I saw this Bufferapp article on declining social media traffic. We’ve lost nearly half our social referral traffic in the last year I say. No wonder. Everybody is online, creating tonnes of content. Most people are too busy to read, let alone follow so many data streams. Many web pages don’t get any traffic at… Continue reading Referral traffic from social media has dropped

Notes and photos from #UXcampch
Some notes and photos from Saturday’s UX camp in Zürich: Adrian Sameli took us thru the process of building infographics. His tip on tools to use: Excel and Adobe Illustrator. He tried one or two infographic tools but didn’t like them much. In the discussion we looked at d3js.org. Next, I attended a session on… Continue reading Notes and photos from #UXcampch
#POSSE: A clickable demo of my simple #indieweb blog

WP posted the entry to Twitter using WP plugins Hum and Publicize One of my Twitter followers replied to my tweet.

#POSSE learnings – Things to add
Testing in progress. I’m using my self-hosted WordPress to tweet. It works. WordPress offers Aside and Link formats for short entries. Some things I’ll need to add or general comments: I often tweet external links I find interesting. Twitter is my Delicious substitute. I need some kind of URL shortener for links that will appear… Continue reading #POSSE learnings – Things to add
Malawi on Twitter – Version June 2013
Twitter lists are its most powerful and least-used feature. (Source) While I am fully aware, that Twitter lists have lost significance in the past years, I still maintain a list on Malawi. Since the early days of Twitter, Malawian content has increased many fold. Social media content about Malawi during general election time, or about… Continue reading Malawi on Twitter – Version June 2013
Bufferapp stats for tweets and posts
I am confused by the analytics view shown in Bufferapp. Consider the 2 tweets i posted this morning: One has 0 (zero) clicks and one has close to 200. I am not questioning the 0. It’s a known fact Twitter engagement has gone down. Disappeared. But… I am fairly sure that nobody clicked on my… Continue reading Bufferapp stats for tweets and posts
Today
For future reference, some twitter poetry to keep: Faved RT @MissKateSmall: RT @SummerHouseSA: “What day is it?” asked Pooh. “Its today” squeaked Piglet. “My favourite day” said Pooh. ☺ — sand (@nchenga) June 7, 2012

Sunny Sunday
I just got back from a run around the Finnenbahn. The distance is nothing to write home about, but it was a pleasurable experience with temperatures around 18 degrees. Spring is here. With all the fresh air rushing thru my system, I was in mindblogging mode. Reflecting on all the data I have been consuming… Continue reading Sunny Sunday

Mindblogging
Inspired by lots of fresh air After lots of hours cramped in front of my books, trying to catch up with my studies, I went jogging for a couple of rounds on the Finnenbahn ( a sawdust track ) in the woods. Usually I find running around in circles boring. But today I didn’t mind… Continue reading Mindblogging
Hiding in Full Public View
In January my stats dropped to an all time low. There are a number of reasons, I guess. One reason is that I haven’t been writing much lately. Just an occasional link. Short cross-references to my Flickr stream. That’s it. Another reason is my retro-style homepage, which points to my other life stream options (Twitter,… Continue reading Hiding in Full Public View
Ten Differences between Skype and Twitter
On the train to northern Germany. Three more hours to go. It’s been a long day and my motivation to get some work done is kind of missing. So here’s a text message from the train. Longer than 140 characters. Maybe. Two doctors across the aisle are loudly discussing other doctors, Basel hospitals, the Swiss… Continue reading Ten Differences between Skype and Twitter
On Following Tweet Streams
I recently talked to Persillie on the difficulty of following people’s tweet streams. Esp. if you have a limited time budget and can only tune into Twitter every so often. For example, I follow Kathy Sierra’s stream at Twitter. You can see quite a few of her 140 character statements in my Twitter Favorites. Re:… Continue reading On Following Tweet Streams
