If you go to YackTrack.com today, you might notice some minor differences. First, if you are not logged on to YackTrack, you will no longer see the Dashboard tab. I did not like the idea of a tab that did nothing and just redirecting you to the Login page. It just felt awkward to me.… Read More Just Some Minor YackTrack Tweaking
Given that RegularGeek is just over one year old and the end of the year is here, there will be a few of these year in review type of posts. Today I wanted to present the 10 most talked about posts on this blog. This list contains the 10 posts with the most number of… Read More RegularGeek 10 Most Talked About Posts
In the current issue of Inc Magazine, there is an article about customer feedback. The basic idea is that customers tend to be vocal about the products they use and buy: Whether they are out-of-control cranks or out-of-the-blue evangelists, customers want to have their say. And if you won’t listen to them, the Internet is… Read More YackTrack Highlighted in Inc Magazine
I know everyone must have thought that YackTrack was just another tool that got no love from its owner. This is very far from the truth.

This is all due to performance, mainly the number of services YackTrack supports at this time. I want to continue adding services, but the performance… Read More YackTrack Performance Issues

This includes development on YackTrack, which brings me to the point of this post. YackTrack now has its own feed flare! Many… Read More YackTrack Gets a FeedFlare

For some reason, they did not really present their opinion, but at least admitted that it is an interesting problem. Steven… Read More Who Owns Comments? Who Cares.
I know 50 posts is like about a week for some established blogs, but it has taken me a bit to get there. My last post announcing YackTrack feeds and an API was the 50th post. Given that I have tried to stay to 2 in depth posts per week, this is a slightly big… Read More 50 Posts and Administrivia
