There is no 'I' in self-promotion. Oh, there is isn't there?

Our Man doesn't quite get it, but he's been sticking allegedly cool technical bits and bobs on the site in his continuing bid for world domination. The latest is a little feedburner thing that allegedly measures how many folk subscribe to OMIA - though Our Man knows for a fact it's more than 1, as the counter claims, because he signed up twice himself, damn it. In more exciting self-promotion "news", he's added a Google follower thingy to the site. This enables folk to proclaim their devotion to the gospel of St Ourmani Nabiko and has "social networking functions" and stuff. Don't quite get it, but it's there for all you smart kids who do. Oh, and Our Man felt sorry for the lone disciple, so he joined too. Go on, check out these exciting new exciting things in a prime real estate location - bottom left just above the map. Here's a little teaser for you: Can you discover where Our Man got the idea for the silhouette from? Just follow the leader...

Well you are on my reader, so that's at least three.

And feedburner has got issues. Last week my number almost doubled, then halved, and now is back to normal. Emotional rollercoaster for poor attention-craving little ol' me...

Trying so hard to stick to the mantra "It's the posts, stupid" not the number crunching widget gadget technocrati hit hunting that's important in growing readership.

Recently saw an interview with Bono in which he defended himself against the claim of selling out (over the ipod marketing thing). He said something along the lines of "Look, we want as many people as possible to hear our music. If you don't want to sell out, get a f*cking potter's wheel and do your art in the privacy of your own bedroom, otherwise tell the whole world what you're doing and why they should listen."

Don't worry Doc, Our Man hasn't got a clue either. But then, you already knew that.
