by Cory O'Brien

Sure you’ve posted a story that got Dugg a time or two and you’ve got a few friends following you on Twitter, but have you really done all that there is to do on the Internet?

Probably not, which is why Webware’s Web Achievements 101: Things To Do Before You Die is a great source of inspiration.

The bucket list includes skill, repetition and egosphere cred categories, and with goals like Get on Flickr’s interesting picture wall, Acquire Elite status on Yelp.com, and Get publicly slammed by Dave Winer, you’ll be busy for quite some time.

Think you’re ready for the challenge?

Then head on over to Webware and scope things out, because you’re going to need a plan if you plan on conquering some of these momentous achievements.

…Mileage Running isn’t easy?

by Cory O'Brien

Airport Pan

Have you ever heard of mileage running?

The goal is to fly for the sake of flying so that you can earn enough airline miles to receive perks from the frequent flier program.

To do mileage running, you only need two things: a lot of time, and cheap tickets (one to two cents per mile cheap).

Then, you simply rack up the miles, going through the ticket and routing calculations, through elite status, upgrades, irregular operations, weather delays, working the system, bumping and marathon flying; all for the sake of a few extra miles.

Ready to work the system?

Then check out Gadling’s Guide to Mileage Running, and learn from the best.
