The quickest way to get people to stop following you is to provide a lack of good content or engaging dialogue. Thanking each of your new followers is a nice concept, but not practical. Keep in mind that tweeting the names of those following you is not valuable content to anyone. If you set the precedence you’re going to thank each and every person, you better be prepared to keep it up. Mashable
Why should anyone but the owner have a say what color the house is?
I don’t know whether to feel sorry for her or laugh at her phobia.

Either Post or Stop

Today I removed CyberNetNews from my RSS Feeds. Why? Because they continue to claim they post, but 99% of the stuff is rehashes or recaps. I don’t want to see recaps, I want to see new content, if you’re not going to post new original content there is no point in me subscribing to your feed.

I understand the site was started for fun and was taking up more of their time than they planned to. I can see reducing posts, but the site is pointless now. I have 100+ feeds I subscribe to and the less I have to browse the better for me.

So to all the other bloggers who are looking to reduce their output, if you plan to post more links lists, wrapups or anything of the sort, don’t. Just say you’re going to stop posting and offer your delicious account or twitter. Don’t waste our times lying about what you will do.
