ImAFish

The ImAFish Forum has seen its best month since May 2006 in what's been hailed as an epic revival. It was only five months ago in February that the Forum had its worst month ever.

The Forum Posts Per Month graph can be found on ImAFish Reports. The data goes all the way back from when the forum was founded in 2002. I've tried to see if there are any patterns in posting habits however there are no clear trends.

May seems a particularly good month throughout the years, this could be put down to it being exam time meaning members were looking for more ways to procrastinate however considering most members have full time jobs now this no longer applies.

Posting figures had been stabilising until about a year ago when the number of posters decreased, this dip lasted about 10 months until June when activity started to pick up again.

The number of posts per month on the forum is far from the early days in 2002 and 2003

I've just added a life feed to ImAFish, it syndicates everything I do on Digg, Flickr, Twitter and ImAFish.

To get your own Life Feed on ImAFish there are instructions on the forum.

Has anyone else played around with life feeds - does anyone use them?

After one of my recent rants I used an image of Gordon Ramsay saying 'Done'. I received a number of comments saying how funny it was and how it would make a great Internet meme so I've put together an image generator that lets you create your own Gordon Ramsay sayings!

Once your happy with your image right click it, select save as and change the extension to .png, you can then use it anywhere on the web.

Much love for Terri Ann and her writing text to images with php tutorial which was 99% of the work DONE.

With all the hype over the new 3G iPhone as announced by Apple last week that we have a new website launching today dedicated to videos of the iPhone.

www.iphonevideos.net

The site is constantly updated with the latest videos of iPhones, iPhone tutorials, iPhone unlocking and iPhone Adverts. 

I stumbled upon this site earlier which asks 19 questions about your site in order to calculate how much its worth. Apparently ImAFish is worth $23,000 (£11,500) - any takers? You can pay me through Paypal.

The questions includes current revenue, Alexa and Google Page Rank, RSS subscribers, monthly hits and future projections.

How much is your blog worth?

Often I get writers block, sometimes it last for days, othertimes weeks. When I emerge with new inspiring ideas they fall in one of three categories.

1. Something useful often techical - these sorts of posts often end up as articles like my recent 10 useful mac tips article. If I'm lucky these sorts of posts go all around the net getting me a few hundred thousand new visitors.
2. Rants - these posts not unsimilar to this one are highly sarcastic, humorous fast paced and often hard to follow. Phrases such as 'much love' are used and more recently photos of Gordan Ramsay saying 'Done' (like he does in the fword).
3. Unfinished posts - I often start writing top X lists only to write the first three or four and run out of good ideas. Either I fill it with a few lame entries or give up for another day.

I guess what I'm trying to find out is how does your writing style change depending on your mood and inspiration? In this sense is writing a blog different to say writing for a newspaper or magazine?

June 5th 2008 - Shrewsbury based world famous ImAFish celebrates its seventh birthday today. The site's had a bumper year with over 250,000 visits with one of its features hitting the front page of Digg.com.

Site founder Pete White said "It's been the best year ever for ImAFish with such a huge number of visits and increasing revenue. It is a testament to the brand that ImAFish has survived for seven years and I can imagine it will be around for seven more. Our move to Drupal at the beginning of the year and our updated design have been a great move. We have recently launched two new sites to go along with ImAFish and have high hopes for both."

Some of the highlights of the year include:

Ei42.com - A Revolution In Cash Back?

Make Hundreds of Pounds Through Online Bingo

How To Handle The Jerk Next To You On An Airplane

Getting Dugg and Surviving - 70,000+ Hits in One Week

It's been a busy couple of months for me with moving house, moving office and launching two new websites (www.ipodhistory.com and www.scaryvideoclips.org). Apart from my big post on 10 useful OSX functions ImAFish has been relatively quiet.

I'm looking to expand my website portfolio over the coming months so if you have a website making a few dollars/day contact me through ImAFish and I might be interested in purchasing it.

ImAFish will be seven years old soon, I know its around this time of year we are due a birthday, if anyone can remember the exact date I will buy them a beer (and put it in my calendar!).

ImAFish is proud to launch it's latest website:
