We have a theory about swapped hot buttons on websites –
where two sites agree to swap clickable “buttons,”
so that we have your site on our pages, and you have ours
on yours: they get lost in the clutter of a site and don’t
necessarily generate that much traffic.
Our site, for example, has thousands of pages; where do we
put “hot buttons” to indicate our praise, fondness,
or relationship, with another site?
Instead of lumping a whole bunch of hot buttons together on
an unheralded page, we thought it would show editorial integrity
on our part to have a short bio about each site we admire,
or about the personalities behind the sites that we admire
and suggest you visit.
So here goes… check back often because we will be expanding
and changing this list over time.

Amy Reiley is a 2000-volt, 20-something, passionate food and
wine stick-figure-thin foodie and I am still trying to figure
out – where ever does she pack all that food and wine
that she discovers as she roams the world? She must burn it
off with the intense energy she brings to her chosen path
– to find and celebrate the best of life. Kind of what
we do at ilovenapa.com on a much smaller scale (we celebrate
the Best of our little valley – hopefully with the same,
burning intensity.)
Head for Amy’s site, sign up for her monthly e-newsletter,
check out her recipes, food discoveries and beverage preferences

Michael Tchong is a 30-something, energetic (make that over-energetic)
observer of Trends with a capital T.
What do the Canon G3 Digicam, Agent Provacateur lingerie
and Poko Pano bikinis from Brazil have in common? They’re
all on Michael’s Trendsetters of the Year list for being
tops in their respective field.
I love receiving Michael’s weekly emails, which bring
into my life fringe products, or edgy trends, that the Indonesian-born
trend-watcher has found around the world. Lots of fun.
Based in San Francisco, Michael is an Internet entrepreneur;
he has launched five start-ups, including MacWEEK
(acquired by Ziff-Davis), CyberAtlas (acquired by Mecklermedia),
and Jupitermedia. He has held media positions at Chiat/Day,
Doyle Dane & Bernbach and McCann-Erickson. ‘Nuf
