So I was thinking over this whole Tumblr Tuesday thing this week, and decided to make a change. I looked at how everyone else was approaching Tuesdays here on Tumblr, and the basic gist I got was that essentially Tuesday is the day that it is socially acceptable to outright ask for recommendations. So if I’m browsing for new blogs to follow on a Tuesday, I’m going to stumble across quite a few “recommend me, pls!!” blog entries. Before long, I imagine they’re all going to start sounding the same, and generally speaking, you’re not contributing anything with that kind of blog entry.
That’s when I decided I’d do a weekly recap to share something useful on Tumblr Tuesday. Will I still ask for recommendations at some point in the blog entry? Sure. What I won’t do is beat people over the head with the notion that they simply must recommend this blog.
This week’s highlights:
Dimes2Dollars took a poll asking the question “Do you consider running an internet business ‘professional’?” I did an update partway through the week and gathered responses from a few other sources as well. There was a high level of participation, thanks everyone! The results and a personal response will be posted this week.
A detailed review of Twittelator was published. Twittelator is a 3rd-party Twitter app for iPhone. I found it to be leaps and bounds better than the competition! Streamlining frequently used functions, as well as a mind-boggling range of advanced features made it one I recommended heartily.
Less than an hour after the news broke, I decided to do a little late-night reporting on Hugo Chavez and his highly unexpected decision regarding Twitter!
Easily my favourite entry for the week, we revisit a story that The Wall Street Journal published last year on an unlikely career switch. A Wall Street businesswoman leaves a high-paying job to become a cyclist. Talk about pursuing your passion!
Finally, just a few hours ago I was scouring and came across a great find by David Chouinard. I added some commentary of my own and ReBlogged his entry, Customer Service Is Not A Department.
Please consider a recommendation if you found any of the above to be Inspiring, or otherwise useful to an Entrepreneur or Startup.
What do you think of this new Tumblr Tuesday approach? Would you like to see the weekly reports tweaked differently? Let me know in the comments below, or submit a reply!
