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:

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!

Der Kep!

And the new, improved and much loved blog / portfolio is coming soon!

It’s been quite a while folks, but I’ve sobered up and OY! Do I have some doozies for you this week!

First up is OFFICE MINI GOLF! http://www.venusarcade.com/Office-Mini-Golf.htm

What’s better than practicing your putt on the company dime? How about playing 18 on the company desks. In the spirit of Desktop Tower Defense this takes your golf game down to a professional level. The music is snappy…but gets old fast (might make a good ringtone however). The graphics are exactly as good as they need to be…any better and they’d be distracting, any worse and they’d be boring. The physics are decent…they could certainly be better…but very playable and a perfect way to feel like you’ve done something when in fact you’ve done nothing at all. Good fun!

Next up is JellyJumper! http://www.jellyjumper.com

Ok, here’s an offering from our friends at Logitech. Simple, take a little green jelly man and have him bounce all over a key board (Logitech, of course) and hit the required keys. This is fun for a few runs to be sure. Best of all, you earn coupons…so hey, if you’re going to buy Logitech anyway, go play a game and save some green (hmm…the guy’s green, I wonder if that’s why). Oh yeah, the mute button is in the lower right corner. You’re welcome.

Finally, meet Clubby the Seal! http://www.kongregate.com/games/Edmund/clubby-the-seal

Isn’t it nice to know that in a world full of senseless, brutal violence there are games that make all that filth seem tame? On the other hand, perhaps you like the idea of a baby seal seeking revenge with a club? You too? Yeah. Not recomended for anyone who loves seals, babies or Eskimos…or is under the age of 35-and-a-half.

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.

Jay at OnlineOpportunity.org has given Triggit a fantastic, honest looksee.

This is especially cool for Wordpress users, since Wordpress has traditionally had poor image management features.

TRUE! This very blog is Wordpress and it definately makes it simple!

All in all, though, a very cool technology.

Well, sure, I wouldn’t be talking so much about it if it weren’t!

Definately read what else he has to say!

Oh my brothers, this here is mighty good indeed!

The early reviews for TRIGGIT (www.triggit.com folks…like you didn’t know) are starting to fly in and they are MIGHTY fine indeed!

Here’s the quick and the dirty (or not so dirty):

Over and over again posts pop up here and there about how to market comic books, magic tricks and other sundry things on the Internet. Well, Triggit (that’s my peeps!) have been working on a way to help you do just that…or just pretty up your blog. I’d really appreciate you all taking TRIGGIT for a spin and letting me know what you think!

My company, Triggit (www.triggit.com), is now holding a private Alpha Test of our flagship product (cunningly called TRIGGIT). And I need YOU to give it a whirl!

What is Triggit? Triggit is a way to quickly and easily add Amazon links, Flickr photos, Commission Junction links, You Tubes and more to your blog. It does this AFTER the blog has been written, will help you search out and find relevant links, remember your affiliate ids, and basically make linking your blogs to the right places really easy.

Ok, so what does this mean to you? Here’s a few examples:

1. You’ve just written a post about the greatest Whack-a-Mole game you ever played and you want to show people who might not know what it is a video. Click the TRIGGIT button and it will search out Whack-a-mole videos on You Tube for you and after you select the one you want it will embed it into your blog…you just highlight where it goes. BAM!

2. You’ve written reviews on 15 comics and 4 CDs that you want to direct people to. Amazon offers affiliate ids and pays for referrals…why not collect? simply hit TRIGGIT, highlight the title and select the page that comes up from the list. The next time one of your readers buys a book on your recommendation, you’ll get a piece fo the action. Don have or want an affiliate id? No worries, you can still link up and simply add the link as value added for your readers. Got four years of reviews? COOL! You don’t have to go in one at a time, just highlight and link them right up. Simple!

TRIGGIT does lots more, and I’d REALLY appreciate you checking it out.

That’s the why, here’s the how and where:

There’s a video on the site explaining how it works and I’m in the process of putting together a comic-strip instruction manual. There’s lots more to come on this, but this is definately going to help you get your blog monetized.

Also, before you ask, TRIGGIT will NOT interfere with any other products or systems you might be using (ala Google Analytics).

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help!
