Check Out Our Minnesota Twins Blog!
Hey Vikings fans!
I just wanted to fill you in on some ideas that I’m going to toy around with on the blog. I’m always trying to make things better here, and sometimes it takes some experimentation.
In the closing days of writing for Content Quake, I was trying to make the blog a place that was a little more “complete” when it came to Vikings news. I would write completely original articles about big news that came up, as well as original articles of course about game previews and recaps, but on top of that, I was trying keep readers current on all the other Vikings news by posting a link to articles and giving a small two-or-three-line opinion on the piece.
What I noticed is that my Twitter followers seemed to love that, as traffic from Twitter went up. On the flip side, facebook fans seemed to hate it (since I was probably filling their wall with small updates), and my following on facebook dropped.
So I’m going to try to balance that a bit. I’m going to try to post articles and links much more often on the blog. I’ll keep up on my regular posts of daily trivia, game recaps and previews, and, of course, the videos, but I’ll be keeping you more up-to-date on the smaller things that are happening in Vikings-Land as well.
For those of you who just want to keep updated on the bigger stuff, Facebook is going to be your preferred way of following the Viking ship. Unless huge things happen, I’ll limit the updates on Facebook to 1 or 2 a day. So, Follow Us On Facebook if you aren’t already!
For those of you who want all things Vikings all the time, you’ll want to either Subscribe to our RSS feed (using your favorite reader), or Follow us on Twitter. Those two feeds get updated automatically, so you’ll be notified whenever I update the blog. Of course, you might want to become a fan on Facebook as well, just so you don’t miss out on the potential interaction with other fans.
Frequency of posting is something I’m always trying to improve, and it’s a delicate balance. Some of you want all the Vikings information that you can get your hands on, while others want to read about the Vikings once a day. Hopefully I’ll be able to better serve all of you with this plan.
I’d love to hear any comments and suggestions you might have.
