Jangro.com Spin-off, AffBook.com

I've been wrestling with this issue for a few years now, but I think it's finally time to split off the affiliate marketing talk from Jangro.com to a new blog. I was having lunch with a friend who's in the online world like myself and when I brought this up, he said (paraphrasing), "Why? What's in it for you? Won't this just take up your...

The other day, I thanked Jason Calacanis for hitting the Affiliate Summit attendees, and therefore the affiliate marketing community, in the face with a big fish of a keynote address.
