Hey does anybody out there have tips on how I can use Jabber through Adium, perhaps using GMail? I’ve run out of time to try and figure it out.

Inline chat with folks on your site
Group or private chat via Mobber.com
Check that out! Couldn’t be simpler, this service called Mobber was posted on Emily Chang’s eHub. What’s the e in eHub stand for? For the e in Web 2.0 names like Mobber that didn’t get eliminated. No, but it’s nice to see that e.
If readers here and I like this, I may try shrinking it and putting it in my sidebar. Can you imagine how much fun it would be to IM with some one reading the same article you are at the same time and say “have you figured out how to get this tool to work? Marshall’s writing is incomprehensible!” Talk about the loss of control over the message that comes through a site though! It almost scares even me.
We’ll have to see how all the specifics in IMness work out in this system. Seems like a cool idea though.
I just tried another service called userplane, but it didn’t make anything appear in a blog post. That one has a Drupal plug in though, which is nice. I think I like mobber.
Back in the action again
I’ve been away for awhile at a conference about the web with almost no internet access at it. Had a great time but cannot understand why that happened. It made me very angry.
Now I’ve got to get back to posting on the various blogs I’m responsible for. Hope all are well, more later.

I also need to write a how to use OPML post, but I am just slammed with catch up work right now.
Interview with Rick Klau of FeedBurner
Readers here who enjoyed my post on How and Why to Use Feedburner (for RSS management) may like a recent interview I did with Rick Klau, VP of biz dev at FeedBurner. Very understandable, yet in depth at the same time. The most interesting part is how they count the number of subscribers.

Back in OR again
Back from SXSW. Had a great time. Now lots of catch up to do. I’ll post the fruits of my labor here over the next week or so.
Tips on beginning to blog
I like this list of tips, it’s thorough and succinct. From Rob Cottingham at Social Signal, a Vacouver consultancy that you should check out if you’re interested in a key example of what people are doing in the Web 2.0 and nonprofit space. I work with Social Signal folks on Net Squared.
From their e-newsletter:
Tips on beginning to blog
1. Serve yourself. Know why you’re blogging: a sense of mission can go a long way to keeping your blog interesting, focused and on track.
2. Serve your audience. Figure out who you want to reach, and what they’re looking for (as well as what they don’t need to hear).
