My best guess is a whole 0 of them actively read my feed. This is because Friendfeed functions as a mostly automated internet feed. I will kick this post off with a confession: I have scheduled the odd tweet or two. Usually when something is so important I want to tweet it once, twice or three times to drive some serious traffic. Or sometimes there is something I really want to share but have just barraged my stream with 10 tweets.

How to Build & Sell Through a Community Part 2: Why? love traffic spikes, they are exciting. At the time I was excited about getting to number 1 on google while being bookmarked and tweeted.

How to Build & Sell Through a Community Part 2: Why? Facebook have launched a new suite of Social Plugins. The changes are huge and I won’t go into them here, you can check that out on their developers website. The new ‘like’ button is great for bloggers. This will save you generating a new like button for each post you make! hope this helps. | ALEX BLOM JULY 24, 2009 Don't forget the others Sadly neglecting this world means weeds (spam, emails, rss feeds) get out of control so I’m sorting through as fast as I can. First of all, apologies for my lack of absence over the past 3-4 weeks through all online mediums. was quite sick and didn’t have the energy to contribute. As my friend @phycodes said when I made my first tweet in weeks ‘I was glad when I saw it. thought you were dead’. If I haven’t responded to your contact it will happen, just give me a little time. Being off the internet for so long gave me some fantastic perspective though. | ALEX BLOM FEBRUARY 8, 2009 it runs in the family: facebook is just like big brother microsoft Power allowed people to view snippets of Facebook feeds on the Power website.
