Re: 5 Lessons From 2 Years of Using Email Newsletters in our Content Strategy

Thanks for your insight, Guillaume. I would also be interested to know how the performance of Scoopiteers' case/success stories compared to curated content. Re: timing, because you have an international market, would it be worth using MailChimp's local timing tool to get a better sense of when people are actually opening? Maybe you've done this already.

I think this is a great example of how to analyze your own efforts with some common sense and organized tracking. Thanks!

Re: Reference of Dimensions for Facebook Timeline For Pages [Infographic]

I reference this post often, so I really appreciate you putting it together. One question: FB says tab or application widths should be 760. https://developers.facebook... Am I missing something in their info or misinterpreting the tab section of your infographic? Thanks!

I've seen some of these but many are new to me. Great collection. Thanks for putting it together. I wasn't familiar with the LSO logo, which is as you say, brilliant. And I had never learned what the hell the Sony stuff meant. Thanks!

Great post, Rebecca! I love twitter for these types of events because even though maybe your friends or family don't care, there's always someone out there who does.

I'll do it. I've been digging Path. Are you guys working with Path or something? Great idea for a movement either way.

I'd like to hear about how you started downsizing and what you got rid of, Rob. We're trying to do the same thing and I don't know where to start.

Since there are no comments, I'll go ahead and do it: Follow me. I'm http://www.twitter.com/deko... . I work for a creative agency in NH, and I'll probably make you laugh at some point. In all seriousness, this looks like a pretty good list. Thanks for sharing it.

I like this info. It would be cool if each tip had Like/social sharing buttons associated with it so we could vote up the best tips. FWIW, Tim Ware's avatar is the coolest.

Re: How to: Choose the Right Authors for Your Blog Team

Brian DeKoning — Fri, 06 May 2011 16:35:57 -0000

Hi Heather,Thanks for stressing that and sorry I overlooked that point. I have limited experience with long-term recurring authors and I completely agree with your take on it. Thanks again!

Re: How to: Choose the Right Authors for Your Blog Team

Brian DeKoning — Fri, 06 May 2011 10:37:38 -0000

Thanks for this post, Heather. Getting guest authors to write interesting blog posts can be a challenge but it's a great benefit to everyone involved when it works out. Your list of blogger attributes is right on and I would just add one more: Organized. Finding a guest poster who hits deadlines - or delivers at all : ) - is key.

Another tip to connect with your local community on Twitter is to use Twittergrader and search for the top users in your area.

Thanks for calling attention to this important aspect of blogging and sharing. I'm no expert, but if blog posts are not easy to share, you're missing a big benefit of blogging for business. One thing we've done on our blog, which focuses on regional small to medium business owners in New England, is to provide both the four main sharing links via a digg digg plugin: FB, Twttr, LinkedIn and StumbleUpon as well as the big sharing dropdown menu provided by onlywire. From the digg digg links, StumbleUpon has been huge for us, sending traffic from around the world to our blog. Check out the Stumble views vs. FB/Twtter/LinkedIn shares we had from our last post if you are interested
