internet has become in everyday life-- and I am not sure why. I love technology.Back

I have been busy updating links, tools and services found on WiredPages. WiredPages is a news service which doubles as a showcase for my software tools. Included in these year-end updates:Reinstalled the ZipCode Retriever on the Business page.Replaced the Top Movies Magnet on the Entertainment page-- [broken feed].Many changes to the Reference PageOne or two updates to the Shopping Page.Numerous

Yesterday, ABC News reported [along with others I am sure], the Tribune Company had filed under Chapter 11-- their link. The Tribune Company owns several papers like the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun. It also owns the jobs site CareerBuilder, Apartments.com [I developed a widget awhile back to use on the WiredPages Real Estate Page], cars.com, several television stations, the Chicago

Awhile back I discovered the Books-A-Million query I have on the WiredPages Shopping Page no longer worked. I corrected the problem, sort of on the fly [meaning I corrected the online file/page] and then later updated the file I keep on an intermediate disc for these types of updates. I made a mistake when I corrected the file I keep on the intermediate disc which rendered all of the queries on

Today, 3 of my Meetup groups are having events. One was this morning in Northern Va, one is this evening in Washington and the last is in Glen Burnie, MD. I often check to see what is going on with those groups I have joined. I belong to about 28 local area [Washington Metropolitan area] Meetups and my groups have either something to do with business, entrepreneurship or software. I also

ProfessionalProfiles is a listing service which I promote quite heavily and offer to users that want more online exposure. When I have gone to Meetups in the past-- the indication has been many cannot submit their profiles. Today, while updating a new profile I submitted, I noticed a high number of users in the User table:Most of the 729 user records in the database are blank. This could be

There are so many business related events in my area, that I am often left unsure which of the events-- I cannot afford to miss. One such event, A Woman in Business-- 2nd Annual Business Expo being held in Laurel this year [November 1st]. I recently spoke with Erica Brooks, one of the organizers-- and added her profile to ProfessionalProfiles-- here.Would you like to add your profile to

Today, I received notification that my 1800-Flowers affiliation has been temporarily suspended.

I am in the process of trying to generate more interest in the ProfessionalProfiles service. To that end, I am adding 30 day complimentary listings for those professionals I come in contact with-- who provide me with a business card and for whom I can easily find bios. Do you maintain an "about us" page on your site? Oddly enough I do not-- which is surprising since that is what I am looking

I just spoke with Shea from DoubleClicks. She explained that they are now owned by Google and email addresses were updated.
