Great… thank for share
I have a question about these types of posts: Do your readers click on them as often as they do posts that have better headlines and screenshots? I find these kinds of posts BORING — just another list of stuff, but I might be in the minority.
I almost culled this feed the last time I trimmed my feeds list, but since there’s the occasional interesting post, I gave it another chance. To me, the recent guest writers have been the most interesting posts in a while.
But if others like these kinds of posts, never mind 8^)
How is the smplr website “simpler” than just typing what you need into Google?
I think it’s actually more confusing than finding things the normal way….
@ Dew
Thanks for your feedback. I agree, web got too much of lists already so why would you need yet another one. And that’s exactly why I decided to focus my efforts in attracting guest writers and hopefully reward their efforts in the near future. As about extra posts, I hope to eliminate them completely once we are done integrating directory. Once again, thanks for your feedback.
@ Jerse
Well personally I don’t find it useful either, but it got lots of attention in the recent days so I had to mention it. We present tools and you make the choice.
Frankly, I really like the simplicity of this site. There are lots of places where I can read articles, look at pictures, etc. I come here, run through the list of tools, click on the ones I’m interested in and I’m done. I really prefer just the list of links and the clean look of the site.
