Feedburner FeedFlare add-ons

Check out the Lifekludger feed and see what you think. Look for the links at the bottom of each post. From the Feedburner blog: FeedFlare is initiallyContinueContinue reading “Feedburner FeedFlare add-ons”
Redistribution of power
Over on bokardo blog, Joshua Porter quotes Doc Searls about the disruptive nature of blogs: One of the main points we made in The Cluetrain Manifesto, way back in 1999, was that the real revolution with the Net was not an increase in the power of supply, but an increase in the power of demand.ContinueContinue reading “Redistribution of power”

Is sticky icky?
Doc Searles writes on Friday, December 9, 2005 …… There’s an ‘icky’ in ‘sticky’. Just a thought. …… He doesn’t eloborate on icky comment. But I sense a derogatory meaning. Perhaps he’s referring to ‘sticky’ having the connotation of being stuck, therefore not moving or ‘distributed’. Who knows. I wish he’d elaborate.
Secret Postcards
I love this idea. I’d love to have a creative idea like this. This guy ran a project that asked for people to submit a postcard with a secret on it. The result was overwhelming and brilliant and resulted in the publication of a book called PostSecret : Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary LivesYou are invitedContinueContinue reading “Secret Postcards”
Evil Genius Chronicles » The Listeners Count
Okay. I’ve been sitting on this quote from Dave Slusher for two weeks. I even had related links in delicious that I had intended to go through and try figure out what it was I wanted to say about this. But I’m tired of waiting. So I’m just gonna say it. Is the ‘new system’ContinueContinue reading “Evil Genius Chronicles » The Listeners Count”

Note to skimmers…..if you can’t be bothered reading it all, skip and read the end….that’s where the point is. 24th… Cam has started a discussion all by asking if he should move his blog.

Empowering the LongTail
Very important announcement this one methinks I saw over at Read/Write Web. Especially this bit: “….In fact, Yahoo wants to go broader and deeper, eventually working with smaller blogs “empowering people who don’t buy ink by the barrel.” Great for the LongTail.
I’m hung up on the concept of context
Further to my previous post titled Attention, Recognition & Context, I read Scoble talking about what term to call someone who generates content, Scoble muses thus: The problem is we don’t have good language. When I’m on Flickr I’m a photographer or a commenter. When I’m here I’m a writer or a blogger. When I’mContinueContinue reading “I’m hung up on the concept of context”
Attention, Recognition & Context
What can attention do for recognition? To be recognised requires attention – def: # Attention or favorable notice: She received recognition for her many achievements. The amount of recognition can be tracked and measured by attention. Attention is being measured so recognition can be. The key is context. In what context is the object givenContinueContinue reading “Attention, Recognition & Context”
A blog is like a garden
A wise man once told me a blog is like a garden. It needs to be regularly attended to and maintained to grow. These Egglings reminded me of that. via – romp
Screenagers

It’s all about the people!
My friend Mike’s been to Melbourne and made good connections. In a post titled CONNECTING to people behind the BLOGs he says: This was my first experience of meeting people I’ve been ‘reading’ (connected to via RSS). It was really quite empowering! I think I understand why people do, and write about ‘geek dinners’ andContinueContinue reading “It’s all about the people!”
