Referencing my previous post in regards to my eBook distribution experiment, I can say thus far it has been a success, creating problems I can only be happy to have. 
In one day, the eBook received nearly 200 downloads, and I more than doubled my newsletter subscribers (now I didn’t have that many to begin with, but I like focusing on things in a positive way…). The good problem is that most people signed up for a newsletter I haven’t started publishing yet… so I need to start one now asap!
Also, I had a huge round of success with my post on Friendster, because I posted about it right away after the news release on Red Herring. A reader [thank you, reader!!!] forwarded the entry to one of the community moderators at AdlandPro, and the resulting link sent a healthy amount of traffic my way as well. It pays to be timely when blogging about news!
 I’ve had this happen in the past when I post about newsworthy subjects. I should have thought earlier of the suggestion I am about to make:: set up news alerts about topics that are relevant to your blog, so that when news hits, you can write about it right away. I really can’t believe I am only thinking of that just now…
