What’d I miss? In detail.
Posted on March 6th, 2024 in What'd I Miss?
Because I never write here, because pretty much everything I do is a secret wrapped in an enigma smothered in an NDA, but because god if I don’t know some vocal and productive people– I used that Twitter thinga that I’ll bet you’ve heard of to make a request:
TWITTERFRIENDS! Yes, I mean you. Projects, releases, things of interest that YOU did this week. Tell me (use #whatdimiss). Links++ good.
So what? So this. I never write here (see above) but I still get SO MUCH MORE TRAFFIC than a dead blog deserves. I figure folks do pretty well catching some excellent content from my network on the right side of the page there, but there’s a little voice in my brain saying "shit, woman, do you know how many people are doing things that would be really well served by the traffic you gather just by, well, sitting there and doing nothing?"
So I’m giving this a go. Here’s how this is going to work:
On Friday (that’s today!) I’m up every morning at fuckall am. We’ll see how many replies I get and, if there’s enough to make something that looks like a week in review, I’ll post links out to YOUR pages on Monday morning.
Yep. Free traffic. All you gotta do is twitter me a what and a where (and, if you have characters left, adding the hashtag #whatdimiss will help me find them all). Should be dead easy, as I’m not putting any constraints on the content except: a time frame of this week (if you’re doing something next week, tell your friends to gimme their shit this week so I think it’s worth doing long enough to get to your project) and I want links to your stuff (I don’t want random CNN news unless you’re in it, and I don’t want links to your mates– they can twitter me themselves. I’ll probably make exceptions for (positive) reviews and editorials, since writing up multiple paragraphs on [x] is doing something, but no, I’m not interested in your delicious links.).
Now, I’ve got an idea that people don’t actually want attention, so I’m pretty sure this idea is going to die in the water with two links this Monday and a whimpering silence if I try again next week… but what the hell. It’s worth a go, right? Right. Go.
