I officially switched the RSS Feed over to the new BloggerPro version of it, since it came out of Beta and into production. Now if you click the little “XML” image on the right side, you’ll go to that feed instead of the old one. The old one will continue to work for now, but don’t expect it to work for more than a day or two. This is your final warning to make the switch in your aggregator! Let me know if there are problems with it!

I can tell you from experience that even in my office it took years to get people to understand why you need to immediately terminate network access when some leaves the organization. Even now, when I’ve finally gotten people used to the idea that they need to let me know when someone is leaving, there…
I’ve searched the blogs, and the forums and don’t see where anyone else is having this issue, but over the last few days I’ve saved a number of links to Delicious, but they don’t show up in my list of bookmarks, nor are they included in the RSS feed of recent bookmarks. (Thus they don’t…
I’ve been meaning to write about my time in Cleveland the past couple of days, but I just never seemed to find the time. On Thursday, had a great time spending the evening at the In The Trenches Cleveland Geek Dinner. It was late, very late, by the time I turned in for the night….
I’ve got a ton of work to do today, between a new employee, a new machine and today being the first working day of March, meaning month-end reporting, I’m sure I’ll be tied up most of the day with work. So if you don’t hear from me later, that’s why! Before I go though, since…
Tim leaves out of his analysis accounting for how many users will no longer be there and how that much smaller user base impacts the value proposition. If I’m a journalist using Twitter to interact with readers and attract new readers to my publication, the ROI of paying for a fully-featured Twitter account includes considering how many people it helps me reach. Is it still worth it when my 250,000 followers get cut to 25,000? What about 2,500? What about less?
Before you dismiss that as unlikely, I’d like you to remember that recent Pew research found that “the top 25% of users by tweet volume produce 97% of all tweets, while the bottom 75% of users produce just 3%, according to an analysis conducted over a three-month period in 2021.”
I’m going to just assume that the 75% group who isn’t tweeting very often is not going to pay for Twitter. Of the other 25% we have to consider how many of them will fall into the $12 per year plan because they already don’t follow many people but use Twitter to interact with people who want to follow them. The question is, will those followers still exist? And if they don’t exist, is Twitter still a global conversation? Or is it just another place for privileged people who pay for membership to talk to each other?
Yes, it amazes me that I can tell people over and over again that when they bring in new staff I need to know in advance because setting up network logons, permissions, and working with our ISP to get their email account setup takes time, yet I still manage to learn about new staff by…
