Introducing the Scooblog Loyal Reader Reward Program

  • Artikkeli

Hello Scooblog readers!  If you read my blog and have a blog then please leave a link below. I’d like to read your blog too.  I’m looking to shake up my subscribed feeds list and the first thing I want to accomplish is make sure that I’m listening to my readers. 

If you don’t have a blog, but read mine then I’d still like to hear from you too. Tell me what you like, don’t like, and want to see more of from this blog.  My blog is not a democracy, but I want to understand who reads this blog and why. 

I met several people at Tech-Ed that told me they read my blog, but I was ashamed to admit that I didn’t know who they were. I want to change that.  How does knowing who you are reward you, my loyal readers? 

  1. You’ll be sure to get one more reader of your blog.
  2. By reading your blog I’ll understand what sort of content would be more interesting to you and possibly create more of that type of content. 
  3. I’m going to create a “Scooblog Reader Blogroll” list on the side of this blog.  I’ll add you to the list.  Maybe you’ll find new blogs this way as well. 

Not subscribed to Scooblog?  Check out the subscription options here then drop me a line.

    Hi Josh.

    As with most of the blogs I subscribe to, I read yours because it provides me with information and insights about what the Microsoft are up to in the world of software development. Helping me keep abreast of things I need to know to do my job better.

    Hi Josh,

    I've recently started reading your blog, enjoy community posts the most, and I've added a link from mine.

    Not a programmer but keep an eye on you blog, and other IT blogs, as interested in how development will impact my world as a CAD Manager/CAD user. I have two blogs, one more work focused (CAD/IT/Blogging Tech) and the other more life/fun focused :-)

    It's not really "about" anything, but mostly ends up having a lot of music-related content, Many Excellent Quotes (in the "quotes" section), and the occasional useful software development tidbit.

    Howdy Josh.
    I've been subscribed and reading your blog for about a year now and have left a few scattered comments from time to time. As a .NET developer, I really enjoy reading it for all great dev community stuff you post. You are a good writer as well, at least compared to most developer bloggers. =) Keep up the good work.
    Cheers,

    Two blogs for me. The IEBlog team at http://blogs.msdn.com/ie is obviously the big one.

    My personal blog at http://brucemorgan.blogs.com is more a journal than industry comment or technical content, but I'm thinking of changing that once IE7 goes beta, and I can talk about my work without bumping into disclosure issues.

    Adam: Thanks for the link. Good to know when MS people read as well!

    Mike: Was already subscribed to yours. I do appreciate the link love. :-)

    Robin Curry: I've added both blogs now.

    Sushant: "Scooblog: What's a Scooblog" - possible Scoobswag fodder.

    Robin Capper: Another one I didn't know about.

    MichKap: I wasn't specifically subscribed until recently. I had been just reading off of the main MSDN feed, but I've had to cut off that firehose and do more targeted blog reading. Hence this experiment.

    Alfred: I think we've actually met a couple of times if you had trialled some of the Old VS Academic tools. I was a tester on that team when it existed. I could be wrong.

    Geoff: Steal this idea.

    Peter: Readers +=1;

    Chris W: Thanks!

    Jelle: The stick is for internal use only.

    Micheal T: Feel free to keep leaving me feedback on the community stuff I post about.

    David: Part of the fun of this is me discovering new content. So I'm subscribed.

    Kevin: Didn't know till now you had been scooped up by Rob Howard and Co. Congrats!

    Josh,

    I've been subscribed for a while now, and we even met at Tech Ed and talked briefly about the MSDN forums and VS.NET integration. I've subscribed to the main feed (and therefore your blog) for over a year now, but since the MSDN forums came out, I started following your's closer than before.

    Several months ago you asked for opinions regarding blogs and interactions. I mentioned that bloggers (at least the ones I read) seem to be fine people on the whole and it was nice to discover that Microsoft isn't the same kind of oppressive tyranny through and through as Microsoft is in the marketplace. Now you ask for opinions again and this answer is pretty much the same. Loyal reader, sure.

    Hi,
    I started reading your blog after a link from your wife's blog. You're one of about 150 odd blogs so I can't say exactly what makes me keep reading your blog - I generally just skim over the subjects of the blogs in my aggregator and if they deal with topics that interest me I'll read them, otherwise I just "mark all as read" and move on.

    I realized later that I didn't answer any of the questions you asked, I just brazenly put out my blogsite hoping for a link back. I'm such pond scum...

    I read your blog posts because I find your dealings with user/customer perceptions very informative. I've had a history of customer relations management in a couple different roles. Dealing with false perceptions and overall expectations is a tough thing.

    Reading through your feedback topics and looking at your comments to them is a nice way to how others handle these things.

    it turns out I do read your blog, but sometimes it takes another post (http://blogs.msdn.com/jledgard/archive/2005/06/27/433189.aspx) for me to actually go back and let it sink in.

    I might put my own reward up if anyone can find any technical content in my blog.
