That’s why it took so long for me to write a blog post about my return to knitting (or about anything else, for that matter). This was well before I started blogging, so my knitting addiction never came up in a post before. Before, there were some high-activity listservs and sites with patterns to download.

Last week, there was a useful exchange on the NTEN Affinity group for Nonprofit Bloggers around the question "What metrics do you use to measure success for your blog?" the listserv question was focused on blog metrics and primarily as traffic and driving traffic! Are blog metrics all about traffic?

Last month, in a blog post that I wrote called " RSS As Information Coping Tool " - experimented with switching some my listserv subscriptions to RSS reader. Makes sense to really think about whether an information source/listserv is giving you value or not. But, not all listserv RSS feeds are a like!

I first met Amy Fox when she de-lurked on the Museum Computer Network listserv. Broadly, I'm researching how museums are using micro-blogging. If followers already subscribe to your blog and you only tweet blog posts, there is no reason for them to follow you on Twitter. Somehow that morphed into my thesis topic.
