Hi Ange…

And with the improvements that the application’s developers are looking at now, it is going to get even better!

This has become by far my favorite Facebook application! I haven’t seen any of the others continue to evolve beyond a certain point!

Cheers, and thanks for the comment!

Hi Allan, I love Blog Friends for exactly the reasons you state in your post. It’s great to be able to see your friends posts as well as have your own promoted on your profile!

Actually, I didn’t realise until last week that I had fans who read my blog on my profile… it was a nice surprise. I have seen an improvement in it’s appearance and the fact that your friends profile pictures all appear next to the post makes it kind of personal.

Great post!

Hi again,
I managed to check out facebook for a while, managed to fill out some details in my profile etc…have to spend some more time there though, it sounds pretty good.
As for stumble yes, I am actually using it regularly almost as a bookmark of people from BC, my mutual friends blogs I visit almost daily so it’s great for that.
I’m not exactly sure how everything works as i’m quite new to blogging but since installing google analytics on my blog about 2 weeks ago i’ve had over 2,000 page views with almost 1,000 being unique visitors which is so encouraging.
It’s not just about traffic though,i’m slowly getting more and more comments and to me that’s one of the most important things as it means at least some of my articles are worth talking about.
Ok I will check facebook out some more, probably tomorrow now as it’s late for me.
Catch you later.

Tony:)

Hey Tony,

Thanks for the feedback! Look me up on facebook as well!

I was checking my Blog Friends stats earlier, and I am beginning to grow a good readership base there!

It’s been a relatively quiet day on the site itself, so the fact that people are still reading my content there is really encouraging!

As for Stumbleupon - stick with it! Forget about using it for traffic, just use it as a social site, stumble sites, add more interests, and as people get to know you, they will visit your site anyway!

Hi Allan,
It’s not often I will jump into anything, especially when it’s in beta, but this actually looks like it’s quite well advanced for something new.
You sold me on the idea simply because of the fact you can view a lot of things in the one area which is perfect, it should mean you haven’t got to click on 3 or 4 different areas to find a latest post etc..
I’m going to test this one and I will post back here once i’ve tried it out, point out what I think are it’s good points and also any pitfalls if I find any.
I’m still testing stumble, I said I was going to test it for a couple of months and I will stick to that time frame, as of yet I still haven’t made up my mind, it’s great for increasing traffic but that’s it as far as I can tell.
It will take a couple of days for me to work this new facebook into my schedule but it looks like this might allow me to do more with this one than I can with stumble, will let you know, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
