Spamming Om Malik



Om Malik and I used to be Facebook friends. Mitch Kapor used to follow me on Twitter. Those were the days.

I guess I have not exactly arrived yet as a tech blogger.

Om, I got news for you. I am not trying to be a tech blogger. I just happen to have a blog. I am a startup guy.



We have mutual friends in Sree (Five Years Of Gmail: What Would Gsus Do? ) and JP (I Get Twitter).

And a not so mutual friend in Kristi Fundu: https://twitter.com/relaxmedia/status/1558133194 (My Relationship With Ashton Kutcher)

Digg Button, Twitter Button For Your Blog Posts



Add digg button to each of your blog posts | Bloganol.com
Cranial Soup: Add a TwitThis Button to your Blogger posts

Add This

I just added these buttons to my blog. I figured they will help spread the word out a little. Although my blog has best served me for small group communication purposes. This is no mass traffic blog. It is a communication tool. Helps me get my point across. And also speaks to my blogging hobby. It is both business and pleasure, like James Bond says in a movie: "Hopefully both!"

You do want a larger audience. You do want to build a community around your blog. Post it and they will come does not cut it. You have to go where people are already assembled.



You add the buttons and it is one step easier for visitors to help you spread the word if the spirit might move them.

One glitch for me now is the two buttons work for individual posts only. Otherwise your general blog URL is what gets tweeted. Still, no complaints. So if you want to tweet/digg a particular blog post, get on the web address with that particular blog post, then press the button.
