So as you’ve probably heard facebook have relaxed their rules and started approving a lot of new and very profitable stuff. They’ve decided to unban alot of stuff like IQ and Mobile which before, people spent ALOT of time getting on. However, they did recently ban grants – but people were on that shit like hot cakes. Complaints were coming in fast, so they can’t ignore it.

Now with facebook relaxing, the world balance has to be restored. MySpace have become assholes and started getting stricter and more shittier with billing, so beware. I heard they are completely revamping their platform, but we’ll see!

Another of the big things this year is Direct Track fucking up yet again. There was crazy downtime on a lot of the big networks. So I just want to say, don’t lay all your eggs in one basket. Two great non DT networks in my opinion are CX Digital and Hydra which are both custom systems. However, if they broker any offers from other DT networks you’re still messed.

With all the good that has come in 2009 (a lot for me, and I hope a lot for you too) I got my share of the bad. My server at The planet got compromised and they couldn’t careless. They wanted $130/hr to fix it, and wouldn’t look at it till I paid them. They basically left me in the ditch. So I went around looking for a good alternative. I found Liquidweb with their truly heroic support. I cannot thank these guys enough. I started a live chat, and we got a custom quote within minutes a call to confirm and the box was live within 2 hours. Within 4 hours, I Was migrated manually (I used to use interworx, they migrated it to cPanel) to the new server. In the morning I got a follow up call to make sure everything was going smoothly. When my HTTPd failed, I went on chat and a tech called me and fixed the problem on the phone with me! IMPRESSIVE stuff.

What I figured out was, any down time would have probably lost me a few hunred if not a few thousand depending on how long it was out for. Now the different from my new server and the old one is $80 roughly, and the new box is all managed. So they do all the leg work and ensure it stays up. Now if you ask me that $80 is fully justified because now I can relax knowing my server isn’t gonna go down.

I know I haven’t updated the blog in a while, but I have another post drafted so keep an eye out
