You don’t give yourself enough credit, my friend. I “Stumbled” over you this morning and I hope that at least a few more people will find you!

Right now I am using digg, stumble, and newsvine. I do get some hits from digg, but most of the people on there are very childish and only want to see articles that do the Bush-Hitler thing.
Free Republic is a strange sort, you may be right on the Kos comparison.

If it weren’t for the fact Google picked up on my poetry entries, I wouldn’t get 100-200 hits a day, and that’s from people typing in “free Shakespeare essay.” – My audience has been a bunch of terrible ungrateful [redacted], and it’s all thanks to Google. -

I notice this page was stumbled. I just stumbled it myself, but stumbleupon is full of spammers. Reddit actually gets a few of my entries some hits, Digg is a place I had an audience once but still managed to get drowned out. Propeller is full of crazy Leftists, as is Clipmarks.

The services I recommend to you:

1. Mahalo Follow – if you’ve got an entry or two on something specific, try to get it in their search listings. This might be essential long term

2. Free Republic – I despise the commentators there. I mean, if those people ever showed up in a classroom of mine I hope I’d have a taser on hand, or a cattle prod. They’re coming close to giving Kos a run for his money. Still, if you post articles there, it’ll get attention. Good attention? Lemme put it this way: if you’re not convinced the world is fallen…

3. Myspace – Add me, I’m http://myspace.com/in_excelsis – I’m using the forums to try and find active myspacers, add them to friends, and slowly build up the fan base that way. The sheer number of accounts on myspace makes it invaluable – if you go to the forums, there are plenty with anywhere from 5-20 thousand registered users.

Hope that helps.
