My theories so far are that twitter makes it all the easier to publish updates, it's tied to individuals, and it's easy for people to understand lists of individuals that publish easily. I tell people all the time "just open that OPML file in a text editor and look at it - it's super simple!" but I think Twitter and its lists made it over the UX hump in a unique way.  Still trying to figure it out though.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Marshall Kirkpatrick</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:33:55 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The PostRank Team has grown again!</title><link>http://aiderss.disqus.com/the_postrank_team_has_grown_again/#comment-21281110</link><description>Congrats on the growth team PostRank.

I'm not actually seeing much in the way of affiliate links there.  I mean, her profile page looks like a train wreck to me - but so does most of cable TV and lots of people like that.  Maybe I haven't looked close enough though and she really is a robotic spam bot and not just a vapid spam bot.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Marshall Kirkpatrick</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2009 18:22:49 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Mark this day (Scripting News)</title><link>http://scripting.disqus.com/mark_this_day_scripting_news/#comment-9251061</link><description>Congrats on ten years Dave.

Going from nothing to something and then calling it a 3000% increase doesn't mean much, though.  1 million uniques in a month would be a dream come true for a typical startup, but Mixx isn't a typical startup. They are placed prominently in these very high media properties.  Put that next to the traffic and one would conclude that "Most readers of mainstream media sources probably don’t know what Digg, del.icio.us or Mixx is and what their purpose is."  That sounds like an implementation problem to me.  I'm sure that they worked hard trying to figure out how to convert that placement into clicks and it hasn't really worked very well - for whatever reason.  That's what I'm saying.  I'm going to stop saying it though because I feel like I'm being a jerk.  I stand behind my post though and think that early numbers on the clickthroughs point to problems in implementation.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Marshall Kirkpatrick</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 22:44:10 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is Google Reader Distorting My Knowledge?</title><link>http://socialtimes.disqus.com/is_google_reader_distorting_my_knowledge/#comment-5160825</link><description>It's both I'm sure.

That part isn't relevant to any of my consulting clients.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There's nothing about RSS here.  I'd add also: the ability to explain relatively technical things to nontechnical people, how to be patient with people, how to communicate their excitement about potential applications in an effective way.  Some pros and cons about various options for tools to accomplish the same goals with.  How to find answers to questions quickly (I, for example, regularly use Twitter and Google Custom Search Engines for this).  Finally, how to work some magic that makes me say - wow, I didn't know that the web could do that!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Fun post as usual Chris, I look forward to seeing what kinds of responses you get.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Marshall Kirkpatrick</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:29:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Secrets of the Annotated World</title><link>http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/secrets_of_the_annotated_world/#comment-8527767</link><description>Note that posting to Flickr from your phone (by MMS) is *way easier* than you might think if unfamiliar!

This post just comes across as defensive, and the "you're doing it wrong" post is pretty unconvincing.  I think there's only a few ways we can deal with this.  You're going to have to buy me a beer in Austin, right after I buy you one.  And you're going to have to keep being a marketer who blogs about changes in the marketing field while I'll be a blogger who aims to be a journalist and gets my rent paid by the advertising department, as journalists always have, but with that line getting admittedly more complicated all the time.  I don't know why you're getting so defensive about this, though, I think I was quite fair to you and this is a situation you've dealt with some time ago.  Like I said, I imagine you went along with the KMart thing because you're a marketer who's interested in experimenting with new stuff.  And like I said, I don't think there are many blogs outside of marketing blogs like yours where that would make sense for KMart.    Simple truth is, I don't like it - and I feel more or less comfortable with the different line we've drawn as a media publication.  Anyway, I'll take an IPA - what are you having?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Marshall Kirkpatrick</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:59:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Lessons from Gnomedex: Too Geeky is a Good Thing</title><link>http://newcommbiz.disqus.com/lessons_from_gnomedex_too_geeky_is_a_good_thing/#comment-15332479</link><description>Nice meeting you too Tac!

It's definitely not quick.  But RSS feeds are were a lot of things get announced, then some of the important things that got blogged about get picked up by bloggers and some of them go straight to Twitter.  A gurantee a bunch of the things you're finding on Twitter get blogged about first, and that's how people find them to twitter about them.  I "broke" (to a general audience) the news tonight about what I believe is the first iPhone Augmented Reality app in the app store.  Where did I find out about that?  On a tumblr blog via Lazyfeed.  I do find a lot of news on Twitter, but I find a lot of it on RSS and I do a lot of monitoring of RSS feeds as well.  I don't think that's just for news junkies, either.  I think people in just about any occupation could benefit from a good dashboard at least, fueled by RSS feeds.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Marshall Kirkpatrick</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:36:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: RSS: interesting or boring?
