OMC Hits a Milestone of the RSS Sort
Online Media Cultist hit a milestone today that I’m very proud of: 105 rss subscribers.
As these things tend fluctuate in peaks and valleys, we may not see triple digits again anytime soon, but for the moment I’ll take a moment to celebrate… and to thank everyone who has thought enough of this site to sign up and have it delivered to you in whatever form you like.
I consider all of you to be “customers” of a sort, and it’s my job to serve up a product that you’ll enjoy. This is also as good a time as any to ask a question that former New York City Ed Koch would ask of people on the street: “How ‘em I doin’?” Is there anything you’d like to see more of, less of? Any kinds of stories that I should be covering but am not?
Basically, I’ve tried to strike a balance between broadly appealing Internet-related stories and geekier “inside-the-web 2.0-sphere” stuff that gets into my deeper interests and which I can draw on my experience as a web producer and cultist of the Interwebs. Hopefully the balance is a good one that people are digging.
Look forward to more OMC and more milestones and web cultery (as opposed to fine web cutlery) ahead!

Congratulations! You’re still in the triple digits right now, so that’s a good sign. I’ve enjoyed coming back here regularly to see what’s new on the web. I don’t have time to read every post on TechCrunch or Read/WriteWeb or some of the other big sites every day, so it’s nice to find some news here in an easily-digestable quantity. It’s always current and often brings the other voices in to fill out the story so I can go and check them out if I want to.
Keep it up, man.

Eric, thanks so much !!
One of the challenges of writing a blog about technology and the web is to say something fresh and interesting, since there’s so many great sites already out there. Another way in which I try to find balance is to cover the big stories that are of interest to me while mixing in original stories and coverage that aren’t being massively fixated upon by the rest of the tech blogosphere.
