Re: New CNN show pushes the limits of Twitter — literally

I saw him using Twitter on his show over the weekend. It's a great way for an anchor to interact with viewers. Hopefully, Twitter will solve the follower issue and stay fast enough so he can continue using it on CNN.

Just use ping.fm and update both Twitter and identi.ca and monitor both sites for responses. You should also take a look at Plurk.com and Kwippy.com.

Re: louisgray.com: The Importance Of Blog Linking Seems to Be Declining

I'll add another comment. Links from other blogs has never ever been the main source of a blog's traffic. Louis Gray probably got most of his traffic from other blogs initially as he was just getting started and now his traffic looks more like that of a typical blog where most traffic comes from search engines, social media, bookmarks and feeds. So to really know if bloggers are linking less we need another measurement other than traffic.

That said links from other blogs are obviously very important because they can boost search rankings and because if other bloggers notice you they are more likely to link to you, etc.

Bloggers are still checking inbound links and referrals from other blogs. Look a little farther down your list of referring sites and technorati (although not as useful as it once was) is probably there somewhere. :-)

Re: FriendFeed kill Twitter? Not going to happen

As usual Mathew makes some great points in his post. I think FriendFeed has some unique qualities but it is also endanger of being something people use primarily when Twitter is down. If Twitter totally drops the ball then maybe FriendFeed or another service will benefit but so far Twitter has managed to stay alive enough to continue growing. The biggest Twitter rival is probably Jaiku - if Google ever lets it compete.
