Linkwithin > Outbrain?
I haven’t been collecting data on this but purely by observation, it seems like my previous install of Linkwithin generated more internal clicks than Outbrain. Providing similar services for recommended posts, Outbrain sounded more comprehensive, so I made the switch.
Now I’m not so sure. I recall more clicks recorded from Linkwithin recommendations. There are a few from Outbrain, but much less on a daily basis. Maybe it’s time to change back?

From Blazing to Fat to Now Open
Blazing Steaks in the Enchanted Lakes Shopping Center is no more, changing to a new Fat Greek location. Fat Greek was “opening soon” for a long, long time, but as of this week, Fat Greek is now open for business in Kailua.
Look for their other location on Ala Moana Blvd in Waikiki.
Upgraded to Disqus 2012
Did you notice anything different with the comments section for each post? Pulpconnection’s comment engine has been upgraded to the beta version of Disqus 2012. I’ve been using Disqus for some time after switching from Intense Debate. So far, I’m liking the improvements this newer version of Disqus brings, namely the consolidated area for comments and community.
At its core, Disqus handles blog post comments aka Discussions.
But now there are additional tabs bringing you closer to related activities like viewing Top Discussions and Top Commenters. In the past, this information was available but typically in separate widgets.
You can also vote on comments and easily share them in your other social circles. With these added features, I might take out the Recent Comments in the right sidebar.
Until Disqus 2012 is released to the general public, you can request an invite (my request took about 2 days before I was invited).
Lucky LEGO Find
There I was walking around when something caught my eye. It was the Caped Crusader in LEGO minifig form, and he was sitting atop trash discarded items. Everyone knows you can’t leave your wingman, and you definitely can’t abandon the pilot of the Batwing.
So I staged a rescue and now got this guy standing on my desk (after a good cleaning).
LeBron Active Wear at TJ Maxx
TJ Maxx is known for carrying designer and name brand clothing, so I wasn’t too surprised when I found Nike LeBron James active wear in store. Along with lots of thongs, the new Pearl City TJ Maxx sells Nike and Adidas active wear, and not just the basic designs, but the more premium variety.
Normally $40, I got these LeBron pants for $17! Â Nothing like kicking it at home in LeBron capri pants. They are capris, right?
Heinz Now Selling “Guess What My Bottle Is Made Of?”
I kid you not. Wonder how plants are made into bottles.
The Speed and Expertise of Tweeters
Twitter could very well be the way to get answers to esoteric questions. Â For example, don’t know what this Doritos flavor is. Ask the Twitterverse and get a quick expert reply. Â Follow along…
And the integration of Storify with the Tweetbot iOS client is a good match.
