Antique Gold or Gold Bottles of that Ace of Spades?

Were the Gold Bottles of that Ace of Spades a Fake?
Have we all been duped by Armand de Brignac's so-dubbed "Gold Bottles of that Ace of Spades" that had the hip-hop community and poseurs pining away for a bottle after seeing Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got" video?

Armand de Brignac first issued this press release. Hip-hop heads Googled away. Then HipHopGame.com busted the game.
Business Week has even buzzed about it, with Burt Helm heading down to an unassuming SoHo building to get to the bottom of the story.

I'm kind of glad that the Gold Bottles of that Ace of Spades don't "really" exist, at least not how we thought it did. No wonder it's supposedly so hard to get your hands on a bottle.

Anyhoo, I was having waking "alpha state" nightmares about any unintended young alcoholics I may have created by writing this blog post called Gold Bottles of That Ace of Spades that had Luxist all abuzz.

My mom always said, "All that glitters is not gold!"

Thanks, Bonnie -

I just switched to Blogger Beta, and I figured folks surfing my blog during official work hours might not appreciate the obvious dark blue background of a possibly non-work related website when their boss sidles up behind them in their cubes. But maybe I'll play around with another color.

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte

Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention.

The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
