9Rules To Party
Earlier this month, folks over at 9Rules Network, invited me to join their community. In case you did not know 9rules… well they are a fast growing community of folks who delve into different technology issues, web standards and other topics such as design. They talk about things that I don’t know much about. Maybe I know a thing or two about the innards of networks, or VoIP, but I still have to learn about so many things. This is as good a collective to start-off with. The best part is that they don’t want you to change the look and feel of your site. All they want to do is cross pollination of ideas using their RSS aggregator. I think of 9rules as an idea-exchange… I might be smarter because of it. (PS: GigaOM community won’t see the difference, except it might grow a little, as some 9rules members might find my stuff interesting.)
Did it really bring you some more traffic?
Great to have you aboard Om!
Indeed!
I’ve been reading your site for awhile now Om, so it’s great to see you’ve joined 9rules.
tinus, its not about traffic. totally about stuff which makes go ommmm!!
Welcome to the network. 🙂
om, been reading your site (and magazine) for a long time, and also a big fan of 9rules. great to see the two come together. the unifying aspect in the community is the writing, and yours fits nicely. keep it up. great new look btw!
Om,
Nice to see you joining one of the best.
And now did they take the site offline or what is it ? I am getting “The page cannot be displayed” error message.
Welcome to 9rules Om, you’re an awesome addition to the network. We’re one step closer to have a completely Rundlified network 😀
oh damn…. the 9rules servers down already. not a good sign. 🙂
but seriously, its good stuff on that network all. i love finding stuff which i never would pay attention to as much.
Does this mean I can now refer to Om as “fellow 9ruler Om”? That’s wicked.
Good to have you onboard Om — your site rocks!
Sorry about the downtime. We got slammed pretty good today, but we’re back up. Submissions will be open an extra hour to compensate.
Hey, welcome aboard 9rules roomie! It’s a great network and the beauty of it is everyone has their own unique brand.
Om, Congratulations. Or rather, 9Rules, Congratulations. 🙂
Hi, Om! I just knew I’d be seeing more of you around. Welcome.
Welcome aboard!
