The pictures from the last ShareASale “Under the Stars” Party that was held during Affiliate Summit 2008 West in Vegas this past February are finally available.

The party was held in one of the Sky Villas on the top floors of the Fantasy Tower in the Palms Hotel. In keeping with custom, Brian Littleton of ShareASale.com, did it up again — upscale style — a tradition we could all get used to.

I’m glad that the pictures are finally available. It brought back some great memories!

Almost everyone knows that I’d do anything for my friend and business partner, Shawn Collins. He is the yang to my yin when it comes to our business relationship.

It is with those heartfelt feelings that I am begging the online marketing community to help me, help Shawn stop creating these goofy videos, like the one above.

I don’t know how it started and I’m really not sure how it got to this point. All I know is that it’s completely out of hand now and I’m calling on the help of everyone I know to make it stop.

Please help me, help Shawn. Post your prayers and pleas for him to stop either here or on Obama2.com

Friends don’t let friends make goofy videos.

Just back from Izea Devasaurus put on by Ted Murphy, Founder/CEO of Izea. The idea behind Devasaurus is to get the Orlando Dev Community to meet the folks at Izea, foster local innovation and get us crazy O-town folks mingling.

I got to check out their offices, which were pretty cool and their new innovation, CloudShout which is a tool that enables conversation across blogs and websites. I have to tell you, I was very impressed. While I didn’t get the Dev Mumbo Jumbo, I definitely got the idea of what they were trying to accomplish — and it rocks.

They opened up their request for blogger and dev invites today for their alpha phase and I just signed up. They also announced their “Gadget Challenge” in which they are inviting developers to create the coolest gadgets for a chance to win a $5,000 prize to be awarded at IzeaFest.

Unfortunately, I will not be attending IzeaFest this time around as I’ll be walking 60-miles in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day as captain of Affiliate Marketers Worldwide. Maybe the lucky winner, will donate some of their winnings to the walk

There are some slides of the presentation in my pictures.

Check them out and let me know what you think about CloudShout.
