A few updates.

1. Most of my more important and difficult schoolwork is now taken care of, and I will be spending a lot more time this year trying to shift towards the web 2.0-type designs and features in my sites. I am quite cognizant of the somewhat-antiquated look of Videyos and Tutorial Monkey at the moment, but because it never seemed to stop them from generating revenue, I didn’t really want to do much. But truth be told, I’ve been mired in too much schoolwork the past year or so to be able to do any noticeable amount on those sites, but this will change in the upcoming months.

2. I am considering a new project that will be largely an experiment with viral marketing. I won’t disclose too much details here yet, but I will update as this develops. All I will say for now is that I’ve been doing a tremendous amount of research lately (books, articles in TechCruch/Mashable, other entrepreneurs, blogs, etc.), and I’m looking to make something a lot more .. modern (for lack of a better word to use).

3. I’ve been playing around with my iPod Touch quite a bit recently, and with the new announcement of the iPad, I want to try to look into these iPhone/iPod/iPad applications… From what I see so far, there really isn’t too much out there that hasn’t already been made (ugh, should have bought an iTouch/iPhone earlier), but this is a huge and expanding market.. and a comment on the iPad criticisms.. Yes, it’s only an oversized iPod Touch, but size really makes a difference with many applications. My primary issue is the lack of multitasking support, but I’m sure Apple will change this in future releases.

That’s all for now, folks. Look for more frequent updates here in the coming months. I’m really starting to pick it up now, and school won’t be as big an issue as before.
