This is a call to bloggers to practice what you preach and then share your results with the rest of us. If you can’t live up to your own hype, then maybe you should consider not wasting our time with your vapid blog entries. It’s time for a useful blogosphere, not one riddled with information [...]

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Ahh, the good old saying, “If you can’t measure it, then you can’t manage it.” Google’s FeedBurner service helps solve this problem with your RSS feeds (What the hell is RSS?), and it adds some really cool features along with it.
