BeagleDreams: Communication by Referrer.  There was almost no traffic at this website until recently. The lack of content on this site probably had something to do with this.
  2:51:29 PM    

A Frog in the Valley: Je pense à retirer la fonction de commentaires, qu'en pensez-vous?  Agreed.  I've just turned off comments too.  No effective way to subscribe is the key reason.

But there also is something more subtle.  Sam Gentile apparently appreciated the neurotransmitter essay.  Who saw that comment?  Perhaps some people who were already predisposed to read the essay.  Then he posted essentially the same content to his weblog.  Who sees that post?  Those that chose to visit his site.  Possibly a quite different audience.

One can imagine all sorts of ven diagrams for these two communities.  Sam Gentile could be the sole occupant of both, or one community could be a vast superset of the other.  I mention you and you might get some traffic.  Dave mentions the shifted librarian and she gets considerably more. Get mentioned on slashdot and you apparently get a lot of traffic, mostly by people who don't visit other areas of your site.

As Jon said before comments were introduced to Radio, "But now I'm wondering whether this "bug" in Radio is really a feature."  Jon relates his observations to the speed of propagation.  But perhaps there is more to it than that.  There appears to be an implicit and self-correcting almost K5 style moderation quality about weblogs.

Changing one's weblog titles and descriptions not only breaks the connection here, it looks like the changes don't propagate here.

Rogers Cadenhead: The best online programming documentation I have ever seen is published by the PHP developers at PHP.Net.
  9:39:24 AM    

Didn't take Simon long to notice my new tagline.  Rationalle:
  • It's a mildly self deprecating reference to the content of the blog itself.
  • It captures the spirit of the doc literal approach.
  • It 's clearly is a take off on your tagline.

I haven't decided whether or not I am going to rotate taglines periodically.

One thing I did notice is that the RSS rankings are keyed by name.

I really wish Mike and Keith had given more advanced notice.
  8:28:31 AM    

Pappy: To map out ideas clearly take a look at Concept Maps.
  7:26:52 AM    

Eric Freeman: www.go.com is almost fully driven by XML RSS in a cloud that is harvest by a set of JavaBean caches from which pages are built
  7:25:08 AM    

Ernie: Do more Rights mean less Freedom?
  7:23:08 AM
