This was the year of the desktop Linux, how is that?

Here are his words

This is also the year where the definition of a desktop has changed. Apple changed it with the iPhone and, now, the iPad. Microsoft has failed to deliver in both these key areas. Linux has not.

Google gets the credit for that. As I noted yesterday Google Android has soaked up the excess demand for Internet hand-held devices that the iPhone left on the floor. My guess is that, once Chromium comes out, you’ll have the same experience there.

Linux has broken through because Google has the size to go toe-to-toe with either Microsoft or Apple, and push product through distribution. (Remember, there is a price lower than free.)

It’s the compatibility between Chromium and Android, based on Linux, which I think gives the old mouse-and-keyboard upright posture desktop Linux yet-another chance.

I am talking about source of traffic for your blog. And I must admit that I am doing exactly that. More than 80% of the traffic to my main blog comes from google.
Yes it is good traffic, but not enough, and also too risky, as I am not an expert here, I will quote some of the experts in the area.

Darren Rose from Problogger (https://twitter.com/problogger) says in:

7 Considerations on Generating Traffic to Your Blog (http://www.problogger.net/archives/2010/02/12/7-factors-on-generating-traffic-to-your-blog/)

• There are Many Valid Sources of Traffic

• Traffic Patterns Change over the life cycle of a blog

• Too many Eggs in One Basket Can Be Dangerous

Bottom line of the post: You need to have diverse traffic sources to your blog, otherwise you may suffer some bad experience some dark day.

Yes, you should work on getting Google traffic, but you shouldn’t do it the exclusion of everything else. If the bulk of your traffic comes from Google, then you need to work on getting other traffic sources. Just as I advise that Google AdSense shouldn’t be your sole online income source, Google search shouldn’t be your sole traffic source.

Maybe these two are the most anoying ones:

• The upcoming section is gone.
  Out of 200+ Million pageviews in July, only 0.4% was from upcoming (yes, that's less than 1/2 of a percent). I definitely see the fun behind wanting to see stories just before they jump, so we'll add a view of upcoming popular stories soon.
• Mainstream outlets and power users have been given more power over the front page.
  All diggs are still equal, nothing has changed there. Our directory of recommended users will eventually open to the entire world. We will sort users, not on popularity (followers), but based on how good you are at finding/digging content (similar to wefollow.com). This will remove the popularity contest and put the focus on quality diggers.

People have started boycotting Digg by submitting reddit news to Digg, and they are getting to the front page.

By the time of this write the number one story on reddit.com reddit is

http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/d77tt/um_reddit_is_currently_the_source_for_6_of_the/

That leads to this page

I can be wrong but in my opinion Digg is not going to listen to the users and nothing is going to change. In a few days the buzz will tend to stop.

Anyway, maybe the big winner will be reddit.com as a lot of users from Digg are starting to follow stories there, and they report they like it. This is a comment of one of them.

reddit isn't actually as bad as I thought it was, it looked like a confusing mess beforehand but now it's better than this garbage

There are two options, one of them is described in the official posterous.
http://blog.posterous.com/gmail-supports-inline-images-place-images-any

The other one is using imgur, I prefer it because it is independent of the interface being used to post, let's say Gmail, thunderbird, outlook, yahoo, hotmail or any other source.

To do it, just upload the image in imgur (really easy, just to http://imgur.com) and then place the link in your post.

Like this

Then when you send the email, posterous will load the image, and re-host it for you inline the post.

Here is a screenshot of how this post was seen while editing.

And all images are now inline.

Happy blogging

No need to create accounts, or use tags, or nothing.. just upload and share with no hassles

As simple as post in posterous :).

The uses are too much, but I see some of the best in sharing pics, or screenshots via email, or while on a chat. Let's say you are trying to explain something happening on your PC via chat to the tech support guy, just take a screenshot, and share it with him.

You can also use it to host images for your blog (unless you are blogging with posterous. hehe). I have also seen a lot of people using it to share something on reddit or StumbleUpon.  Yes, people making screenshots of letters.

The imgur's home page is really simple and self explanatory, as you may see below.

If you want you can also create an account, and share albums with your family.

As soon as you upload an image be sure to take note of the

Digg used to be a great place to visit, there can usually be found a good mixture of stories all driven by the users. It was like a good democracy, where every vote count.
Yes, there were some users whose votes "count more", but what actually happened was that these users had so many "followers" that their submission has more chances to get the front page.
After talking to one of them, I realized that not even him can guarantee before hand if a submission was going to be successful or not, and that was good.
With the new version, the big sites like masheable or engadget own the power, that is not the idea of a place like digg.
If anyone wants a digest of masheable, engadget, or gizmodo there is google RSS reader.

More power to the power?, I think that some people already has too much power on the Internet to be given even more power. We need places where everyone has the same power, like Digg was once.
