The number of people who have subscribed to Keener Living has slowly continued to climb to about 350. Certainly not a large number, but I am grateful for it, and pleased that it continues to grow.
This morning, though, my stats showed them at 150. This drop is probably not a real one; rather, it is probably due to the fact that Google now handles the feeds instead of Feedburner, and the transfer of the feed accounting still has some catching up to do. (Update: After a few days, the Google accounting began showing the 350+ count for the number of subscribers.
Google took on the feeds yesterday, and the feeds are now at a new address:
http://feeds.keenerliving.com/keenerliving/hBOQ
For email subscriptions, the new address is
http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=keenerliving/hBOQ&loc=en_US
According to Google, you should not have to update your feeds to reflect this new address: they supposedly have put in redirects so that all old feeds are automatically redirected to the new address. However, if you want to unsubscribe and resubscribe, you will be assured of having the new address.
I also have a redirector in place that gets it into the FeedBurner/Google/WhoeverOwnsFeedBurnerNext feed system. If you previously subscribed to that, you’re in good shape.
Okay, enough of the “stuff.” As to the links, I’d like to feature the Twitter streams of Tim O’Reilly, Steve Rubel, and Thomas R Hall. If you use Twitter, you really should follow these guys. They frequently tweet very useful information, especially of a technical nature. Thomas has not done so recently, because he is recovering from surgery, but he will be back to Twitter in time and will post a lot of good information. My Tweets are more of a mixed bag: some days I will tweet a half dozen great links, and then I’ll go for a week without tweeting any. But, if you’d like to follow me, I’d certainly be honored, and will try to make it worth your while. Regardless, you really should follow Tim, Steve, and Thomas.
One final link. We recently had a discussion about whether you can trust your trusted GTD system. In that discussion, I noted that Google had discontinued some services, and I indicated that other companies could cull some of their web-based services, some of which we may rely on for GTD implementation. While not GTD-related, I noticed this morning that Search Engine Land has an article on Google dropping the iPhone-optimized iGoogle page, and doing so without making any announcements about it. Apparently this has ticked off a lot of iPhone users. While not GTD-related, it is another example of our being in changing times. Hence, we need to exercise caution in what we adopt for our trusted systems. (Of course, that should apply during all times … it just seems so much noteworthy now.)
