TwitterCounter for @laughingsquid

Well it’s official, there are now more people following me on Twitter than are subscribed to Laughing Squid’s RSS feed. That should give a good idea how things are changing, especially in regards to the ways that people are getting their information.

Also FriendFeed is also quickly becoming big part of the picture, I now have over 4500 people subscribed to my FriendFeed Account.

So how important is your twitter audience to you? Are you contemplating putting the TwitterCounter under or above the Feedburner button in your left sidebar?

Boris, it’s not a numbers game for me, I’m just making the point that now more people subscribe to me on Twitter than they do my blog, which to me is a pretty significant turning point.

It is a numbers game for me and I’ve never had a lot of people subscribe to my blog (dailytechtalk). I must suck as a writer.

Basically, I have 12 RSS subscribers of dailytechtalk and 840 subscribers to Twitter. Sigh. I suck at writing.

Scott, I learned this interesting fact from your twitter stream before I read it here (of course).
