Triggit quietly upgraded in the last week or so without telling even me…the Triggit pimpmeister. It’s a small upgrade for some, but for those of us who like our images to be placed pretty in our blogs, it’s a major advance. Now your images can not only be placed

right…

…Left…

…and the ever popular center….

But NOW your text flows around it in oh so sexy ways! Now that’s what I call a face lift! Go Triggit. Be happy!

Paying Attention : Weblog
I’ve seen that quite a few people have been frustrated working with the Roller editor to add photos and images to their blogs. I’ve found a way around all that.

It’s been a few days since I started doing my migration from the old servers, so I’m way behind on my pimping, but the fine folks of Triggit have made a demo reel that explains it all…(inserted right here by Triggit, ‘natch)

The Good news: Confeti likes Triggit!

The Great news: If you read Arabic, it’s a really nice review and description of how to use the tool.  Even if you don’t read Arabic, it’s such a pretty language to look at!

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “Hey! Kep hasn’t said a word about Triggit in almost two days. Well, my friends, your wait is over! Here’s snipits from a fresh new batch of views and reviews about my favorite monetizing Firefox add on: TRIGGIT!

But on first glance, it’s an elegant solution to a problem that I don’t have.

I really like Phil’s review of Triggit here. It’s not that he’s all glowing, he’s not, but he really digs into the product nicely…and he’s spot on, it’s a problem HE doesn’t have. But for the rest of us blogging types with no interest in learning to code in order to communicate, it’s just damn nifty!

Aaron Wall (over at Web Pro News) has just put up a great little explaination /  tutorial about how (and why) to use Triggit. If you’re still on the fence, here’s a nice, hard push.

PLUS! it comes with a groovy video done up by a gent named Shoemoney…alone worth the trip, and doubles your value right away!

Go Triggit, Be Happy.

In my continuing hype about the product and company known as TRIGGIT, I bring you the latest feature from WIRED Magazine:

Specifically, I like these excerpts:

 

Zach Coelius came to San Francisco at age 25, as a Minnesota native and Silicon Valley outsider. Within a month he crashed the high-profile Demo conference and charmed his way into a top-secret poker game among venture capitalists, where he won a thousand dollars in seed funding for a then-nonexistent company.

It looks like a win-win situation for advertisers and bloggers. Affiliate marketing is a cheap way for advertisers to expand their reach. For bloggers, Triggit is a nifty way to link to products or to pull photos from Flickr, ideally increasing their blogs’ visual appeal as well as enhancing their revenue. The tool lets bloggers drag and drop ads, YouTube videos or Flickr pictures directly into their sites.

What’s not to like?

Go Triggit, Be happy!

That’s right, kiddos, the almighty Triggit (that’s www.triggit.com, folks) enters Beta today and as the godfather who named the child I couldn’t be prouder. With all seriousness, this product is rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with…here’s what some other fine folks have said:

Rafe Needleman at WebWare says:
It makes it extremely easy to embed pictures from Flickr, videos from YouTube, affiliate sales links from Amazon, and several other types of links.

Nick Gonzalez of TechCrunch explains:
Triggit lets you make WYSIWYG edits on any site where you can post their Javascript tag, most likely your own.

Kurt Schrader at Schrade.blog declares:
This is a game-changing sort of tool that will make your life as a blogger much easier.
Stacy Higginbotham of Gagaom continues:
…Triggit would make a nice addition to a blog publisher or even a portal company such as Google or Yahoo!

There’s more out there…oh yes, folks are noticing! Haven’t tried out Triggit for yourself yet? WELL! there’s no excuse now…click on any of the links above and grab one of the limited BETA codes and give it a go like Kristen Nichol at Mashable who declared it’s like a fun little magic trick. I was presented with a blog and the triggit tool, which is a browser-based plugin that lets you search for, and place content onto the blog, which is present for any site visitor to see.

More Triggit news to come!

Zach over at the Triggit blog isn’t sure what he thinks about Amazon’s new toy the Kindle. I, on the other hand, know exactly what I think…it’s a really expensive way to squint at at page…and heaven forbid you lose it. The Kindle is a great start…no question about it…the world is going that way and that’s that. Viva la technologie! BUT! At $399.00 a pop and another $9.99 for books (not paper books mind you, just the kind Kindle reads), you have to buy and read more than TWENTY K-books (assuming you by at aprox. $20 each at a Boraders bestsellers table) before you start saving any money over the paper equivilant. And unlike the paper, you can’t easilly lend it to your friends, pass it around the office or…as I often do…spill coffee on it and leave it in an airport men’s room…or if I did, I’d probably have a stroke. So, for now, I applaud Amazon for getting this to market, I look forward to playing with one, I hope i get proven wrong and the technology takes off like a bat out of hell, but unil this (or it’s decendant) gets below $100 the mass market acceptance won’t be there.
