@robin yap
Thank you for the feedback. Interesting how some things that we have seen time and again, in a different light, can make us see the world differently.

Great analogy. Learning can come from anywhere… walruses and other mammals included.

I find feedburner as frustrating as you. I have been testing the email subscription notification method for a week, and can’t get it to work. Two guestions to the forums and no response. The troubleshooting list sucks, the how to list sucks, and I’m bascially fed up. Feedburner - get your bloody act together or go away. Is there another service that works for email notification that I could use

@Christiana
I think your questions are great! In fact, the “labs” that they offered were small group discussions in large conference rooms, without technology (thus no direct connection and integration with the wikis). Having an open “wiki station” like the email stations may have made a difference.

The more I think about this, the more I want to do some proposal around all of this for next year. Have to consider in what capacity . . .

Comment on Exclude (Twitter) Feeds from Overwhelming WordPress’s Front Page by Jeffrey Keefer

@Barbara Dieu
I think you have isolated how Twitter can meet a real need as a microblogging application. I like the flexible API and how others have used it to integrate the content (our content!) whereever we like.

I have the Twitter tool plugin in my WP blog as at some moments, I do not have time to blog a longer post but spend the day twittering between tasks and the daily digest allows me (and my readers, if there are any) to get an idea of what is going on and that I am alive without having to follow the instant Twitter updates.However, thank you for pointing to Simply Exclude. It seems a good way to control them and send them to a different page.

Done with the testing for today. I think enough is working that I can now sleep!

@Bill Mann

Glad the test is working. Have you been receiving emails for the site every day, or did it just begin today?

Have not seen the new Yahoo mail. What do you think about it?

Comment on WordPress (2.5.1) FeedBurner and RSS Issues by Jeffrey Keefer

@John Smith
Feedburner has a WordPress plug-in that converts all the default blog feeds into a single one oriented to the Feedburner one. The problem I finally determined was that the default one it looks for, in my case http://silenceandvoice.com/feed, changed in the current version of WordPress (an unusual thing to happen, as defaults do not normally change).

I decided to use Subscribe2 because I prefer to self and internally manage these function rather than send it out (to Feedburner / Google), as when their systems do not work well (as has been the case), then I have no recourse whatsoever.

A comment and a question, Jeffrey:

Marshall Kirkpatrick suggested to me that it’s better to hide all but one of your feeds (to drive people towards the Feedburner version, so you can gather stats easily). I wonder whether your experience makes that more problematic.

The question: why did you decide to use subscribe2? Had any problems with it?

You know, Tony’s Web 2.0 session was packed. A lot of hungry and curious people. Does ASTD offer sessions in labs? It would be great to have a lab session where people could sign right up. Otherwise, I am afraid they sit in the session and love it…then return to “real life.” Maybe ASTD needs a lab running like the email stations but this one is for people who have questions and are afraid to ask. Maybe it opens right after a session explaining the “best” of web 2.0 and how it can meet your needs.

@eddy
Have not seen it since. However, I have been having countless problems with Google’s Feedburner service, and am starting to wonder what it going on over there . . .
