Forum Moderators: open
Instead of having my 3 out of 7 days 5-minute-scan on webmasterworld.com, seeing if my posts have been asnwered and shuffling through new posts in my flagged threads, I now have time. Lots of time.
I reload the "recent posts" page every minute. I look at nearly EVERY new post. I posted more messages today than in the last month. No, I DON'T want a discussion on quantity vs. quality.
What I found was a LOT of interesting threads. Threads I would have otherwise missed. Which might have never come to my attention with my normal webmasterworld.com-scanning-routine.
Now I wonder how others handle this? Being happy with the occasional snaphsot? Using tools - and if yes - which tools? Spending hours scaniing past threads?
How do YOU do it?
I made notice of a few forums today that I've never set foot in. Got me to wondering what I'm missing. Mostly I go where the job of the day takes me. The last few days I'm lurking in Foo more than not... you can figure what I've been doing. And, I have learned to keep an eye on the recent posts.
Get well soon.
