When Scripting News started, it was a linkblog. When I wrote an essay it would be on the DaveNet site, and I'd point to it from the linkblog, along with links to all the other things I linked to. Then I figured out how to have the essays appear on Scripting News along with the links. I kept getting bug reports from people with feed readers that didn't like my links, so finally I gave up on the linkblog part. A few weeks after that, Twitter pops up. So I posted all my links on Twitter. Gradually I built up editorial tools for my linkblogging, casually at first, but lately, very seriously.
My stats are already showing improved circulation. Good! There's life after Twitter. Happy. |
