DISQUS

Daniel · 1 year ago

Thanks for the nudge. there are now RSS feeds for the social search to compliment the feeds for almost all of our other searches.

As far as the sharing feature, we wanted to keep it as sharing and not as review/discussion feature. I think those kind of comments belong on the site itself not a third-party service. We still encourage people to digg and stumble the things they like, Tthe sharing feature just makes it quick and easy to pass along a link to your followers and is a lead up to something much larger. stay tuned!

Is MyBlogLog really that great, is it really needed? I try it while I write this here. I could not find the trick?!

PS: I notice you DoFollow - nice. I also do on my blog!

this is good news. I had all but thought my feedburner stuff as being left in the dark ages of marketing.

Most of the feed subscribers are of Google feed fetcher, they have covered most of the feed part. I had no idea about the feed and all. This post gives a proper knowledge.

I want that many subscribers :( I don't have enough feedburner subscribers for that to make a difference... haha.

In my case I have modest feed subscriber totals but am very active on social media sites, especially Twitter & FriendFeed. So this morning's change was a significant bump up in my numbers.

It is a challenge to really capture how broad a reach a site really has. There are getting to be just too many vectors content can travel down between the publisher and the consumer. Though you'd think Facebook blog followers should be fairly easy for Google to capture in Feedburner.

I've yet to setup a feedburner account, but I think it might be a good choice for my brand of companies once we establish a stronger blogging presence on the web.

I'm glad to hear that Blogcatalog isn't trying to implement commenting from within their own site - there are already too many mediums that splinter conversations across the web. I'd love to see standardization in how we communicate, since the various RSS/feed aggregating sites are ways to mitigate the problem of having multiple sites that do virtually the exact same thing. Open source, portable solutions for all!

Blogcatalog have had a dashboard / livestreaming interface for 15 months or so

Feedblitz is a newer option for feed management and stats

I remember Shoemoney using a loophole like this to win his Chow RSS contest.

Thanks for stopping by, really appreciate the comment on mybloglog. I was reading your post, great info because a lot of people do not realize how powerful a blog really is and how far it can reach huge numbers of people that are really looking for your information. I look forward to networking with you in the future..

Thanks again..

I was actually into feedburner, even before google had bought it out. I was having so much trouble with getting the ads to show when pointing at my dns - though a few months after I submitted a ticket about it, the bug was finally fixed and all was well. This is a great application, and I suggest using it!

good to know the ins and outs of feed burner, i didn't realise that there were any discrepancies between the apps and real world timing etc... thanks for the info.

I still haven't been able to get the Friendfeed stats to display within feedburner

I've been a member of Blog Catalog for some time and really like the user activity tracking. However, I think it could stand some improvement because the discussion section stands apart from the blog activities of the members. Friendfeed is great (among others in its niche) but it would be nice to see a tighter integration between activitiy tracking, tweeting, blog catalog's discussion, and blogging.

I've been taking notes on some specs I'd like to see. Maybe one of these days I would have the time to get it developed into a prototype.

I really don't have enough subscribers to even have a use for feedburner, I use it only for the email updates, other than that I might look into the mybrand aspect which is free since google took over.

So that why in one day I saw 100 new emails at feedburner....
It's wrong thing to do!

great another way to get obsessed with status updates! No, but seriously this is a good way to expand your subscriber list. I have been using twitter along with some popup email request, but with little to no luck. Hopefully this will push me over to at least 200 new subscribers.

You did indeed totally thrash this topic. Thanks for letting me know Andy. So, are feedburner figure less indicative than a year ago (or more)?

Twitter and Facebook usage is per item while feed count has always been about whole feed use. If I break up my feed into 12 items and announce new items to another service as they reach the feed is the person that reads the item on the service reading my feed or just my headline?

How do we redefine reach?

AndyBeard · 6 months ago

There are all types of problems

I know for instance that if I switched to partial feeds, I would get more clicks from Google Reader, but I might send less traffic to other sites.

In many ways twitter followers can drive a lot more traffic to a site on popular content than probably still read my feed

Andy,

this is not directly related, but: do you still recommend using feedburner for people who start a new blog?
I have recently read people complaining about feedburner. I have a fresh block and am not sure if feedburner is the best option to handle my RSS?

Thanks!

AndyBeard · 5 months ago

You could take a look at Feedblitz, though I am still using Feedburner for now... I would love to have more options with far more control.
