Exciting 20SomethingFinance TGIA-Thanksgiving Updates
If you like toilet humor and personal finance, you’ll love the post I just posted over on my new personal finance blog, MicroFrugality.com. Check it out and subscribe to that blog or you’re missing out on ‘nuggets’ like this one.
In Other Self Promoting News:
Twitter: I’ve updated my Twitter background and plan to start Tweeting more often. Follow me on Twitter!
LinkedIn: I’d like to start connecting with readers and contributors to 20somethingfinance on a personal and professional level more than I have in the past. To that end, I just created a LinkedIn profile. Add me to your network!
My Ugly Mug: I’ve just updated my gravatar (which you’ll find in my comments) to actually include a picture of my face. How vain is that?! Just another effort to provide a little more transparency around here and connect with you all on a personal level.
Content Updates: I’m getting over 100 direct visits to the site daily, which means people are typing in the URL or bookmarking to come to the site to see what’s new. It’s much easier to keep up with new content than that. If you want free updates, subscribe to the blog.

As one of the people who links directly to this site through a bookmark:
The reason I do not want to subscribe via e-mail (I’m not a fan of RSS so that’s not an option for me) is because I get a lot of emails, and if I’m busy at the moment I receive the email, I will completely ignore it. The bookmark lets me check the site on my own time.
@ Julie – To each her own, but RSS sounds perfect for you, what don’t you like about it?
To keep my answer short: because the technology would take me more time to absorb (and set up perfectly) than it takes me to click “open all tabs” in my “free time” bookmark folder right now.
Interestingly I’m also slowly phasing out of using RSS too… even though its all setup already. Whenever I load my RSS client, seeing the # of unread post always makes me cringe… so I’ve ended up just using minor bookmarks for a few news sites that I read regularly. Its probably time to clean up my RSS feed reading list. In either case.. toilet humors are my kind of humor, will definitely subscribe (ignore what I just mentioned about how I’m using RSS less these days).
I don’t use RSS either. I check sites on my blog roll, the categories from Wise Bread’s top blogs lists, and mainly from my readers/commenters.
Wow, didn’t realize there were so many RSS haters. I can understand though, as RSS has become a full blown addiction for me. Of course, the RSS lovers aren’t here to defend themselves, being that they haven’t left their feed reader to comment. Interestingly enough, RSS readers outnumber email subscribers about 5 to 1 on this blog.
I rather have all my readers come to my site and read and interact, rather than subscribe to RSS frankly.
It looks like many people do, since we’re average 35 comments a post.
I too have abandoned my RSS reader, as I suspect many of the 2000 rss subscribers to my own blog have.
It’s just turned into another ‘inbox’ that fills up too quickly.
My prefered method of notification these days would be a weekly, ‘best of’ or ’round up’ of the previous weeks posts. Maybe even a monthly if you don’t post too often.
@ Jess – I’ll have to consider. What are you doing on your site?
@ Financial Samurai – looks like you offer a full feed in your RSS. Maybe the way to go is to offer one of those short snippet feeds.
