FireBoard and ScratchBack.com

by thought on November 13, 2007

Today I noticed a similarity in two advertising widgets. I am not going to make any assumptions on whether or not one inspired the other, but I just want to make a few observations on the two.

I first heard about the OneYearGoal.com FireBoard back on July 16, 2007 when it was released. Initially I didn’t think much about the widget because I wasn’t into monetization at the time, but the idea seemed quite innovative. FireBoard allows you to pay $1 to get a link under a category labeled, “Featured Sites.”

Today as I was surfing the net I came across ScratchBack.com and immediately remembered the FireBoard tool. Right away I noticed how the two function almost exactly the same. Yes, the ScratchBack.com widget is much more commercialized, but they basically seem to do the same thing. The ScratchBack.com widget allows you place a certain amount on your available spaces and places them under a header which reads, “Are you in my TopSpots?”

Are these two widgets similar? I think so. Perhaps just two different individuals with two similar widgets. I am just here to make observations.

When do you believe this Real Estate market will go back in a positive direction? Or is it still too early to tell? We are seeing plenty of housing foreclosures in Altamonte Springs Florida. What about you? Would adore to get your feedback on this.

What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.
