lmao, shoe shopping digging is just as good I think. It's definitely better than crack.

I hear you though and glad I'm not alone in these sentiments.Good luck reconnecting with your blogging groove and keep me posted!

Completely understandable. Thanks for your response James!

Great response Kaitrece! Why would you like to see Rush Card competing here? There are some smaller companies popping up that PayPal noted at the conference. I'm thinking PayPal will be the equivalent of Visa in these parts.

Do you think your customers would feel comfortable doing the same? Have you ever encountered PayPal's customer service? Another commenter noted that their customer service sucks. I'm curious to know how you would respond if something goes wrong with a mobile payment.

I just recently used one of those lanes myself. I prefer them too. I think they're a lot better than standing in line. Thanks for your comments Kaitrece (pretty name!)

I find Diigo and Delicious to be the creme of the crop when it comes to social bookmarking sites. And I would hope you're using a blogging platform such as wordpress, or social commenting platform like Disqus to track ALL of your trackbacks ;)

Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the nonprofit you work for will continue to impact your Twitter experience negatively. Your best bet would be to reach out to Twitter directly for help.

I use a mixture of both. Having an all-purpose sharing widget at the bottom of the post helps to engage your readers from communities that you may not be very active in. I use the Tweetmeme plugin because it focuses on social community I am most active in. So a mixture of plugins that cater to where you're really active, and where your readers might be active can help.

I agree, it can get overwhelming which is why I use Tweetmeme at the top and an all-in-one towards the comments.

Oh, so THAT'S why most drug dealers live at home... seriously, fair point. It just strikes me that while what you're is pretty benign, even altruistic, I see metaphors twisted all the time for greed and fear-mongering.

My brain's not bigger, it's just that my avatar is blessed with the digital equivalent of Rudolph's shiny red nose.

No question that the advice was written with a different, more limited tool set in mind. At the same time, I still think a lot of it works.

The two dangers that I see with your take on #3 are:

1. If you fail to take the next step, you may be writing from ignorance. A little education never hurts.
2. If you write your own take on the topic first, you might just conclude that you've got it right and so you won't be motivated look elsewhere.

Patricia, I did note a disclaimer at the bottom, which reads: "Disclaimer: Compete statistics are known to be imperfect, but they are always interesting." Alexa is bad, too, and they don't even provide enough content at this point to make similar charts or comparisons. So we make do with what is available for now.

many people definitely don't know how to integrate these new technologies into their lives in reasonable ways, i'm one of them. i go way overboard (checking twitter every 5 minutes, for example).
