PiXELWiT

It’s a rare occasion, but every now and then I actually pay attention to what’s happening on this blog. It was during one of these moments of heightened awareness that I noticed a recent trackback from a young whippersnapper (he ~claims~ to only be 16) linking to my Text Link Ads Needs Improvement article. With my curiosity piqued, I decided to visit his site and see what Mr. William Montanaro had to say about TLA.

I must admit I was quite impressed with what I saw. William appears to be very intelligent and extremely focused for a teenager. When I was sixteen I was interested in 4 things: girls, girls, girls, and cars (but mostly the first 3). Mr. Montanaro, on the other hand, is focusing his attention on writing and he’s well on his way to becoming a successful li’l web entrepreneur. But before I go too far extolling the many virtues of William’s site (clear concise writing, etc.), as a matter of full disclosure I feel it’s important to note that my opinion was in no way influenced by the very first paragraph of his blog post which states…

“Before you read this post, it might help if you peruse (skim) this post by Pixelwit (one of the most incredible flash developers I have ever seen by the way).”

Sure, he’s young, and maybe he’s never seen…

• Manny Tan
• Erik Natzke
• James Paterson
• Yugop
• Leogeo
• Flight 404
• Jared Tarbell
• Senocular
• Or any number of more talented Flash developers.

… but I like to think that a kid who is as “on the ball” as William surely knows what he’s talking about.

Thanks William. I’ll be checking your site every now and then for blog monetization tips so don’t you dare edit that “most incredible Flash developer” comment out. 😉
