First off let me state that I blog for money, that's what I do for a living and I like it. For the most part I can make my own hours, go out to lunch with a friend if I want to, go to school meetings and go to the gym. I just have to make up the work later. The downside is that if I take a day off because I'm sick, no one is going to do the work for me, it will still have to be done when I get back.

Jennifer, from Network Blogging Tips blogged about an important lesson she learned about blogging for money. It can become addicting. You're asked to take on one more job and you think, what's one more. Soon you have way too much to do and not enough time to do it all. Soon you're pulling your hair out.

When this happens you have to sit back and think about what's more important in your life. Your blogging, your networking, eating, family. Then you need to give something up. Or, you need to learn to say "No" in the first place.

Amazon Web Services has lowered their pricing for users using over 10 terabytes of data a month. The new pricing, set to take effect 1 May 2008 looks like this:
  • $0.100 per GB - data transfer in (same as old price)
  • $0.170 per GB - first 10 TB / month data transfer out (a $0.01 per GB savings)
  • $0.130 per GB - next 40 TB / month data transfer out (a $0.03 per GB savings)
  • $0.110 per GB - next 100 TB / month data transfer out (a $0.02 per GB savings)
  • $0.100 per GB - data transfer out / month over 150 TB (a $0.03 per GB savings)
These prices should help lower the burn rates of Web 2.0 companies everywhere who use Amazon to help provide services.

If you're going to travel to a major city then you're going to need a hotel. TvTrip helps you find one in a unique way. For each hotel they have listed on their site, some of the team from TvTrip have already gone there for you and made a video of their experience.

They go to each hotel, personally, and film the rooms, lobby, exercise rooms, bathrooms and sometimes even the view from the window, as is. They've filmed thousands of hotels in Europe for you and have recently started filming US hotels too. This is great if you're going to visit one of the cities they've been to because you get to see your hotel before you go to it, from a first hand perspective.

From TvTrip you can also book your hotel. When you go to book your hotel you can see prices from several different online companies such as Expedia, Booking.com, Hotel Club and Venere. This way you're bound to get a good price.

Chances are, if you use Twitter heavily like I do, you noticed all kinds of weird things over the past several days. Twitter did some maintenance Friday night, which isn't all that unusual. After that maintenance, most people's updates were not showing up properly on people's timelines. The way this manifested itself was that Twitter appeared quiet-almost too quiet.

Once they sorted out the issues, all the updates started flooding in. Problem was, they were out of order and, by the time they showed up, several days old. It looked like someone sneezed all over my timeline!

Finally, on Monday night before I went to bed, I noticed Twitter starting to look normal. It appeared to be so today.

Having been on Twitter before the SXSW invasion in 2006, and back when it was called Twttr, I have seen a number of these growing pains. It goes with the territory of this service.
