For a long time, I’ve believed that the future of operating systems lies in a browser - hence Web Browser OS.

If you think about it, the only thing you SHOULD need to get up and running is a basic OS that runs your computer and opens up a web browser (which Linux does nicely).

WindowsForAll does exactly that.  It allows you to use the Silverlight technology and open up a full, Windows operating system in your web browser.

This os browser operating system deploys quickly and you can run all the native components on it.  The downside is you can’t store data and files on the instance because it technically ‘lives in the cloud.’

As clustering technology and server disk drives increase in size though, we’ll be able to enjoy the full potential of browser based operating systems!

I am ecstatic about this…  Smashing Apps just had a writeup about this new piece of software that turns your Photoshop templates into WordPress themes quickly and easily.  And free!

That software is Divine.

How it works is you:

• Download and install divine
• Open Photoshop and launch Divine
• Assign all the WordPress elements like post title, post date, etc
• Specify your FTP parameters and upload your new theme to the web!

Truly, this is going to put a whole new spin on WordPress theme design - and it’ll probably put quite a few blog design companies out of business - which is unfortunate.  Looking forward to what happens with this app though!

Pay per click is one of those crazy advertising models that can either be a godsend or the bane of your existence.

About two months ago, I found this software that I was itching to use called Prosper202.  And since I’ve been doing a lot with information products and driving traffic, this PPC management app looked pretty cool.

Here’s some of the features:

• Increase your profits with real-time PPC analytics. Our unbeatable analytics give you real-time performance updates-so you have a clear picture on how well your campaigns are performing.
• PPC success is in the details. In order to succeed in PPC marketing you need the ability to track
  everything. Tracking202 gives you unprecedented details for every click-letting you weed out poor performing campaigns, keywords, and ads.
• Features you won’t find anywhere else Tracking202 is truly a revolutionary tracking system. Get real-time data, RSS feeds, keyword tracking, cloaking, spy view, text ad tracking, referrer tracking and much more-all in one place!

It’s very cool stuff.  If you try it out, let me know how you like it!

I love open source software.  Truly I do.

About a month ago, in the quest of looking for good affiliate software to run campaigns for some of my sites from, I found an interesting little app called Affiliates For All.

Here’s a bit of a sneak peak:

If you are running an e-commerce site, you almost certainly have affiliates and need affiliate management software. Affiliates for All is the new affiliate management system that everyone is talking about.

It’ll do everything you expect from affiliate management software:

• Fixed commission rates or percentages
• affiliate cookie lifetime
• lifetime commission to the affiliate or just the first order
• emails to affiliates
• reporting

I like it a lot.  I have been using it and testing it for a little while now and it seems to hold up pretty well, even under some pretty serious affiliate linking stress.  Definitely, check it out here: Affiliates for All

Well we’re on this conversation, what do you use for affiliate tracking?  Clickbank? Or another paid affiliate manager package?

In case you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I’m knee deep in training and membership courses. I’ve been building them out for years now, but lately I’ve been doing longer, more in depth ones.

I thought you might be interested in one I’m planning on launching in the next week or so. It’s called AnalyticsMaster.com.

To make a long story short, I discovered a system that lets you funnel your organic blog traffic into a companion site. The process is pretty easy and I want to share it with you.

I scheduled a webinar to step you through the process tomorrow (Tuesday, July 7th) from 3PM EST to 4PM EST. To get access to the mind-blowing webinar - check it out here.

I shared a ton of tools that’ll get you started.

If you’re still interested in learning more about the course, sign up for the updates below, or head over to the Analytics Master information page to get started.

Believe me when I tell you this system will take your existing traffic and generate real cash out of it. I did it by building Creating Slogans because of a #1, first page rank for the term ‘Best Slogans’ and this site, MarketingHackz.com.

Within 6 days, Creating Slogans sold out at 1000 memberships..

In the next couple months, I’m going to be doing a lot of articles on NetHackz describing the different tools and software applications that you can use to build your own niche businesses. More on that to come, though.

Lifestreaming is cool. The last time I check, I was active on close to 15 social media sites. True, ping.fm brings a lot of those together, but it isn’t perfect yet!

I came across AmpliFeeder in my Twitter stream the other day and thought I’d share it. It seems pretty solid but I don’t like that I can’t install it on my PHP/MySQL server..

• Combine and archive your activity from lots of different services. Adding new services is a complete breeze. It’s easy.
• Easy to style and personalize.  AmpliFeeder is built to make theming and personalisation as simple as possible with standard XHTML & CSS. Be unique.
• Pull yourself together.  Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Google Shared Items, Tumblr, Digg, Reddit, LastFM, Stumbleupon, Delicious, Upcoming, Mixx & more
• Open Source and AGPL Licensed.  Runs on industry standard ASP.NET 3.5, SQL Server Express and IIS: A rock solid foundation for exceptional web applications

What are your favorite lifestreaming apps?  I personally use WordPress plugins for anything I do, and I’ve played around with SweetCron, but what about you?

Job boards are definitely cool things. I once had a client call me looking for one and was willing to pay up to $10K for it. He was a pain in the ass so I never went through with it, but I did find some cool open source apps to get the job done.

JobberBase is the best server-side application I could find. It’s based on the ever popular jobber.ro and features a complete admin panel for the administrator to manage the site. (A lot of software I found was admin panel-less which is not cool in my book).

The install itself is relatively painless. Unzip, upload, establish a database, chmod some files, edit the config file… If you want to edit the look and feel of the site though, you have to be a pretty proficient coder. The programming in it is top notch but is largely uncommented.

Just for testing purposes, and to build a little site, I put up FindingGuests.com. My thought was it might be a cool place for podcasters who were looking for guests for their show. All the current website offerings in that space suck, so I tried to build one that didn’t :0)

Have a look at Jobberbase and let me know what you think!

Normally, I’m not real big on featuring Twitter apps on NH, but I wanted to do this one real quick. Probably because I called in to test them last night and the transcription was excellent! Goog-411 has nothing on these guys..

Anyway, here’s a quick video of Tweetcall. Let me know what you think of the app!

WordPress is one of the most extensible, flexible pieces of software I’ve ever used. Quite simply, you can do anything with it! Some of the top blogs and websites in the world use WordPress to manage day to day web publishing tasks.

So I wanted to do a free webinar for everyone new to setting up a blog! This is going to be the first in a series of advanced blogging webinars that will help you harness the power of WordPress.

Here’s some of the things we’ll be covering in this webinar:

• Installing WordPress on your server

• Installing new plugins and themes
• Simple SEO and link strategies
