Razzi

Robert — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 04:59:58 +0000

I created Razzi with my neighbor, Michael Fussy. We started development in March of 2010 and it was one year and one day til our soft launch.

For those of you that don’t know, I have a successful YouTube Channel earning some nice money on my content. While this is great for videos, photos are a completely different story. With >7 million views on my Flickr photos it was crazy to be paying them each year and not earning from my photo’s views, like YouTube. So Razzi was born, the photo sharing network with revenue sharing.

Please sign up, upload your photos (or import from Flickr), and add me as a friend!

Sleek Tweet

Robert — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:30:59 +0000

I don’t use twitter to post my own information anymore, but I do use it to keep up with others. Though one thing that has always drove me crazy is trying to keep up with a user and while looking at their feed it is near impossible to see things they actually write themselves between all of the conversations (tweets leading with @mention) and retweets.

So I was bored the other night and created Sleek Tweet. With Sleek Tweet you can enter a twitter user’s username and it will filter out all of the tweets starting with @mentions as well as the retweets.

iCarHomepage

Robert — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 03:32:12 +0000

iCarHomepage was my first web-based business created back in August of 2007. It was created knowing you could customize your YouTube Channel, MySpace page, etc. yet you and millions of others were forced to stare at that plain white Google homepage.

With iCarHomepage you can customize your Google homepage to your favorite car make and then be greeted by a random, high-resolution background each time you launch your browser. Photos will resize to any screen size.

(Since then Google has adopted my feature, damn them).

Nurburgring Live Webcam

Robert — Sat, 09 Sep 2006 03:31:14 +0000

The Nürburgring is a motorsport complex around the village of Nürburg, Germany. It features a modern Grand Prix race track built in 1984, and a much longer old North loop track which was built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. A feature the track offers is access to a file updated every minute by a webcam facing on the track’s entrance.

For years, myself and others sat refreshing time and time again while still missing some of the finest automobiles pulling into the track. Therefore, I have created a simple page to refresh the image every 60 seconds with tab alert.

Profile Pane

Robert — Mon, 19 Dec 2005 04:17:15 +0000

After watching a few people create a Facebook profile picture that extended through their recently tagged images I just had to do so myself. So I cracked open Photoshop and created meticulous slices, guides, and more. Then I had to create an album on Facebook, upload all of the photos, reverse tag them, and then set the first one as my profile picture. Rewarding, but really a pain in the neck.

Time to create an application for everyone to do so. The app handles everything from letting you upload the photo, crop the photo (with a live profile preview), and then does everything on Facebook for you.

R8 PL8Z

Robert — Thu, 09 Sep 2004 02:53:43 +0000

R8 PL8Z (“Rate Plates”) is the #1 go-to place on the web for funny license plates and vanity plate ideas. With tens of thousands of daily viewers and tens of daily submissions it remains a successful website essentially running itself.

It was started in October of 2009 after realizing the countless license plate pictures through my iPhone. I was almost deterred because of several other websites out there doing it, but I climbed from page 7 of Google (ranking for “funny license plates“) to page 1, result 1 in three months!

October of 2010, R8 PL8Z was also picked up by People of Walmart.
