In the first one the best information is in the comments - which are way longer than the original article! So be sure to read all the way down. Cheers, Martin. Hi Corrie,

I’ve written a couple of pieces on using Twitter to help build up visitors to a blog – you can find them here and here.

In the first one the best information is in the comments – which are way longer than the original article! So be sure to read all the way down.

Cheers,

That's <i>truly</i> an honour! (He's also in my top 10 list, along with Darren Rowse, Men With Pens and CopyBlogger, plus a few other unmentionables :) ). And yes - I also follow blogs via RSS (in Google Reader), but I still think people who don't work online don't use RSS very much. It's really only us web-heads who use it as it was originally intended. Cheers, Martin. Pam, hi,

Yours, Seth Godin and Jamie Varon are in my top ten, must reads and I have the reader as one of my default tabs on Firefox. I am glad to have everything in one place. Thanks for your always interesting topics. Pam Hi Martin,

I use it differently now from the way I originally intended, and I don't ever see this blog having thousands of RSS subscribers as a result. But that's fine, because people are seeing it via other channels. :) Cheers, Martin. Angie, hi,

In my case, even after attempting to explain RSS, I've found that many of my readers prefer keeping up with my Blogs via email. And yet this is changing gradually - and depends on the Blog itself. Some people don't "get" RSS, the way some people still don't "get" Twitter - but it's fun to watch someone finally get that "light-bulb" moment. Maybe it's an "age" thing? Maybe the 50+ crowd has a bit of catching up to do? But still, RSS IS everywhere. Just because the majority of folks aren't using it the way we (bloggers) imagined they would - doesn't mean that RSS is not alive and well! .-= Angiel´s last blog ..<a href="http://mystudiologic.com/2009/12/16/essential-small-business-start-up-kit-for-2010/" rel="nofollow">Essential Small Business Start-Up Kit For 2010</a> =-.
