(Quick Editorial Note: Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson is a decent late winter excuse to go to the movies. It also makes a convenient blog post title when commenting about selling your soul to the evils of technology).
I’ve gone to the dark side. In the past, I have hated Twitter. I think I still might hate Twitter, but I’m not above selling out to help drive traffic to my lovely little blog.
Here’s how the sausage gets made now…my reason behind signing up for Twitter:
1) I make a blog post on The Great Wahl.
2) A ‘tweet’ is automatically generated on my Twitter account.
3) A ‘status update’, with a link to the blog post, is automatically generated from my Twitter account to my Facebook account, where I have scores of both fake and real friends that will easily see it.
4) Hopefully some of said fake and real friends will click on the link and visit my website, simultaneously boosting my web traffic, ego, and feeling of self worth (which are all perfectly correlated).
So, if you are too anonymous to become a Facebook friend, follow my twitter account. Then you should, in theory, if this all works out, be able to see right away whenever I make a new blog post.
Last night, I optimized this site for the iPhone. Now I’m making it much easier for you to passively follow my blog via newfangled technology. I’m a man of the people.
Let’s see how this goes…
