Mention blog in email
AndFlickr
And audio – email it to me!
Could have done the same onFacebookw/ Flickr
Audio…
And even Twitter. I could have had my FB status update Twitter
Which, as I mentioned, my blog already does. And speaking of my blog…
I could have blogged about interesting responses I received via email…
Interesting audio I had recorded…
And interesting photos posted to Flickr
This, in turn, could have generated more comments to my blog with more responses.
