DISQUS

You know, I just went through and cleaned out my followers from all the people who are just generating noise. I was trying to figure out a way to simplify the process of whether or not to follow and it looks like you did a great job here. I think I also need to start looking further back in people's tweets to see if they constantly post good info. I noticed that many people I follow have one or two good tweets and the rest are rediculous, but I follow them because I figure they might say more useful stuff...alas, this is not the case.

Gabriella,

Great post. I agree, especially about the robots. I hate the cold feeling of Twitter. Me, I am a warm guy, or at least I would like to think so. Interaction is a good thing and the people who Auto DM just tweak my last nerve.

As for the RT, that is a great point. You have to give a little, and there isn't anything wrong with expecting a little in return...that is, as long as you are returning the favor when the tables are turned. It makes for a very social atmosphere.

Nicely done!

I can't wait to see how how the loss is with the Maker's Diet. I have heard nothing but great reports on it. I have yet to pick up a copy and glance through it. Would you mind telling us, rather less informed folk, what exactly the Maker's Diet is and how it works?

Has it really been 2 weeks already? It seem like just yesterday you were announcing Zoe. I can't wait to see who the next blogger is, but to tell the truth, Zoe is going to remain in my reader. Her style is awesome, easy to understand, and was even a painful kick in the pants right when I needed it the most.

I can't wait to see who it is. The suspense is killing me.

I am glad you have everything fixed after the visit from Murphy. For some reason, my reader didn't have any problems. I don't know. Well, glad to have you back up and running, now let's get that reader count back up!

Chuck, my blog doesn't accept trackbacks, so I will just comment here like originally requested. I am interested and will post something on my site later today. This is going to be awesome, I can't wait to read all the new blogs!

You would think that would be the case here too. Well, I guess not if your government wasn't in so much financial turmoil. I'd sign the petition.

I nominate Writer Dad @ http://writerdad.com/ without hesitation. Writer Dad has a phenominal writing style, and while he is not necessiarly a writing blog, just take a look at the comments. You will see that more than half of the comments left are based on his writing style, either how he has pulled a reader into his world, or how he can instantly, with the stroke of a key, take you back to that hot summer day when you were sitting on the porch eating a creamsicle with your grandfather.

I usually, just like Nathan, have a little pocket notebook and a pen on hand (something I got into the habit of when I was in the military, you were in deep...err trouble, if you were ever caught without a pen handy). For instance, this morning when I was sitting in traffic on my way to work, I saw a billboard that I had nver really paid any attention to. Something sparked, and I began writing. By the time I got out of the traffic, I had a pretty descent outline for a post that will be coming out later this week.
