Performancing Blog Review
by Paul Flyer
Performancing is home to a group of professional bloggers writing (and developing) for professional bloggers.
At the time performancing first came onto the scene in 2005, it seemed like they made a huge splash very quickly. With Nick Wilson (from Threadwatch) and Patrick Gavins (from Text Link Ada) behind the site, it is easy to understand why. After building a solid team of writers, Performancing has gone on to produce some of the most applicable and helpful articles about blogging.
The Performancing site is run like a business. It should be obvious since it IS a business, but I highlight that point for beginners. Way too often in the web world (and the brick and mortar world too), people are looking to make a quick buck without much work. Performancing is a solid example of good business skills and hard work producing a web site of value. While I don’t know their numbers, I only hope that are indeed a financial success.
One thing I appreciate about Performancing is the reasonable pace of posts. If I dont read it for a few days or even a week, I don’t feel overwhelmed by “make up” reading. It seems to me that they seek to make every word count, for it is often that I flagging their posts in my reader for future access.
Performancing also develops applications to assist bloggers in their blogging. Currently they offer two free products. Performancing for Firefox is a Firefox extension that is a full featured blog editor. Performancing Metrics is a web site statisitical tool created specifically for bloggers. Each of these will be reviewed separately.
