Shorten your urls with WP.me
Blogging News With the recent closing and then reopening of tr.im, url shorteners have been in the news a lot. Matt Mullenweg is keeping them in the news a bit longer with the announcement of WP.Me, WordPress.coms new url shortener and apparently the only two letter .me domain in the world. Matt explains that it is different from services such as TinyURL in a few ways: Every blog and post on WordPress.com has a WP.me URL now. These are all exposed in the ...
Continue reading500 years of Newspapers – How many years of blogs?
Blogging News While the blogging “industry” is still in it’s infancy, I wonder if the blogosphere will have the lifespan of a giant tortoise at close to 200 years in captivity or the less than a decade lifespan of the Betamax videocassette. Will blogs continue to evolve or will they one day follow the newspapers into the world of cold and harsh oblivion>? Let’s briefly consider the life spans of the newspaper and the blog to begin ...

Blogging News Once a major player in the blogosphere, Technorati has been out of the limelight a little since Twitter crashed the party. Therefore they have teamed up with Muck Rack to launch their new Twitter themed site, the aptly named Twittorati. Their tagline is ‘Where the blogosphere and twittersphere meet’ but I have to agree with Jordan McCollum from Marketing Pilgram in that they don’t actually meet per say, they just happen to be ...

Yesterday saw the launch of a new coaching program from David Risley, a successful blogger who is best known for his popular tech blog PC Mech.

The ebook contained a huge amount of tips and ideas and is well worth downloading. Gyutae is moving onto bigger and better things with today being the launch of his new member site Winners Circle. Unlike other member sites which try and explain how you can build up a successful website from start, Winners Circle teaches ...

Blogging News This week the UK High Court ruled that anonymous bloggers have no right to have their identities kept secret. The ruling was made because of a blog which Detective Constable Richard Horton of Lancashire Constabulary used to run called NightJack (no longer live). In his blog he gave citizens advice such as : If the Police arrive to lock you up, say nothing. You are a decent person and you may think that reasoning with the Police will help. Wrong. ...
Continue readingFeedburner Counts Appear Incorrectly High Because of FriendFeed
Blogging News I logged in today to see that the subscriber count for BloggingTips had increased from 4,697 yesterday to 5,617 today, a huge jump in subscribers. I was obviously surprised to see this as normally the BloggingTips count grows slowly but steadily. Perhaps Feedburner was previously counting subscibers incorrectly and had now resolved the problem or maybe I just had a huge traffic increase over the last few days. I visited Feedburner and quickly ...
