Cafe Press - JBlogger
Is your neighbor harboring a secret life? Are the people you see on the streets and in stores your secrets friends? Wouldn't it be cool to have some way to recognize fellow jbloggers? Here's my idea of how to solve this problem.

Your help is not appreciated
I just asked FrumSkeptic about her yidsense ads, if she made any money and how well they're paying. She mentioned that google closed her adsense. I'm guessing this was due to someone trying to "help" her.
I was talking to one of my friends and mentioned to him that I have adsense and that they pay per click. Then I had to tell him in no uncertain terms that he's not, under any circumstance, to go to my blog and click on the ads.
If you think you're helping your fellow blogger by clicking on the ads, you're not. Google's not stupid. They monitor who clicks, from what IP, at what time and if they came from a search or directly. If they see someone clicking daily from same IP and/or who came to the site directly instead of via searching or even if by searching but from same IP or same IP pool, they will close the account and they will zero out the balance. Though your thoughts are appreciated, you actions are absolutely not.

Excuse me sir, that's my bagel you're trying to eat
I went to a bris today. Small shul in a basement. I get my seat, get my plate and cup. Make myself a bagel and pour some orange juice into my cup. Then I go to wash. I come back, some middle aged guy is just slipping into my seat.
Dude, do you see the bagel and the full cup? And the meal just started so it's not like someone left a half-eaten bagel and left. When I indicated to the guy that it's my food he's sitting in front of, he had the audacity to be upset about having to vacate my seat.
On the other hand, I again ended sitting at the rabbi's table for shacharit and not the first time too. For some reason, when I go to a different shul I end up sitting by the rabbi's table. The previous time it was by rabbi Gornish. Is it my fault that I come on time and take a sit at some table. And both times no one bothered to mention that it's the rabbi's table.
When the rabbi comes, I can either get up and move and acknowledge my faux pas or continue sitting because I was there first and it's the fault of the guy sitting next to me for not telling me it's the rabbi's table. Yep, I continued sitting there. Me, admit doing something wrong?! I'm not the one that's wrong, it's the rules that changed. ;-)

BlogRolling
While not as entertaining as CowTipping, BlogRolling is quiet the worthwhile endeavor. It helps with acquiring new readers and also letting your current readers know of other blogs that you find fascinating or, at least, mildly enjoyable. There is, however, one drawback. Once linked, you become, in a sense, friends and your previously favorite activity of posting rude and disparaging comments is now very much frowned upon.
There's one aspect of blogrolling which I find extremely confusing. I have noticed, on several occasions, bloggers either asking if it was acceptable that they blogrolled someone or if they may do so. Would a blogger really reply that no, it's not acceptable and that he/she doesn't want any of the other blogger's readers happening upon his blog. Total absurdity.
