I recently started asking my clients what are the main struggles when maintaining a blog. What really got my attention was the wide variety of answers I got when I was expecting a common response.
So I thought it would be interesting to ask you. Participate by voting in the poll and giving us your opinion in the comment section.
As usual, Google makes a big splash launching new products and also as usual, the hype dies pretty quick.
I don’t question that Google Wave or Google Buzz might be great products but I don’t agree with the whole “it will change the way you use the internet” parade created around it. The truth is that today, people are still talking about Twitter.
How about you? How do you use it? if you do… vote in our poll and let’s find out what we think of Buzz and feel free to give us your comments too
There have been discussions on whether or not Twitter is affecting blog commenting and even if it’s killing blogging in general. This time we wanted to see how blog subscriptions, both RSS and Email, are being affected.
Instead of researching and relying on existing data, I wanted to ask people, not from the blogger’s point of view but the people that consumes them. We started conversations on Twitter, our Facebook Fan Page and I published a post last week with the question: How Do You Follow The Blogs You Love? And the intention of this post is to discuss those responses.
I should make very clear that the results are a very small sample of less than 200 people and by no means we are suggesting this is a formal study. Just a conversation.
There is a community building around your blog, people signing up via RSS or email, some of them following you on Twitter or even joining your Facebook fan page.
But what is your main focus? Do you have a clear strategy of how you want to lead that community and help it grow.
