To reply to someone in twitter use @username - it means it appears in your feed even if you aren't subscribed.
Twitter didn't click for me until I downloaded twhirl | the social software client - it uses Adobe Air and sits on the desktop, its become more an IM/RSS feed aggegator and I'm loving...
Don't get me wrong, I've used it and its pretty innovative, I just don't think its got enough to take people away from twitter - I mean even twitter is just touching the mainstream.
Easiest way is to have a blog which will come with RSS enabled, but if thats not an option you need something that is updating such as Industry news - if the site is static there isn't much point having RSS.
You need to at least know about twitter if you're serious about social media. Submitting to Digg etc may give you the traffic peak (although most of it is useless) but twitter is the long game, where you can build up relationships with your clients and with keybloggers who can eventually link...
Thats a pretty slow computer that can't load a webpage? You're not talking about downloading anything are you?
Gawd help you with a more intensive site like the new BBC or Digg ;)
I would be careful with overusing some of these plugins though, since too many requests to Google for PR, links etc will flag your IP up as a possible bot and they may block your searches with a Turing test.
Assuming all things being equal (nofollow etc) I'd say the blogs are stronger as they'd have less spam and outbound links, and probably more ontopic copy.
Bet it doesn't hit Cornwall until 2015, but still good news. Whatever happened to that idea of sending it down the powerlines? They were trialling it in Scotland?
Its a great development from Adobe and Google/Yahoo, I expect we'll see a few changes in SERPs once the effects are fully realised as flash dependent sites will have higher visibility in the search engines.
