Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr I get asked a lot lately how I’m able to blog so much. If you look at the bottom of my right hand column you’ll see I’ve had this blog for ~2 1/2 years. You’ll also see that as of the first of this year, my posting went up [...]
It’s been very interesting to do these top 10 posts because it let’s me look at 3 different factors: Traffic: The posts are ranked based on traffic (unique hits) according to Google Analytics. Engagement: How many comments a blog receives is usually considered a level of engagement. Influence: The PostRank scores are meant to judge [...]
If you haven’t noticed, I like Posterous. I think they may have single handedly made email relevant for me again. Here’s my Posterous blog. I also like using tools in ways they weren’t meant to be used. That’s the case with this post. Please note that none of these apps were designed for mobile blogging [...]
An Ode to the Link. I love links. They’re like magic. Transporting you all across the Web with just a click. It’s why I love Twitter. Links, lots of links. Behind each shortened URL is a wealth of knowledge and information. I love Bit.ly for their innovative approach to making something as mundane as a [...]
It’s always interesting to note which posts get the most traction each month. My GTD Moleskine hack crushed evey other post by quite a bit. It was linked to by an obviously very passionate GTD/Moleskine community (if you’d like to know which one you can find it in the trackbacks at the end of the [...]
Image via CrunchBase Besides the fact that Freebasing and Balloons both have drug connotations Zemanta is partnering with social database company Freebase to launch a new addicting blog feature called Balloons. You know those annoying little mouse over preview scripts that pop-up on blog and let you look at the page before you click through [...]
Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr Things got a little noise around here this last month. The noise to signal ratio was definitely a little out of whack and for that I apologise. I don’t make money on this blog. With the exception of the occasional Amazon affiliate link that Zemanta adds in automatically for [...]
As I get ready to call it a day and I reflect back on all the content I created (I’m sure I’ll have several less subscribers tomorrow), I’m struck by the importance of workflow. People think that 2 or 3 blog posts is hard. It’s really not. I didn’t create that much new content that [...]
I’ve been using Posterous for a while. Mostly as an experiment to mashup Google Alerts with Zemanta and post via Gmail. As I’ve used it I’ve refined my process from just a pure Zemanta overlay on top of the Google Alerts to adding commentary and deleting non-interesting alerts. But as Posterous continues to expand what [...]
How I moved up 300 spots in AdAge’s Power 150 in 4 months First off I would like to say that I do not blog for fame or fortune. I don’t think having a high ranking blog is ever a means to an end. But gaining greater exposure to you content can help meet many [...]
