The Importance of Timing Where RSS Is Concerned

RSS Feed pub­li­ca­tion REALLY is all about tim­ing (where Expo­sure is con­cerned), isn’t it? I skip 1,000 at a time to catch-up, only ever read­ing the first thing in the morn­ing (think news­pa­per read­ing time), lunch, din­ner, and MAYBE just before bed. Time your pub­li­ca­tion so your syn­di­ca­tion isn’t wasted on your poten­tial readership.

GoDaddy Domain to Google Apps to Email Bliss

So I am seri­ously con­sid­er­ing now renew­ing my MobileMe/.Mac account when it comes up in 9 months. This is — indeed — quite a bit of type-a over-planning-in-advance, I real­ize, but please bear with me here: I need to get my saved IMAP fold­ers off MobileMe now! I want it on my GoDaddy account now because I get free email there with my host­ing and domain plans! My f-ing domain is there man … I want my username@mac.com saved mes­sages moved — now. See there? Just had a mas­sive type-a attack — right there, lit­er­ally via my fin­ger­tips thru the key­board out over the Inter­nets and to your inter­net con­nec­tion to your high-speed modem (prob­a­bly) then to a router (still — most have one, nut I real­ize I am now lim­it­ing my audi­ence, yes, how­ever if you are a red­neck on dial-up — still — ?
