Your last link to FeedWeaver links to the wrong site. Just thought I'd let you know.

I do agree with you about GoDaddy. And I guess, I'm happy I don't need to look for another hosting provider right now.

Re: Social|Median was not a good experience

I found the concept incredibly useful. Perhaps when they get it all worked out, I can reactivate my account. I'm just reporting my relatively poor first impression.

I actually like it a little better than Friendfeed, because you have to actually choose something to clip rather than send the mass of your lifestream in one end and out the other. I don't know. SocialMedian just works for me, but I process a lot of data each day.

I have heard good and bad about GoDaddy. But I have had luck with them. Or let's just say, they don't bother me, I don't bother them, and nothing has broken yet. It is a pain trying to find the right hosting provider. I deal with three right now now. All decent. I have had some bad ones in the past though.

Re: Whom Should You Remove From Your StumbleUpon Friends?

stephanmiller — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:33:33 -0000

That figures. I have a lifetime sponsor status from being there before eBay, before nofollow, before tags when the community itself was still building the software. It was easy to be a top stumbler then and a few of us got the golden ticket. I am glad they took that off.

I guess my advise and the article are already outdated:

I updated the post. Still think it is good idea to clean up your list even
if you are able to add more than 200 friends.

Thanks for stopping by Stephan!

Actually, I just hit my limit today. Some of my friends have been on there five years. So it looks like I will be doing the same soon. That's a low limit. I thought being a sponsor got you past that. Guess not.

Re: The Obscured Art of Personal Blogging

stephanmiller — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 07:10:22 -0000

I write about Making Money Online and everything that entails but I think for the most part, I am a personal blogger. I have niche blogs, but the blog with my name on it no longer has ads. It was a move to make it more personal. I figure this is the reason I went to blogging. I could have made money hiding behind the scenes, but I like writing. I stopped writing so much, because it was not paying the bills and was going nowhere. With a blog, my writing is doing something, at least, and I have an old friend back.

Re: louisgray.com: The Talk About Rules for Social Following Is Getting Out of Hand

Stephan Miller — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:34:04 -0000

I usually filter all friend request emails from all my networks into one folder and then check has followed me to see if they are worth following back. I have run into some great bloggers who has worthless tweets and vice versa. I know I never follow just because someone else followed me and I don't expect the same.

Re: The private messaging divide.

colinwalker — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:32:26 -0000

I agree that services shouldn't try to be all things to all people but, by the same token, I think there is a convincing argument for some form of basic functionality to avoid the need to go elsewhere.

I think services like gnip and ping.fm are going to make a lot of sites not necessarily need other features because they will eventually make all sites with API pluggable. I for one recognize right away when a site is adding new features that other sites already do better to keep people there. One too many and the complexity gets to be too much. I like Twitter because it is simple and Friendfeed because of comments. I don't go to Amazon when I want to buy something at an auction. I go to Ebay. And I never go to a brick and mortar Walmart because in an effort to shove everything in, they eventually can't and must appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Re: louisgray.com: Continuous Parallel Attention: My New Reality

Stephan Miller — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:28:39 -0000

This is about the same way I handle things and people ask me how I can get so much done in a day. I am glad you renamed it. Because by productivity guru's, it's known as multitasking and they give it a bad name. So I have tried to fight this lately. "I must learn to single task". But my productivity has dropped as a result. So back to Continuous Parallel Attention with Twitter scrolling in the sidebar, Snackr scrolling feeds below while I check Friendfeed. It is amazing what you can pick up in this way. Snackr has actually increased my commenting by being random. And I get a lot more worthwhile reading done. I do shut it all off to write posts at times, but rarely since for most of my posts I need reference material at hand.
