Got Punk’d On TechCrunch

Just imagine getting linked by one of the biggest blogs around. With a potential of 619,000 RSS readers and most likely even more regular traffic, you’d be wetting your pants! Now it takes some work to get featured on a massive scale like that, or simply a quick email where you let them know what’s up with company xyz. That’s why the big boys always have the news first, because their readers keep an eye out for them and tip them off as soon as something happens. Remember a few days ago when Advertlets went belly up? Silly buggers forgot to renew their domain!
Edward Khoo emailed us about it, to see if it was worth a mention, but we had never even heard about Advertlets previously so we kindly declined Eddie’s ’scoop’.
TechCrunch was another recipient of Edward’s email (wonder which one of us he mailed first) and they jumped on the news right away. Go Ed! You’ve just been linked by TechCrunch, get ready for some pants wetting - or not. Unfortunately as you can see in the article, TechCrunch editors made a boo-boo and broke the linkback to poor Ed. Does that suck or what?!
Anyway, we know it’s not of a TechCrunch magnitude, but here’s a (working) link from us Ed, we hope it takes away the pain of not being featured by TC.
In other news, as you can see we’ve added our twitter updates to the sidebar. Just having signed up for an account a few hours go, it’s not a very interesting read yet, and it might probably never ever be interesting, but you’re free to follow us on twitter!
Update! Mr Problogger is doing another ‘Show off your workplace’ post, so here’s our entry. We’ve moved stuff around a bit since last time so we figured we’d enter again. (click to enlarge)

That’s really sick. Too bad for Ed though.
the theme is so cool.. making mooney hehe…

Was there life before Leopard?
good good stuff john john!
I got the same iMac.
Hopefully I’ll have some time later to submit my workspace to Darren.
Unlucky Ed! nice of you to give him a link John. Loving the workplace, especially the cow on the right! and its official: i have the same style desk lamp as John Cow
Love the blog.
Every bloggers want traffic and tipping news is one good way. Too bad for Ed that Techcruch does not credit him highly for the tip.
Go go John the nicest!
Pretty unlucky Ed … still some publicity from Cow is a nice consolation
Very nice pc.
I will be having a contest on my blog http://celhub.blogspot.com anyone who is interested are welcome to join.
Of course I emailed you first
Many thanks for the linkback!
Coda = sweet!
And you know you can turn off the ugly transparency on the Leopard menubar, right? With a terminal command and not some resource-sucking program?
I haven’t found a single person who likes the menubar - Leopard’s UI was a huge flop, if you ask me.
Wow that really sucks that TechCrunch made such a mistake. If that happened to me I would probably jump off a bridge…

Pretty nice setup you got there!
Sweet office Cow. I dig the little cow toy!
I quit the desktop computer 2 years ago… Now I am strictly lap top and WiFi.
Nobody would be impressed with my office
he has a nokia e61 hehe. one of my phones, i also have 3 s.e.k800i, one htc touch, n73, lg chocolate, motorola z1 and nokia n95 8gb.
yeah i know im a cell phone geek
but im a magician aswell!
Hey your work place rocks….Cow I need something like this
That would really stink to be excited about a link from TC only to have your whole world ripped away from you! Agghhh
Maybe we should have a charity event “Links for Ed!”
pretty cow at right and very nice mac but I don`t like the simil wood of the dashboard!. You have a great blog!
Nice 24″ iMac you got there… as I said in the post on my blog, it’s a bit excessive for me. My work area is fairly small… I’ll probably be getting the 20″, unless you want to fork over some extra cash my way to encourage me to get the 24″?
Life before Leopard? I struggle to understand how I existed! I’ve written a book on Leopard, maybe I’ll send you a milky copy
I actually did a post about my workspace some time ago. But now I keep the pictures in my about me page.
Blogging can´t just be about what your readers see, its the style that counts, if you think their workspace is nice, check out mine
Cool I Like your Working place Mooooooooooooooooooooo
Yes really interesting. Thank You
Damn that sucks.
Nice setup…i think you need to get a pair of matching screens though
I hate macs
Lovely picture. But does it a real thing? Haven’t seen that kind of screen and keyboard before. got to get them some day.
