I Came, I Saw, I Suffered Immensely
Have you actually met any of these people?
- a large proportion of friends and family, to me, at various points in the last decade.
Hi.
There’s a very good chance that we’ve never met. But that’s okay – we can still be friends. And here’s why that is. (more…)
However much I love Twitter (and despite being eternally conflicted, I do love Twitter) – there’s a lot about it that doesn’t bode well. It probably won’t destroy the world anytime soon, but the prospect of using Twitter in 2011 is disturbing me.
Here are a few reasons why. (more…)
I’ll admit it – I love Stumbleupon.
And I’d be ungrateful if I didn’t, because it’s been really nice to my website. I use SU for fun, but like millions of others I also use it to make my writing visible to a wider audience. My two-part series The Human Scale of Cold and The Human Scale Of Hot went “viral” on Stumbleupon and sent a combined total of 78,000 visitors to my website this year (a tenth of my annual traffic with just two posts). It’s a great way to get your stuff out there.
But it’s also easy to turn into a spammer – and get booted off the site for good. (more…)
Blimey. I link to the marvellous Lifehacker a few posts back…and now they’re linking to me.
Is this something that works everywhere, I wonder? Well, one way to find out…
…
Love your work on Canadians, Will.
Hi. I am available round the clock for extensive pushing-your-products-into-my-face behaviour, perhaps even to the brink of death. I’m not actually proud of this – it’s more of an objective observation.
Hey, if you ever run out of room for stuff…
Tappity tappity tap. That’s what I do, being a writer. But don’t just take my word for it. Give me a 12-book deal and watch me go. (After the all-important hedonistic, round the world, drunk on life, year-long binge, of course).
You’re purrty.
