When it comes to feedback in fandom, I tend to agree with the school of thought that suggests 'feedback' comes in a number of forms. Not just comments or emails but recs, bookmarks and hits/visits, to name a few alternatives.

So, being the obsessive type, and already having a compulsion to know as exhaustively as possible what people are saying about me, I've got a few techniques for measuring these kinds of feedback.


( So. Here's how I do it. Take a peek into my toolkit! ...so to speak. )


Right. I can't think of any more off the top of my head that I really use all that frequently. If you're interested, I'm also obsessed with recording and organising all this data, so as well as that tag of mine on del.icio.us, I also memory all the livejournal entries I'm recced in. I like it :)

I got on a bit of a tangent away from LJ at the end there, and could have included things like Feedburner for people who have websites/blogs that are more typically subscribed to, but I'm not sure how relevant it would be.

Please comment if you have other tips or tools or strategies! I am infinitely interested.
