Why Triond Article Feeds are Like Your Own Little Publishing Companies

Posted on September 19th, 2009 in Online Writing by Athlyn Green

The poor Triond article feed is unappreciated and underused. "Mr. Feed" is often forgotten, left to languish in obscurity, when he’s fully equipped to drive traffic to your articles.

Poor “Mr. Feed” just wants to sow “seed.”

Mr. Feed can instantly tell the world you’ve published another article. He acts in a fashion similar to Twitter, which can be linked with other sites and shows automatic updates. But Mr. Feed goes one better, he broadcasts a number of your articles, sowing seed or these “children” across a wide population.

Now, it should be obvious that Mr. Feed is fully-functional and has staying power . . . but, alas, his attributes are largely ignored and he’s not often allowed out of the corner.

As I said, poor Mr. Feed stands ready to serve and is relegated to the dog house. He reminds me of the Eveready Energizer Bunny, because Mr. Feed just keeps going and going . . .

He’s occasionally courted by writing super-stars who are on top of the game; he’s forgotten by the absent-minded types who plan to remember . . . one day; and he’s ignored by those who feel it’s far too stressful to learn how to use an article Feed and actually install it.

So, our Mr. Feed is treated like many husbands: tolerated but mentally assigned to the dust bin. His eagerness to please is met with a “Do Not Touch” stance. His usefulness is largely ignored because he’s perceived as being just too demanding.

Thankfully, there are some writers who prefer Feeds to chocolate . . .

In sum: Mr. Feed may look like a blockhead and seem overly focused on performance, but he is a good egg after all and can be used to promote your articles.

Let’a hope poor Mr. Feed is brought out of the dust bin!

Combining humor to make a challenging subject more appealing is an effectiveapproach. If we can get a chuckle out of something it doesn’t seem quite so hard.

Just a heads up everyone, Nutuba (Joel Schnoor) has used this to excellent effect in his new book: “I Laid an Egg on Aunt Ruth’s Head.” This book tackling tough grammar issues with humor. Anyone reading it has got to chuckle over aunt Ruth and her adventures.
