Yeesh, 12 new blog subscribers vs hundreds of app sales? I guess I'm guilty of not coming back to sites I find on here or twitter, but that's still a shockingly small number. I feel like it didn't used to be like that - is there a difference in the way people consume blogs vs how they did 5 years ago?
If I like an article I see on HN, I'll go back and check a few of the previous entries on the blog. If there are a couple of similarly interesting articles in the last 10 entries or so, I'll add it to my RSS reader. If not, I'll just wait for the next interesting one to get upvoted into my sphere of visibility.
Me feelings exactly. I'm not totally sure, but I think the fairly strong sales of the Furinno stand is evidence that the message matters. I was writing about standing desks and then recommended one; perhaps it would have been different if I were writing about workout apps and then recommended one of those...
