Well, however suspicious we’ve been of Google’s motivations over AMP, this is worse than any of us expected, I think… searchengineland.com/google-throttl…
Whoops. Been meaning to post about this for weeks, and now it’s tomorrow: the News and Editorial SEO Summit is an SEO event, organised by luminaries like @badams and with a great line-up of hands-on people to hear from. Online event, obvs:
Understanding how to use analytics well in journalism is a critical skill — what’s useful to look at? And what’s distracting?
One of my most popular in-house courses for publishers is available to all through @journalism, kicking off next week:
Any #interhacktives on the social side looking for a move up? @djknowles22 is recruiting at the Telegraph… twitter.com/djknowles22/st…
If you want to understand where journalism went wrong, you need to look no further than one of the major organisations for news publishers putting out a piece that assumes that most newsrooms aren’t reader-centric.
They’re right, but c’mon…
This is interesting, if it proves accurate. Time to revise some of your strategy assumptions about the 60+ cohort: inpublishing.co.uk/articles/44-of…
@TexanMeg Still use and love my Pocket 1. They’re great bits of kit.
We still have spaces on our audience engagement course kicking off on Thursday. It’s probably the most career-transformative course I teach.
Please join us! (2/2)
If you enjoyed this #newsrewired session on audience, community development and engagement — then I have good news for you… (1/2)
The depressing thing about this is that you can substitute the word “blogs” for the word “newsletters” and you’re very close to a thread that would have worked in 2008.
Discovery is hard - that’s why social media, which sorta solved that problem, dominated. twitter.com/davidbauer/sta…
Also worth noting: it’s why so many of the big newsletter names are now people who already had big audiences. The indie creator who came from nothing is becoming a rarer part of the story.
This morning I note that a well-known podcaster and commentator’s plan to goose his engagement by tweeting something that he knows will be hate-retweeted by his political opponents is working depressingly well. 🤦🏼♂️

@SophieWarnes @omandhb @Ghost Something to consider – ta.
And so ends a blog I’ve been reading since 2003 (ish). Sad news. brianmicklethwaitsnewblog.com/2021/10/15/sad…
@SophieWarnes @omandhb Are you actively blocking JavaScript or anything on your MacBook? I know a few people have pushed back on @Ghost’s portal because of that.
Doc Searls on supply chains:
“But the worldwide supply chain (which is less a single chain than braided rivers spreading outward from many sources through countless deltas) is impossible to reduce to any one formal cause.” blogs.harvard.edu/doc/2021/10/15…
@SophieWarnes Interesting — are you not seeing this? t.co/jtKwSsMK7… 
Really positive feedback from TL;DR issue 1 on my blog. That’s a nice thing to start a Friday with. onemanandhisblog.com/2021/10/tldr-i…
Doing a new thing. A short thing. An attention-efficient thing: TL;DR: onemanandhisblog.com/2021/10/tldr-i…
The “Christmas Stocking Fillers” PR emails have started arriving, despite the fact I’ve never once done a gift guide in 18 years of writing my blog.
Maybe this year’s the year? 🤷
What stocking fillers would be appropriate for journalists, anyway?
@iroughol Some social media freelancers seem to just bill it straight to the client, based on discussions I’ve seen. So, ultimately, a bigger business is paying.
