Re-Tweeted - Top Post Titles

Posted: 02 Apr 2008 04:10 AM CDT

After the success of last week’s Re-Tweet project where I asked my Twitter followers to submit posts around a theme I thought I’d give it another go this week.

This week I asked followers to submit their best post title (and URL) from the last month on their blogs.

My hope in this (like last week) was to give the rest of us a little inspiration in the writing of our own posts - particularly the titles. You see the title of a post is such an important thing - it can mean the difference between your post being read or not.

So here are the 116 submissions (where people submitted more than one I’ve only included the first) that I received from my Twitter followers. Surf them - link up to those you connect with and if you’re on Twitter follow as many of this great bunch of bloggers as you can!

Why Bloggers Blog - [VIDEO MASHUP]

Posted: 01 Apr 2008 01:48 PM CDT

Last week I put out the call for video posts on the topic of ‘Why I Blog’. This is a ‘group project’ of sorts and my hope was to see bloggers experiment with producing videos all around the same topic.

The result was 36 bloggers tackling the challenge and submitting their videos. The videos exceeded my expectations with a while range of bloggers participating. We have bloggers who have just started out along side bloggers who’ve made a successful business from blogging. We have bloggers from around the world (and even one video in Spanish), bloggers young and old, male and female, human and…. dog. Some are serious, some funny, some abstract….

Some of the videos are ‘talking head’ in style, others get a little creative (and at times bizarre) - but all take up the topic and run with it.

As promised in my launch post - here they are. I hope you enjoy this mashup of voices. Thanks to each blogger who submitted a video - I hope I didn’t miss anyone!

How to Come Up with Topics to Write About On Your Blog

Posted: 01 Apr 2008 08:27 AM CDT


In today’s video post I want to show you a technique that can help those of us struggling to come up with ideas to post about on our blogs to discover post ideas that are relevant to what our readers are looking for information on. In the few minutes that this video goes for I come up with 15 or so post ideas - you can too.

The size of the video above might be a little small for you to pick up all of the detail in the screen cast so for a larger version see it also at Revver and YouTube. Also - once the screen cast part of the video starts you may need to turn up your volume slightly.

The two tools mentioned in this post are 103bees and Sitemeter but you could glean the same information from virtually any web metrics tool.
