It’s just data

Redirection encouragements

Jeff Cheney has redirected his subscription of my new rss feed.  Thanks!

For the first time since mid August, the number subscriptions reported by http://radio.weblogs.com/ to my old feed has fallen below 144.

Most have thought my "fade to white" campaign is pretty funny.  Other suggestions I have received: simply post a notice on my blog asking people to move (that certainly hasn't worked to date).  Start dropping random letters (like, vowels) from my feed.  Insert pop-up adds.

For the moment, I'm sticking with more subtle encouragements.  Some lucky Radio users who are subscribed to my old feed but not my new feed will find a little present in their referrer logs.
