A Comment on Comments

Knowing that these were all-around tech-savvy individuals, I knew I was taking a risk when I wrote about Al Katkowsky in this post. After all, if anyone was going to have a Google Alert--it'd be these guys. (See this article on Google Alerts, or just go to the Google Alert page.) I was actually rather worried that someone would think I had tape-recorded the whole conference and was posting it free online (I didn't--I wouldn't. But I wanted to share what information I could remember).

Instead, he left a lovely comment, which includes this bit of wisdom:

As a followup for those who may be interested in how to succeed in the app world, we selected very specific keywords when the app was uploaded to iTunes, and then had as many people as possible download it on the first day it was made available. This approach gives you a shot at spiking up the charts. We are still Top 30 in the Book category, which has over 13,000 titles. Question Of The Day will hit 100,000 downloads as a free iPhone app by the end of November, with over 600,000 views of the integrated video content.

So, you know, read the comments too. There's a lot of good stuff in there.

Also, I recommend clicking (or "ticking," if you're British) the little box that offers to email you responses to your comments. Sometimes I'm just not sure how to reach all of you.

Or just be old-fashioned about it and include a signature with your blog address and e-mail. I'll get back to as many comments as I can.

Hope you're well on this blustery, leaf-orange day.
