Strange Powers – The Shins
Love this song and this band. Original by The Magnetic Fields
“what a golden age
what a time of right and reason
the consumers king
and unhappiness is treason”
Top traffic sources to my blog
I didn’t make it to the 140 conference. I caught pieces of the of the various sessions on Twitter and various blogs.
I wish I could have been there for the Ann Currie session. I heard it was quite interesting.
Fred discussed the power of passed links at the conference and how services like Facebook and Twitter are driving more traffic than ever to various websites. I’ve been hearing about this from our various portfolio companies as well as larger companies too.
And while I do check out my Tumblarity score (today is 480 btw), I don’t check Google analytics too often for this blog.
But I checked it out today. Here’s where the traffic is coming from:
For the last few months, Twitter has been driving more traffic to this blog than Google.
Another thing to point out is Tumblr. Tumblr has been growing significantly. According to Quantcast the Tumblr network is now a Top 200 site.
Reblogging on Tumblr is definately contributing to this high referral rate.
I am surprised that Google is so low. Maybe I need to come up with better titles to my posts!
I wouldn’t know a Twitter from a tweeter, but apparently, it is very important
She’s A Rainbow – The Rolling Stones
I woke up with this song in my head so here it is. enjoy.
I was on Fox Business News last night talking about Iran and Twitter.
My kids got a kick out of seeing me on tv.
(I’m told the video is on the fox biz news website)
Update: Thx to Ajit who posted a link to the actual video in the comments below.
My Apartment – Ben Kweller
I’m in NYC today for 3 back to back board mtgs. So I decided to make this my song of the day because of this great line about new york:
“But I like it here in my small space.
New York’s the place where the sidewalks know my face”
That a new information technology could be improvised for this purpose so swiftly is a sign of the times. It reveals in Iran what the Obama campaign revealed in the United States. You cannot stop people any longer. You cannot control them any longer. They can bypass your established media; they can broadcast to one another; they can organize as never before.
I Am A Lonesome Hobo – Bob Dylan
There is so much great new music coming out these days. But there’s nothing like Dylan.
