Shout and share out loud
I guess when you write a blog, you write for yourself first and foremost since it’s a nice and easy format to remember “stuff” you run across in your life at the computer. And, you also write hoping that others will find that information useful (they have to have a Mac, it’s a lifestyle too). So, I started modestly promoting this blog by replicating it in a sort of executive summary on Tumblr and posting a link on my Facebook account and spreading it on Technorati.
There is so much more to do to do it properly. I will have to list the url in the major search engines so “bot” and “spiders” eventually tickle its content. I will have to refer to it in web properties I control, or enter in a referral partnership with others. And finally, I will use the url as an add-on in my forum signatures or in emails I sent. I have to be careful though because I want pertinent visitors interested in the content. Wouldn’t want a gamer to get here as gaming on the Mac is so bad.
I guess these steps are also important to document, so I’ll keep you posted on what I do in this sort of “out of line” category for the blog on working on a Mac.
EDIT: I completely forgot about Jaiku from Finland. A nice and simple way of keeping in touch. Your messages *have* to be short. I just posted about the blog there and if more people join I will have more Jaiku contacts and I will write more Jaikus… My name is Macouno there. And I guess the competing service is Twitter and MSN Messenger and iChat and…
