Who’s your referral daddy, BlogHighEd?

It isn’t often I get to gloat. (I am a humble man, with much to be humble about.) So when the opportunity comes my way, I take advantage of it.

Such was the case when BlogHighEd recently posted some stats about its first two months. Guess who was No. 1 in the referrals category? Check it out:

Impressive, if I do say so myself. I mean, I even top Google, and Guy Kawasaki. What’s up with that?

The data clearly prove that you, gentle readers, are awesome.

So keep up the awesomeness and keep me at the top of the BlogHighEd referral list. Clicky clicky clicky. Thank you.

P.S. – Kudos to Matt Herzberger for winning BlogHighEd’s NCAA bracketology competition, the news of which somehow eclipsed the more important news about referral stats. Go figure.

Summize, a Twitter search engine

If you use Twitter the way I do, you probably struggle to stay up with the stream of messages that come your way. Summize may offer a solution. It’s a new search engine for Twitter posts, and it appears to be facile and robust.

The service’s “About Us” section describes its mission as “to highlight the topics and attitudes expressed within conversational media.” The site pulls the posts from Twitter’s public timeline and gives a number of search options. For instance, you can:

You can also use a dropdown menu to do all of that. Plus, you can search for posts in 18 languages, and the site makes it easy to post your search results on Twitter.
