The lesson from Twitter is that microblogs aren’t Content Management Systems at all, but are instead Messaging systems, and have to be […]
The day after Canada Day and we have a new, and potentially exciting, microblogging service to play around with. Identi.ca might seem like “just another Twitter clone”, but I think they are really onto something here.
Corvida, Sarah Perez, and Marshall Kirkpatrick all have it right on target. Sure, it’s early days and Identi.ca doesn’t have […]
Ah Twitter. The blogerati are raising their glasses to you in homage of your passing. FriendFeed is standing in the corner being polite, warm, and charming. At the bar, people are shaking their heads, talking about going to FriendFeed’s place after the wake…

I admit it, I’m a data junkie. I will pour over the stats for my blogs for, well, let’s say I can do it for a long time. Oh and not just one source of data either. Oh that would be just too easy, too simple. No, I have redundant webstats tools. It seems like […]
