More than 125,000 people signed this online petition at Change.Org and lists of alternatives to Google Reader started popping up like this one from Lifehacker and list.ly. I’ve been using Feedly since 2008, when Kevin Gamble from the Extension community mentioned it during an online workshop that I facilitated.

Part III: Blogs, Podcasting and Vlogs September 27, 2006 When I start out these series, I seem to have an idea in hand about how to organize them, which, invariably, gets rearranged in the course of writing. So, here’s the post about Blogs, and their follow ons: podcasting and vlogging. Blogging is old hat. Such is life.

One of the things I've been wanting to do for a while is review my blog content for the year and select the "Top 10" posts or the "best of" posts. Once a year in June, I do an overall benchmarking and ROI analysis of my blog using particular metrics. You can actually go back and review your entire feed.

After months of unresponsiveness and no progress, they realized they’d placed their trust in the wrong people. The food crisis was severe even before the COVID-19 pandemic, with millions of people living in households without sufficient resources to ensure consistent access to food for active and healthy lives.

August 5, 2008 I have been thinking for the last few days about what it means to “keep up&# with the technology field, particularly ‘net technology. I’ve been helping a client hire a temporary project manager, and so in the interview process one of the questions I ask is how people keep up with change in the field.

I have many years of blog content. It is hard for me to find posts because I have too many categories (over 200) and an idiosyncratic way of organizing them. No wonder I get emails and DM's from folks telling me they can't find a particular blog post. That's a river of blog resources, why add to it? Communication.

I want to more directly work with people and organizations, primarily focused around faith and spirituality. I want to see people’s real faces, and hear their real voices.

For organizations, web stats are useful indicators of how many people are being reached by their message, the geographical spread of the visitors and whether or not a specific campaign was successful in driving traffic or creating actions (like donations, or letters, etc.) For one thing, feeding people is not what NTEN does.

For blogging, you have to use a couple of different tools to get the different metrics you need. On a listserv the other day, Laura Quinn at Idealware asked if "Visit" or "Click" data on Feedburner were useful metrics to track to assess reader interest in your blog content. Visitors are people who visit your blog.

Joey Chestnut won the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest in 2008. It’s the same sort of discomfort that some people feel about approaching the task of listening for learning using the social web. It is harder to convince people who aren’t already social media users to use it in their personal lives.

What this means is that you can do more embedding YouTube into your site, allowing people to upload video to your YouTube channel from your site and having people leave comments on your site that will end up in your YouTube comments. When people embed those we reserve rights to serve ads in the future. YouTube is now a platform.
