Vinny Lingham’s Blog

I’ll be travelling for most of April (4th until 24th) and I’ll be in Munich, Paris, London, Boston, Washington D.C. & New York. I’ll be at PubCon in Boston. Drop me a mail if any of you will be in around and would like to meet up - and I’ll see what I can do.

Please don’t expect quick email responses during the next month or so! I’ll try to blog often - but most of my blogging will be during the PubCon conference, so keep reading!

Yahoo want to be the next Google. Google wants to be the next Microsoft. Microsoft wants to be in a world of Microsoft & no Google.

Where the heck does Ask.com fit into all of this? Walter Mossberg wrote this great article about Ask.com. He even claims that it stands up to Google!

I never really liked the old AskJeeves, but Ask.com is certainly something else. Maybe Barry Diller wants to be the next Bill Gates, err… Larry Page….Sergey Brin…. whatever…

I’ll be appearing on SABC2 (South African Channel), on Sunday at 7pm Local time for a gameshow called “Test The Nation“. I’ll be representing the South African Mensa team. Tune in to the show - I’ll need all the support I can get!

I’ve just been given some invitations to the AdCenter Beta Program (MSN). I’m giving them away to the first people to email me (vlingham “at” gmail.com ). I’m not sure how many I have, first come, first served.

Adam Viener just made a post regarding this email I received:

“We’re making drastic corporate changes which will force us to liquidate this multi-million dollar streamlined business This will be a steal for whoever buys it, and if someone in the CPA marketing industry buys it, they will make their investment back in just a few months. Please take a look at the auction, watch the video, and forward it along to whoever you think may be interested in this awesome opportunity.”
