September 14th, 2007 - - Filled in: Friday's Finds

So much has happened this week that I had to contain myself for this week’s Friday’s Finds. Here are a few posts I found rather interesting…and useful. I hope you find the same.

Tyler Ingram has experienced a large fluctuation in his Technorati rank as of late. I have as well. I’ve finally reached the “Top 10K” status (thank you, thank you, *bow*bow*), but for a few days this week, I dipped down to 5,082. Tyler has made it easy to monitor your Technorati rank with his Technorati WordPress Plugin. I plan on adding it to my blog; he just released version v0.2. Be sure to check it out, and download it for your blog.
Josh Alper over at The Feed discusses how the New England Patriots got off easy for cheating despite the fines and the potential loss of draft picks. Shame on you, Bill Belichick! I wouldn’t be surprised if he started walking around in shame with that hood pulled over his head. Apparently, he’s pretty tight with Junior Soprano.

The Michael Vick apology on eBay ends today. The current bid is $10,200. The proceeds from the auction benefit The Humane Society of the United States’ (HSUS) efforts to end dogfighting and other forms of animal cruelty through its Animal Cruelty Response and Reward Fund. If you haven’t seen his notes…they’re just some points jotted down on an Omni Hotels notepad. Kinda impressive despite a bad situation.
Ms. Danielle offers up another option for advertisers to make money online from a place where people are already looking to spend. You can buy text link ads on Amazon…one I’m definitely considering. I already use Amazon Associates, and I’m pretty happy with the results I get from that.
