Nokia999: Didn't you see the NYT piece - his cat pushes all the buttons on the keyboard - Shawn just looks at the screen ... ;-)
Maybe the cat's the mastermind behind everything...Shawn's just the posterboy. Dude... that cat would never survive up here in Canada...you'd have to bundle it up with four winter parkas (jackets).
Great. Now instead of early mornings dreams of Yoda telling me to join up with the Corps, at 45, I'm gonna have this little dude telling me to get him a beer, or he'll kick my ass. Minstrel, do you do on-forum counseling?
way to go! my site was recently mentioned in nytimes too, and in much lesser way than this, so i know its a big deal. i too just have to say thanks to digital forum members for tons of usefull info! i have been looking for info on this board for some time now but now i decided to join too. cheers to all!
Shawn's done an excellent job with DP. Not with just the forums, but his overall success at his age. I'm fairly young too, so reading these types of articles only fuels my own successes. Most people should take note the amount of free tools Shawn has provided to the web community. If you have an idea, make it free. There are plenty of ways to monetize the traffic...you just need to worry about getting that traffic.
