Poll: Do You Use Digg or Netscape?

An interesting post came up on Performancing.com called Reasons Why I'm Liking Netscape Over Digg. The writer, Dee [correct me if I'm wrong], outlines why she is more interested in Netscape, and in turn, Netscape traffic, than Digg.The main argument is that Digg is more narrow-minded than Netscape, in that Netscape has more categories and, apparently, a more diverse demographic, while Digg users are your 20-40 yr old techies… Continue reading

5 Conversation and Interaction Tips

I had a phone call yesterday with someone very important, and important to me. But for the life of me, I couldn't recall a single word of what we'd talked about. (If I'd followed my own hack and written the conversation directly into the contact notes section in Gmail, I'd be saved, but I didn't.)
