I’m sure I’ll miss you now that you’re gone even though I never noticed you were here
A comment:
All you do is repost stuff from other sites. i sorry to say i am removing you form my list of blogs that i read
He no longer likes the flavor of the free ice cream I guess. Any way, Kyle blogs here (or at least his email addy shares that domain). Gets little to no traffic or comments. I remember those days. I was a new blogger with shit to say. Then I said it all. Now, I just talk about shit other people say or link to things I find interesting. You know, we’ve talked about the stages of blogging before. Judging by his page’s activity and page rank, he’s on phase 2. Good luck with that. I’m on phase 6 myself.

Which phase is it where I just steal your reposted shit and repost it again giving credit for it being reposted shit?

I started reading here more when Kim du Toit stopped blogging. While you are much more pithy an aggregator than he ever was, it is an approach I enjoy and appreciate.
And where do I sign up for the ice cream? All I ever get here is links!

probably part of 5 ๐

I’m decidedly in stage 9. I sometimes feel like I’ve got shit to say…but mostly vent on Facebook anymore and focus on day to day life more. Blogging…guess it was a phase.

Visits are the currency of the Blogosphere.
Bloggers are (mostly) rational and will behave in ways that increase visits.
Fact: People are less likely to read long posts.
Fact: People like to click on links.
These two facts cause bloggers to write shorter posts and include more links. The ultimate end are the link bloggers like Instapundit and SayUncle.
Sure, there’s a place for essayists like Kevin Baker but if you want people to visit your blog, write less and link more.

This site is a breath of fresh air, with excellent posts and excellent commenters. You keep on doing what you’re doing, Uncle.
March 23rd, 2010 at 1:23 pm
So, um, he’s angry for you being the Instapundit of gun nut stuff?
Some people.
March 23rd, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Do you smell that? I think I’m smelling something. Yup. It’s a mouthful of jealousy. Kyle needs to floss his feelings.
I’m not ashamed to admit that Uncle is my first read of the day and the big reason is his ability to spread the knowledge.
Bet Kyle will visit everyday anyway.

unsubscribering… again.
March 23rd, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Needs more cowbell.
March 23rd, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Ermmmm … what is blog a contraction of?
“Web log”.
You know … a log of web browsing be a person. Keeping a list of their web browsing activity, with comments about it and the content viewed online?
Maybe Kyle should learn what the original meaning of blog is before whining about someone who actually does blog?

I’m glad you post links. Saves me from looking for them.
March 23rd, 2010 at 3:12 pm
I just visited his site.
Dude, if you’re listening, a period every few hundred words or so would do wonders for those trying to comprehend your posts.
March 23rd, 2010 at 3:16 pm
And his first post is a ‘repost stuff from other sites’ only without attribution.
March 23rd, 2010 at 3:28 pm
I didn’t catch that one. I was too busy trying to find a way out of the “8 months between posts” chasm I fell into over there.
March 23rd, 2010 at 3:58 pm
Dear Mr. Uncle,
Please go do something interesting and live to post about it. A shoot-out with police or mafia would be nice. Pictures of damaged gear and maimed body parts desired. If you discover any easy weight-loss or get-rich-quick secrets, please post. If you learn of any single sexy ladies in my area, please PM that info.
Sincerely,
the internet
March 23rd, 2010 at 5:34 pm
I like your blog. You do what you do good.
March 23rd, 2010 at 6:58 pm
And Kyle has just experienced his first and last
Uncle-lanche.
March 23rd, 2010 at 7:37 pm
stage 1,, no one reads me so i write to myself. The bad part is when I comment on my blog and get in a flame war with myself
March 23rd, 2010 at 8:26 pm
The only reason I started my blog was to have an internet identity. Then it got fun to play with the template — customize the page. And then I got 5,000 or more google hits on one of my poems, which makes me a published poet. ๐
March 24th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Did no-one notice I’d unsubscribered?
March 24th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
What phase is it where you just let your Twitter update your blog? I’m on that.
