Blogging Benefits from Guy Kawasaki

AlexH — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 02:52:18 +0000

Guy Kawasaki posted some stats on his 1 month blogging anniversary. There are some interesting site stats and some potentially dangerous points since he posted his AdSense earnings which is apparently a no-no. But these two points stick out the most for me:

8. Traffic to my web site, www.guykawasaki.com, increased from about 400 page views/day to 800-1,200 page views/day.

9. My Amazon sales rank for The Art of the Start (go ahead, I dare you to click on this link) hovered between #1,500 and #2,000 prior to the start of my blog. Currently, the sales rank hovers between #500 and #750.

Another interesting tidbit is that he uses SnipURL to track how many people click on the links. I always thought that these services were only good for getting past mail readers breaking up lines, but I may have to start thinking about how else they can be used.

Full text feeds in Thunderbird

I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 1.5 and it looks like other people are in the same situation in regards to the full text feeds. The data is hidden in the content:encoded section.

Some thoughts about Scoble – wakeless.net

His feed has changed and it doesn’t appear to be a fulltext feed in Thunderbird I’ve looked at the feed and I know the data is there, but I can’t see it. I wonder how many other people this is happening to.

Performancing For Firefox

I’ve just installed the Performancing for Firefox plugin, and it is great! It’s not as polished as Flock, but the editor is quite nice, and the setup was easy. Hopefully we’ll see more features coming soon, like Drag and Drop quoting, and automatic Technorati tags.

Technorati tags: firefox, flock, performancing

Private Del.icio.us Bookmarks

Very cool, I didn’t know del.icio.us had private bookmarks! Alex Bosworth has a script that generates a ‘bookmarklet’ that you can use to create bookmarks that only you can see.

A while back I made a bookmarklet for del.icio.us that lets you save bookmarks for yourself that no one else can see are in your bookmarks.

Unfortunately in the move to the new and improved servers that now host LiveMarks, I forgot about the bookmarklet and this week it hasn’t been working.

If you are using the del.icio.us bookmarklet, I’m sorry but you’ll have to generate a new bookmarklet on this page, so you can continue posting bookmarks for yourself.

I hope this gets integrated into flock soon, because I have some bookmarks that I’m not using yet in flock because I can’t let the general public see them yet!

Now that I’ve started my company for web hosting, blogging, and custom database apps, I’ve decided to move my blogging about web technology here, and put my personal blogging at AlexHarford.com.

Expect more posts to happen next weekend when I have some time for some serious web hacking.
