Great article!

How to show recent comments on Blogger.

This is actually really simple and you can do it by using Bloggers own Gadgets, so don't use 3rd party widgets for this one, unless you really want.


First you need to know url of your blogs atom feed, the format is like this:

http://yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default

then you add new rss-feed Gadget (Feed) and use your comments rss-feed url (Feed URL) on it.

You can modify format (date etc.) of recent comments list and number of shown comments. Change feed title to 'Recent comments' or whatever you find suitable.

Simple? Yep, no coding needed. Just couple mouse clicks and voila.


There is working example on my IMYD-blog:

Plannning to make Facebook ad campaign?

I recommend to read this article first, short excerpt:

On November 20th I setup an advertising campaign on Facebook for my startup, CloudContacts. The ad setup program crashed a few times but eventually I was able to get the ad running. I selected men and women from 25 to 53 with a college degree as my initial test audience. Facebook told me that there were somewhere about 33 million users for the demographics I selected. Clearly this 33 million number is just profiles they have, not actual activity.

Here are the campaign results:
81k impressions (majority of them in the first 7 days, nearly none since)
6 clicks total for a .01 ctr
$3.23 total spent

Quick comments: Even result for clicks is horrible, I think 81 000 impressions sounds really good. You get your brand on peoples mind and maybe some did later a google search with brand name, instead of clicking ad.

US or whole world is really big market area. I bet facebook ads work better on smaller scale, like example targeted to certain country or region.

Are Digg users actually viewing digged links?

Ok. Many times I have been wondering if Digg users actually view links they are digging. Today I got some kind of proof they don't do it.

This IRAN- Police runs away video got into TOP5 on Digg News section. Right now there is over 400 diggs, but video has been viewed only less than 500 times.

Conclusion: Either Youtube stats are wrong or then Digg users are not really viewing what they are digging. They just digg because others are digging too.

Video clip is over week old, which is really easy to see from Related Videos on Youtube. Original video was uploaded 13.06.2009 to Youtube.

So Digg users digged into TOP5 News something which was over week old. I only can understand this weird scenario by stating that Digg users are not really viewing links they digg. Any comments?
