There’s a current trend of broadcasting data out to multiple sites, taking aggregated content and redistributing it throughout all the networks we’re members of. It’s a great way to brand yourself, optimize search, keep up with all of your friends, and centralize the workload that goes into maintaining your online persona.Friendfeed, for example, acts as a hub for all the things you’re...

Who builds a view?
via Viewzi - Blog RSS Feed by (author unknown) on June 03, 2008
Shared by Brandon A clever Viewzi Post about who makes the views. I love Viewzi. Mainly for the weather and mp3 views.Building a view is a lot like putting on a rock concert. Aside from the performers that you see on stage there is a complex ecosystem of producers, writers, record executives, stage hands, technicians, equipment, and venue operators that make the concert possible.
